Reddit mentions: The best baseball caps for women

Hey.. was just browsing reddit and saw your post. I am a recent cold cap user and success story. Hodgkins lymphoma stage 4B. 12 treatments.
I am busy at the moment, but will be back to update my post. Feel free to PM me questions in the meantime .
Btw.. I'm a 24 year old female.

Update: Some background info.. I was diagnosed with HL stage 4B in April 2014. I got 12 treatments of ABVD starting April 21st and finished my last treatment September 25. I used cold caps for every treatment except for my first one. (I didn't find out about them in time).

Like you, I didn't want to lose my hair either. So I turned to the Internet to see if there was any way to save it. After I discovered cold caps, I asked my doctor about them. He had heard of them before but wasn't really too familiar. But he said they would be fine to use if I wanted. He was skeptical about whether they would be successful though.

I am sitting here, almost one month post chemo, with a full head of hair. I will note that during chemo, I never fully lost my eyebrows, eyelashes, or body hair. Everything definitely thinned, but I still had to shave my legs and armpits. So I do believe that my personal reaction to the chemo helped with keeping my hair, but I still think the cold caps definitely contributed as well. Also, I had very little side effects from the chemo at all. Just a little more tired than usual. I consider myself very fortunate.

So regarding the cold caps and supplies I used (I'll link everything below - so you can see prices and how I did everything).
Let me just say that this is a very very big commitment. Here is a brief overview on wearing the caps.
You pretty much need at least 2 people to come to every treatment with you. Or at least have someone strong enough to wheel the cap cooler in and out (it's pretty heavy). Caps need to be worn and changed every 30 minutes for 9 hours on treatment day. Start wearing caps one hour before, during, and 6 hours after the infusion process is over. I basically started wearing the caps at 10:15am, chemo infusion started at 11:15am, chemo infusion finshed at about 1:15pm, and i finished wearing caps at 7:15pm. It's pretty much a cold miserable process in my opinion. Not many people can take it. But if it's worth it to you to save your hair, you get used to it. I did anyway.
I had my mom and stepdad helping me with the cap process.
The night before treatment, my stepdad would go to our local grocery store and buy 60 to 70 lbs. of dry ice. It's not cheap. About $1/lb.
Then him and my mom would break up the ice so it can properly fit in the 110 quart cooler we bought.
The 6 caps need to be carefully placed in the cooler with the ice to maintain the dome shape of the cap so they fit on your head nicely on chemo day. There is a video on YouTube that shows how to do this. I can try and find it if you're interested.

Here is a list of everything I used. We picked up a few tricks along the way.

Supplies Needed:

-6 caps
http://www.amazon.com/Elasto-Gel-Hypothermia-Cap/dp/B000YC9LOU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405016864&sr=8-1&keywords=cold+caps

-110 quart cooler (the larger size makes it easier to fit ice and not crush caps bc it is important for them to keep a dome shape for your head)
http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/igloo-maxcold-174-glide-153-110-qt-wheeled-cooler/pid-255753?color=Blue&N=933739034+933739035+933739033+349792019+4294965825

-Velcro straps to tighten caps to head (purchase at Walmart in the craft section)
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Velcro-Stretch-Strap-Black-2pk/17190454

-About 70 lbs of dry ice each time. It is usually sold in 10 lb increments (some local grocery stores carry it or sometimes Walmart) A portion of it will need to be chopped up and placed into 6 doubled up grocery bags to be placed inside each cap inside the cooler. The remaining slabs are placed in thin boxes along the walls of the cooler.

-Gloves to handle the dry ice.

-Spray water bottle to wet hair before putting into pigtails.

-Plastic shower cap to be worn under caps to protect hair from pulling when switching caps.

Also, here is some additional advice I have have to help with the process.

I used and still use Nioxin Hair Care products in system 4. This stuff is pretty gentle and promotes hair growth. http://www.amazon.com/Nioxin-System-Cleanser-Therapy-Treated/dp/B002O0D8P8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405019104&sr=8-1&keywords=nioxin+system+4

I didnt use a hair dryer and rarely used heat products. I washed my hair with cool water, usually about twice a week. Im used to washing my greasy hair every day, but the chemo pretty much stops a lot of the oil production in your body, thus a dryer scalp.
I also tried to brush gently as possible as to not tug on hair. On the days you wash your hair are the days you will notice the most hair falling out. At first first it freaked me out and I thought the caps weren't working, but it's normal to shed. At the end of the whole process, no one can tell a difference in my hair anyway.
One last tip is to make sure not to make the caps too cold. We didn't buy a thermometer to monitor the temperature, but probably should have. Just be careful with the crown of your head because this is where the caps give the most pressure and you can possibly get frostbite in that area.
There should be directions that come with the caps to advise you on this point.
This is all I can think of for now. Feel free PM me with any questions.

Edit: I thought of a couple more things after reading your other posts. Unfortunately, I did gain 20 lbs. I was 125 pounds, 5'6 and am now a little above 140. So that sucks. I'm working on losing it now. Only reason I gained it was because was eating A LOT! You don't just gain for no reason. Oh and I also wanted to mention my port placement. I know a lot of people get it in their upper chest, which seems to be the most common. I didn't exactly like the idea of having a scar above my boob though, so I asked the doctor for another option. He said I could also get it in my upper, inner arm. Which is what I did. There is a small bulge and scar there. The port is about the size and shape of a Dove Chocolate Promise. But it's pretty well hidden and most people can't see it.

Some of these aren't on Amazon, but all of them outside of amazon are on my wishlist, is that okay?

1.) Something that is grey.

[This compilation of xkcd comics!] (http://www.amazon.com/xkcd-0-Randall-Munroe/dp/0615314465/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=I12D1D7CV12AVC) Though there aren't any formerly-unseen comics included, this is perfect for the lover of the famous (and always relevant) Xkcd webcomics.

2.) Something reminiscent of rain.

[This t-shirt for fans of Incubus that is apparently out of stock now, but I'm keeping it on my wishlist to gaze wistfully at.] (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/315rOsJeWzL._SL135_.jpg)
Incubus has always been one of my favorite bands, and all art that the lead singer (Brandon Boyd) produces is amazing, so I had high faith in this shirt being wonderful if I had the money to buy it.

3.) Something food related that is unusual.

[So I typed in "candy" and this popped up..] (http://www.amazon.com/LOCOMO-Rainbow-Hedgehog-Plastic-Baseball/dp/B00BRWH99K/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_2_49?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1376327288&sr=1-49&keywords=candy)
I'm not sure what I was expecting.

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why.

[My mom has always wanted to learn calligraphy and someone recommended this book to me] (http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Calligraphy-Complete-Lettering-Design/dp/0767907329/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=I35YCU37X7E6Y2)
She paints signs for people, usually featuring newborn babies or pets, and she always has to print out a guide and trace it if her customers request a font for their name.

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!

[This compilation of postsecrets-- artistic postcards with secrets written on them-- that are all touching in their own way.] (http://www.amazon.com/PostSecret-Extraordinary-Confessions-Ordinary-Lives/dp/0060899190/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=I22JZDFLS686V8)
If you haven't heard of Postsecret yet, you should check it out [here] (http://www.postsecret.com/)

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!

I dunno!

7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)

I have two cats, but I got nothing for this one.

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it.

[This key from KeypersCove] (http://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Winter-Rose-Key-Necklace/dp/B00D3S4GVU/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376329005&sr=8-1&keywords=keypers+cove)
I had a similar one on my wishlist but it's out of stock now.

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?

[Cloud Atlas!] (http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Atlas/dp/B00CRWJ5GO/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1376329072&sr=8-4&keywords=clouds+atlas)
Terribly confusing unless you see the [trailer] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWnAqFyaQ5s) first, it's surprisingly appropriate for this sub.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.

[This climbing pick] (http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Pacific-Mountain-Axe-80cm/dp/B002J91R1G/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376330277&sr=8-2&keywords=climbing+pick)
Ever played Telltale's The Walking Dead? Well, one character had a climbing pick that they used pretty frequently to scale buildings and kill zombies..it opened my eyes to the possibilities and dual uses of items.

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals.

[This book] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Emotion-Thesaurus-Character-Expression/dp/1475004958/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) for my writing skills, I always have trouble finding just the right way to convey the proper emotion, plus I have severe social anxiety so it would help me figure out how to act in real life as well.

[Or this book by the famous Virginia Woolf] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Waves-Harvest-Book-ebook/dp/B004R1Q41C/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=IHP0D0N718720) just the type of writing style I'm aiming for.

[Or this book that I'm sure would help me with my technique.] (http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Tools-Essential-Strategies-Writer/dp/0316014990/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.

Hm?

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?

I used to have this on my list, but a [Geiger counter] (http://www.amazon.com/Radex-RD1503-RADEX-Radiation-Detector/dp/B00051E906/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376331004&sr=8-1&keywords=geiger+counter) because I'm paranoid about radiation and etc. Deleted it off my list because it's not useful for everyday life.

14.) Something bigger than a bread box. EDIT A bread box is typically similar in size to a microwave.

I got nothing on my list.

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.

[These socks] (http://www.amazon.com/Portal-Chells-Aperture-Science-Socks/dp/B008JGPSJU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=I2KUOG9B813AXT) because they're ultra thin and I'm sure they could be crumpled up that small.

16.) Something that smells wonderful.

I'd put something here, but there's nothing I'm sure of. [This book] (http://www.amazon.com/White-Fluffy-Clouds-Inspiration-Forward/dp/0974512001/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1KXQQYMQ3MHEJ&coliid=I16LKBYPI8BE5U) because it could smell like Brandon Boyd?

17.) A (SFW) toy.

I've got nothing!

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

[This shirt] (http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/rising-t-shirt/13087/) because I find it amazing, oh my god oh my god.

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.

[I've been trying to learn Irish for quite awhile now..] (http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Irish-Michael-OSiadhail/dp/0300121776/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376331377&sr=8-1&keywords=learn+irish)

20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.

[This poster, this poster!] (http://smbc.myshopify.com/products/dear-human-19x27-poster) To see what it's based on, the original comic is [here] (http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2223)

This is my happy. They crack me up and have me feeling all of the feels in the universe all in one day. I mean...I made them! It's crazy to think that, but it's true. Granted, I had help, but I had to carry them and put up with all the kicks, punches, horrible heartburn and them being nestled on my bladder for what seemed like forever. They are my whole world, my heart. They are the only ones who know what my heart sounds like from the inside. <3

You will die in those jackets. Literally.

Here's my winter setup.....

1. Jeep cap. Keeps the sun out of your eyes and it keeps you warm. You can get them at Ragstock for 5$
   
2. A pair of good winter gloves, and a pair of those cheap stretchy winter gloves. Wear the stretchy winter gloves underneath the thick winter gloves. A good tip on whether a pair of gloves are going to be warm, is if you hold a McDonald's cup of ice water tightly against them. If you can feel the cold cup, then they're no good. If you can't, then stay with them.
   
3. Your legs will get cold too, so buy a pair of base layer pants. Maybe double up. Wear them underneath your regular pants.
   
4. Get a good pair of snowpants to go over your regular pants. Again, McDonald's cup of ice water trick.
   
5. Get a base layer shirt to go underneath your regular shirt.
   
6. Get a good, thick jacket. Do the ice water thing for the jacket too. My personal favorite kind of jacket is an ice fishing jacket.
   
7. Ski goggles. Sounds weird, but your eyes will get cold too.
   
8. [A neoprene mask] (https://www.amazon.com/ZANheadgear-WNFM114H-Black-Neoprene-Half/dp/B000LVZVNE/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=neoprene+mask&qid=1573108443&sr=8-1) . They keep your face warm.
   
9. 2 good pairs of wool socks. Yes, 2. It gets that cold.
   
10. A thick pair of high top skateboard shoes, if you're going to avoid getting winter boots. High top Osiris shoes are good alternatives to winter boots. But you're going to have to get them waterproofed. They're naturally thick.
    
11. Ice cleats.

Hats as a concept aren't the issue, I don't think - it's that the available styles are not typically suitable to me.

Some hats have looked decent in the past, but I'm really hoping there's something unique and interesting out there. I found a couple interesting things on Amazon:

Galaxy bucket hat:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LFSEDW2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2XHJ56UY1G3J

Interesting 5-panel hat:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DD21SY4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6DRW77AL37L4

A hood with a face flap:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A7GNO5A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6DRW77AL37L4

A baseball cap with an Indiana Jones theme / metal logo:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N2BEKXW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3BCCGAYLWSGBK

These are all just variations on common pre-existing hat varieties, but that's something I'm not opposed to depending on how ridiculous yet awesome something happens to be overall.

In short: No, shut up, I'll find a damn hat and I'll burn all of yours while you revel in the glory of whatever headpiece I have chosen, you dissenting defeatist scum.

That pink one is adorable!

This one has the ties and has some good reviews, but not pink.

Here's a pink tie one, but it doesn't have any reviews. But it is Amazon, who are pretty good with refunds if isn't good quality.

(Now trying to resist buying that pink one since I have plenty of hats...)

1. My girlfriend is a wonderful artist. For my birthday last year, she drew this aztec style peice (im of mexican descent) and had it framed and everything. Even has a little love note in the bottom corner. She's the bomb.

3. Make me a cake

i love these blank hats... great colors and fit.

This is awesome of you to do!

OC Name: Bai Rangui (pronounced Bye Ran Gway)

A foreign arsonist active in Beijing, the other characters have to hunt the criminal Bai Rangui down. He is American, in his mid-twenties, Caucasian, and has shaggy, dark brown hair. He is clean-shaven, and has dark brown eyes that hold no warmth (despite his occupation). He often is seen wearing a black Mao suit, a black cap with a red star on it like this, and a face mask with a small filter on it (he wears such strange clothes is to hide his identity, and also throw cops off looking for a foreigner in a Mao suit while he can easily wear another shirt underneath, take the tunic and cap off, and look like a completely different person that the cops won't pay attention to). When not wearing the face mask, he has a crazy smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.

In case it isn't obvious, Bai Rangui is meant to be the main antagonist of the story, and the main characters have to work to bring him down.

Thanks again for the offer to do this, it's really nice of you to do!

Hi. I own two of these hats, they get the job done for the price but I'd like to find something that looks similar only with better quality. The two that I have the fake leather strap in the back is stretched, peeling, cracking, etc. Also the brass buckle has reacted with the leather causing the metal to turn a greenish color. Most of the decent hats I can find like Ebetts and Field seem like they are meant to be worn with a straighter bill. I still put a decent curve on my hats (like a true redneck). Any suggestions?

I collect hats and this one would be lovely. It's green AND it would never have to be recycled because I would never give it up. :)

Thanks for the Green Green Green contest!

A minimal baseball hat like this is probably best. Though if I were you, I would probably want to ditch the cargo shorts for some flat front linen shorts. From what you describe, you might end up looking like an "American guy going to South East Asia to find a wife" which is 100% not a good look.

Let me suggest the Tru-Spec Quick Dry hat. I have two of them and they're great. They have vent holes around the sides/back and are very lightweight.

I will say though, the first thing I do with patch caps is use a thread popper to take off the IR patch on the top, and the nametape on the back.

i hate to be lame with an amazon plug but I was looking for something similiar recently

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPY82U8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A68Z1W130KDPY

stylin and cheap. in the related items at the bottom theres some solid black ones for a decent price. plus, amazon. theyre pretty reliable

actually, only a $10 hat, haha.

What about something like this? it's just a plain hat. http://www.amazon.com/Wool-Blend-Prostyle-Snapback-Cap/dp/B007D370NW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1406738077&sr=8-9&keywords=snapback+hat

5panels as far as i know all have adjustable straps so its one size fits all

I made it myself, because I couldn't find a hat that I liked.
