Millions of women around the world are facing the same challenge.  They are fighting cancer.

Everything is from now on is put into perspective, the way those women used to live, the things they considered important, the worries over insignificant things. As of now the only thing that matters is to fight the disease.

Among the things we lose in the process of gaining our life back is self-confidence. As if fighting for your life wasn’t enough, on top of that, if you go through chemotherapy, you will lose your hair.

We are always living under the burden of the social norms that women without hair are not as beautiful and that owning long hair defines us as a person. But we couldn’t agree less! Having stunning, long, and healthy hair is everything about fitting in into the social norms and into the society that we are living in and nothing with who as a person you indeed are.

However, if you want to gain back some of the lost confidence, there is a little something that will make your life a bit easier : wearing turbans.

Let's get things straight, turbans are not only worn by women who are struggling with cancer but on the contrary, there is so much to it.
