Top 10 Gifts for Women With Hair Loss

What in the world do you buy for a woman who is devastated by her hair loss?  Or a woman taking her hair loss in stride but not really looking forward to holiday social gatherings?  Or that woman for whom hair loss simply does not have the power to dim her holiday cheer, but her nighttime thermostat settings are giving you the sweats?  4Women has you (and her) covered.  Here are our top 10 gift recommendations for the women who lacks hair this holiday season.

1) Beaubeau - How did you know? Stylish, comfortable, secure and fun to wear.  Will boost her confidence for all the holiday festivities.

2) Sleep Cap - No amount of blankets will warm her if her bald head is covered.  You’ll finally be able to turn down the heat.

3) Reversible Headwarmer Beaubeau - same unique beaubeau design, warmer fabrics, and 2 fabric styles for the price of one!

4) Swimbeau - Headed to warmer waters for the holidays?  The only swimcap comfortable and fashionable enough to wear all day.

5) Eyebrow Kit - For women who have lost their eyebrows due to medical hair loss.  Makeup is key to not looking “sick” or different.

6) Books - Maybe self-help guides are what she needs and wants right now, or maybe it’s just an uplifting read to lighten her load.  Here are a few ideas:

• If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing, by LeslieAnn Butler - Won 2 literary awards, including Best Body/Health book. “Helpful, hopeful, funny and fabulous.” (NAAF)
• Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls, by Marybeth Maida and Debbie Kiederer - A beauty guide for women undergoing chemotherapy.
• Not Now, I’m Having a No Hair Day, by Christine Clifford - “Moments of fear, frustration, embarrassment, love, and joy are captured playfully in 60 cartoons… a humorous look at a serious subject.”
• It’s Only Hair - hair loss help and humor, by Christine Mager Wevik, an Alopecian.
• The Autoimmune Beauty Book, by Judith Edna Earley
• When Cancer Hits, by Britta Aragon

7)  Earrings - Go ahead, splurge on a pair.  Jewelry is a great accessory for reframing a face without hair.

8) 4Women.com Gift Certificate - so she can get all of the above.

9) Massage - To relax and let go of some of that emotional distress.

10) Facial - Without hair, she may feel over-exposed.  A facial will feel good and raise her self-confidence.

11) This one is FREE - a listening ear.  No need to solve her problems - just listen and validate her emotions.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!
