The Chemo Cap: A Trusted Ally

Why Wear a Chemo Cap?

During chemotherapy, the scalp can become more fragile: dryness, irritation, sensitivity to cold or overheating. Without hair, the head also loses part of its natural thermoregulation.

A chemo cap helps to:

• Protect a sensitive scalp
• Maintain body temperature
• Reduce perspiration and moisture buildup
• Prevent heat loss
• Restore a reassuring, personal style

Two Textile Expertises for Optimal Comfort

100% Bamboo Chemo Cap: Natural Softness & Thermoregulation

Our bamboo chemo caps are made in Poland. Bamboo is naturally soft, breathable, and thermoregulating. All our models are guaranteed free from harmful substances.

• 100% bamboo
• Breathable and skin-friendly
• Ideal for everyday wear, all year round (especially in summer)

It helps maintain a balanced body temperature without a damp feeling.

Technical Lined Chemo Cap: Thermoregulation & UPF 50+ Sun Protection

For those seeking enhanced protection, we offer technical lined chemo caps, made in France.

• Thermoregulating lining
• UPF 50+ sun protection
• Guaranteed free from harmful substances
• Replicates the natural protective properties of hair

Without hair, the scalp can burn quickly in the sun. UPF 50+ provides maximum protection against UV rays while maintaining thermal balance.

How to Choose Your Chemo Cap

Check the Size

Measure your head circumference in centimeters. Our chemo caps are one size thanks to their elasticity, but a well-fitted cap should stay in place without feeling too tight.

Choose the Right Fabric

• Bamboo: maximum softness for daily wear.
• Cotton: natural, simple, and easy to care for.
• Technical lined UPF 50+: enhanced sun protection and advanced thermoregulation.

Pairing a Chemo Cap with a Fringe: The Les Franjynes Signature

All our chemo caps can accommodate an attachable fringe or hair crown to recreate a natural hairline around the face — without wearing a full wig.

Our partial hair prostheses may be eligible for reimbursement by French Social Security when purchased in a pharmacy or authorized retailer, according to current regulations.

Chemo Cap Care Guide

Simple Washing for Maximum Durability

• Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) maximum with mild detergent
• No bleaching agents
• Use a laundry bag for protection

Preserving Lightness

Avoid tumble drying. Air dry flat, in the shade, to preserve shape and color.
