Your Questions, Answered:

What's the best sleep cap for a sensitive scalp?
A soft, seam light cap with a gentle stretch fit, like the Sapphire Merino. It stays on comfortably through the night without pulling or pressing on a tender scalp.

Is merino wool good for a sensitive scalp?
Yes. Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable and odour resistant, which makes the Sapphire Merino gentle on a sensitive or hairless scalp. It keeps you warm at night without the itch of coarser wool.

Do people wear nightcaps to sleep in during hair loss?
Yes, lots of women do. A nightcap like the Sapphire Merino keeps a bald head warm, soothes a sensitive scalp against the pillow and helps you feel less naked at night.

Is headwear subsidised in NZ?
Yes. Kaus is a Ministry of Health / Te Whatu Ora approved supplier, so if you qualify for the hair loss subsidy we can claim on your behalf. Easy as that.
