Lidia by Design: Bamboo Chemo Hats with a Difference

Not all chemo hats are created equal, and the Lidia by Design collection is a perfect example of what's possible when someone designs specifically for the needs of cancer patients rather than adapting general fashion headwear.

We're proud to stock this range, and our customers love it. Here's what makes it special.

The fabric

Lidia by Design uses bamboo fabric throughout, and if you haven't experienced bamboo against your skin before, it's a revelation. It's extraordinarily soft, often compared to cashmere in texture, and it has natural antibacterial properties that make it particularly kind to sensitive scalps. It's also excellent at regulating temperature — cool when you're warm, warm when you're cool — which makes it comfortable year-round.

The design

The Lidia by Design range includes turbans, hats, scarves and headbands. The styling is elegant rather than obviously clinical — these are pieces you'd choose to wear, not just pieces you'd settle for. The constructions are thoughtful too: no seams where they'd create pressure on a bare scalp, soft edges throughout, and a fit that stays comfortable all day.

They fit head circumferences of 53–58 cm, which suits most adults comfortably.

Who is this range for?

The Lidia by Design collection is a brilliant choice if:

  • You're particularly sensitive to fabric and need the softest option available.
  • You tend to run warm and want something that won't make you hotter.
  • You want something that looks and feels more like a fashion choice than a medical necessity.
  • You're looking for a special occasion piece as well as an everyday option.

About the author

Hi, I’m Lindsey. I started Chemotherapy Headwear after my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. She really struggled to find anything comfortable to wear after she lost her hair so I designed my own range to ensure other women wouldn’t have to go through the same thing. Cancer has touched my whole family repeatedly, so I know how frightening this time can feel. I’m not a medical professional, and any guidance I provide has been based on my experience working with cancer patients over the years. Please check anything about your treatment with your care team.
