Ways to work together

Comfort, delivered where it's needed most

Most of our headwraps reach women through organizations that already care for them. Pick the one that sounds like you.

Our story

It started with one headwrap and a question in the chemo room.

Natalie was 27 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She kept working through treatment and wanted to look like herself, not like someone who was sick. Every headwrap she bought felt like a costume.

So she picked a fabric she loved and designed her own. Her mom, who has been sewing for more than thirty years, made it real.

At one of her treatments, another woman asked where she could buy one. "I'd buy this in a heartbeat," she said. That was the start of Scarves for Healing.

“I did not get cancer for nothing.”

From the women who wear them

Don't just take our word for it

“A chemo day uniform”

I definitely have a chemo day uniform. Pre-tied head scarf from @scarvesforhealing is a must. My other wraps are a little snug… this one is especially comfortable on chemo days.

“So beautiful even without hair”

The fit is loose enough that it's not rubbing on my sensitive scalp. I feel so beautiful even without hair. The compliments from everyone were amazing.

“A little sparkle”

Oh my gosh, I'm obsessed! It's so soft and comfortable but also so, so cute! Adds a little sparkle to a not-so-sparkly situation.

“Like myself again”

Watching your hair fall out, having your body altered by surgery, and gaining or losing weight during chemo can quickly make you feel like your femininity is being stripped from you. The head scarves made by cancer survivor Natalie Bello are not only beautiful, they are instantly comfortable and require no work. Her fabric options are also very sophisticated and pretty. I always felt like myself again while wearing mine.

Good to know

Questions we hear a lot

How do I buy a single headwrap?

Open any headwrap and choose "Request this headwrap," then add your shipping address and send the form. Natalie will email you a secure invoice, usually within a day or two. You can pay by card without an account, and we ship as soon as it's paid. U.S. orders over $100 ship free.

How do I know it will fit?

The cotton-spandex blend stretches, so one size fits most heads that measure 21 to 25 inches around. Measure just above your ears and across your forehead. Not sure? Email us and we'll help on a quick video call.

What's the difference between Shine Bright and Bamboo Lining?

Both are pre-tied with a cotton-spandex outer. Shine Bright has a subtle shimmer. Bamboo Lining adds a soft bamboo layer inside that's breathable and gentle on a sensitive scalp.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash in cold water and let it air dry. Please skip the washer, dryer, iron and dry cleaning.

Can we order in bulk for patients or members?

Yes. Most of our headwraps go to cancer centers, nonprofits, support groups and retailers. Tell us how many you need and when, and we'll reply personally with pricing and timing.

How does a company sponsorship work?

Your company funds a set of headwraps. We make them by hand and deliver them to a cancer center or nonprofit with a note from your team. You receive photos and a short impact summary to share.

What is your return policy?

You can return unworn items with tags and original packaging within 30 days of receiving them. Email info@scarvesforhealing.com first and we'll send instructions. Custom and partner orders can't be returned, but tell us right away if anything arrives damaged or wrong.
