How can I cover my head during chemo?

These can be more comfortable, especially in the summer and warmer climates, and allow for more diversity day-to-day.
What do you wear during chemo?
The American Cancer Society recommends dressing in layers. Dress comfortably in sweatpants or yoga pants. Choose light materials so if you sweat, you won’t feel sticky. Wear a low neck or V-neck shirt so nurses can easily place ports to administer the chemo, and bring an extra shirt in case you sweat through the first.
