Why Our Turbans Are Perfect for Hair Loss
Our bamboo turbans combine sustainable materials, traditional craftsmanship, and innovative design to create headwear that's beautiful, functional, and gentle on sensitive scalps after chemo or with alopecia.
-
Eco-Friendly Bamboo
Our turbans are made from sustainable bamboo fabric that's gentle on the planet. Bamboo grows up to 91 cm per day without pesticides or fertilizers, making it one of the most sustainable crops on earth. It also releases 35% more oxygen than equivalent trees.
-
Perfect for Chemo & Alopecia
Specially designed for those experiencing hair loss from cancer treatment or alopecia. The ultra-soft bamboo fabric is gentle on sensitive scalps, while the antibacterial properties help prevent infections during periods of compromised immunity. The secure fit provides confidence during daily activities.
-
Easy Care
Machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. The natural antibacterial properties of bamboo mean fewer washes are needed, saving water and energy. The fabric maintains its softness and color wash after wash without pilling.
-
Handmade in Yorkshire, UK
Each turban is carefully handcrafted in our Yorkshire workshop by skilled artisans earning a living wage. We use traditional techniques combined with modern design to ensure exceptional quality and attention to detail in every piece.
Why Bamboo is Perfect for Cancer Patients
Bamboo isn't just sustainable — it's a revolutionary textile with unique properties that make it ideal for those experiencing hair loss during cancer treatment.
-
Naturally Antibacterial
Bamboo contains a bio-agent called 'bamboo kun' that naturally prevents bacteria from cultivating, making our turbans naturally hygienic and odor-resistant without chemical treatments. This is especially important for cancer patients with compromised immune systems during treatment.
-
Temperature Regulating
The micro-gaps in bamboo fiber structure provide exceptional ventilation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. This helps cancer patients manage temperature fluctuations that often occur during treatment, providing consistent comfort.
-
Ultra-Soft Texture
Bamboo fibers are naturally round and smooth without chemical treatment, creating a luxuriously soft fabric that's gentle on sensitive scalps. For those who have lost hair during cancer treatment, this exceptional softness prevents irritation and discomfort.
-
Moisture Wicking
Bamboo fabric absorbs moisture 3-4 times better than cotton, drawing sweat away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the day. This helps manage sweating that can occur as a side effect of cancer treatments.
-
UV Protection
Our bamboo fabric naturally blocks up to 97.5% of harmful UV rays, providing protection for sensitive scalps after hair loss. This added protection is crucial for cancer patients whose skin may be more vulnerable to sun damage during treatment.
-
Hypoallergenic
The smooth fiber surface and natural antibacterial properties make bamboo ideal for those with allergies, sensitive skin, or undergoing medical treatments. Cancer patients often experience increased skin sensitivity, making our hypoallergenic turbans a comfortable solution.

How it's going...
Claire's Craft Lab is my full time job, which fits around my 3 children. I sew whilst they're all at school and attend fairs and markets at weekends, selling my hair accessories. My products may have changed but my passion to create bespoke items that make you feel fabulous wherever you wear them has never changed.
Today, Claire continues to handcraft each turban in our Cumbria workshop, maintaining the highest standards of quality while expanding our color palette and designs. We also offer free shipping on all orders to make our products more accessible to those who need them
most.
Our Story
How it started...
Claire's Craft Labs was founded by Claire Oliver, a Lab Technician turned seamstress born out of necessity but discovered a new passion In 2014, my eldest daughter started nursery and nearly every weekend attended a party that needed a present! I started making little bows for the birthday girls, the parents asked for more and things snowballed from there.
I inherited my grandma's sewing machine, a 1939 66k singer, a beautiful glossy black machine which had sat unloved for several years. Once my son started nursery in 2016 I learnt how to sew on that sewing machine with the aid of You Tube. That changed everything, not only could I offer handmade bows but scrunchies and headbands too.
2017, I attended my first school fair and Claire's Craft Lab was born and it's changed a lot since then!
Everyone know what happened in 2020, but with no markets or school fairs I no longer had an income, it was time to launch online! Increasing my product range to adapt to demands and fashion treads while also creating custom items.
While researching for a new product influenced by a customer request, Claire discovered the remarkable properties of bamboo fabric.
Inspired by the comfort and sustainability of bamboo, Claire began crafting turbans for friends undergoing chemotherapy. The response was overwhelming - not only were the turbans stylish, but the natural temperature regulation and softness of
bamboo made them perfect for sensitive scalps and those who had lost hair during cancer treatment.

The bamboo fabric has transformed my experience with headwear - it's breathable, doesn't slide off like silk, and feels luxurious against my skin. I've recommended these to everyone in my support group."
