Bonnets pour les femmes atteintes de cancer et d'alopécie

A chemo cap is not just a head covering.
It becomes essential when chemotherapy causes hair loss and the scalp becomes more sensitive.

It protects the head, provides comfort, helps maintain body warmth… and above all, it allows you to continue feeling like yourself.

At Les Franjynes, we design chemo caps for women, men, and children, created to support every stage of treatment. Our fabrics are guaranteed free from harmful substances and respectful of fragile, treatment-sensitive skin.

    Autumn/Winter chemo caps

    Winter changes everything. The air becomes colder, drier, sometimes harsh… and when you are going through chemotherapy, you often feel it even more. The scalp becomes sensitive, the skin feels tight, friction is harder to tolerate, and the cold reaches areas where hair used to provide natural protection.

    At Les Franjynes, we designed a collection of winter chemo hats to help you get through the season with more comfort, more warmth… and more style. Because protecting yourself from the cold doesn’t mean giving up on elegance.

    This winter selection is made for women looking for a chemo hat that feels good every day: a hat that protects, comforts, stays securely on the head, and helps you feel better when you look in the mirror — even on days when treatment takes up too much space.

    A chemo sleep cap is an essential accessory following chemotherapy-related hair loss. At night, the scalp can become more sensitive and more exposed to cold, friction from the pillow and feelings of discomfort.

    A well-chosen sleep cap provides warmth, softness and a reassuring sense of protection. In short, everything you want at bedtime—with, ideally, no irritating seams and absolutely no fuss.

    At Les Franjynes, our chemo sleep caps are designed to support women during treatment, throughout recovery or whenever their head needs a little extra comfort.

  • Spring summer chemo caps
    Spring summer chemo caps

    Summer is the season when the body craves lightness. And when going through chemotherapy (or a period of hair loss), the head often becomes the first place where everything is felt: heat, sweating, a sensitive scalp, stronger sun exposure…

    At Les Franjynes, we wanted to create a collection of summer chemo hats for women that reproduces, as closely as possible, the natural benefits of hair: thermoregulation (to prevent overheating) and sun protection (to protect the scalp from UV rays). The result: thermoregulating chemo hats that adapt to body temperature and UPF 50+ UV-protective fabrics, designed to stay comfortable even on the hottest days.

    Our spring–summer selection includes 9 models, available in solid colors or patterns, with a seamless tube construction (no visible seams), and produced between France, Portugal and Poland.

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.
