Titillating Turbans®. Titallating Turbans are created for cancer patients with tender loving care, to help them look as beautiful as we know they are. They will look elegant during any stage of your hair loss and regrowth. Even after breast cancer surgery, when it is difficult to lift their arms, they are quick and easy to wear. If the patient/client has a portacath beneath their collarbone, they will be happy to know that the “tails” of the band are long enough to cover it, so they can wear their scoop neck tops and stay cool!
