Milky Way from Christine is a nightcap made of milk fibres which is a natural material with special qualities. It is breathable, sweat absorbing and keeps you warm – just like wool. Milk fibres are therefore a natural choice for our nightcap in more than one sense – the cap will keep your head warm during night and at the same time it will feel soft and comfortable to wear -almost like a second skin. The production of milk fibres is known to have no impact on the environment, so milk fibres truly are a green product! One size fits all and is extremely light weight and comfortable.

Headwear, Turbans & Hats

Marli Headwrap from Christine of Denmark

The Christine Headwear collection is designed in Denmark, and is created especially for women who have experienced hair loss through chemotherapy. These hats have been made from the finest of materials to ensure sensitive skin can breathe. Details such as longer ties add extra security and enhances volume and shape of your natural silhouette. This includes their Sun Series Care Hats and wraps.

During cold winter days Christine headwraps can be really practical, they are made from soft natural fabrics that won’t aggrivate the skin. They are also a stylish way to cover the head when you want a day off from your wig. They come in a variety of colours, too. Some are made with printed fabrics, others are plain.

Turbans are a low cost alternative to a wig, but can also be dressed with brooches for that extra special Hollywood filmstar look. Turbans were extremely popular in the 1940s and were often worn by stars including Great Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Heidi Lamour. Fashion designer Paul Poiret introduced the turban into the western fashion scene in the early 20th century. Since then, the turban has cycled its way around the fashion industry ; From the dashing roaring 20s to Hollywood actresses who popularized the turban in 1940s film noirs.

Miss Jay’s fashion blog has some excellent video clips on how to dress or wear a turban. Go and check it out for some inspirational style ideas.
