Swimming with Hair Loss: Reclaiming Your Joy in the Water

Whether you are navigating Alopecia, Chemotherapy, or thinning hair, we believe the water is a place for healing and freedom—not stress.

Understanding the Challenge

For many “Hair Loss Warriors,” the pool or beach can feel like a high-exposure environment. Traditional swim caps are often tight, clinical-looking, and can irritate a sensitive scalp. Many people choose to stay on the sidelines rather than deal with the discomfort of a slipping wig or the “medical” look of a standard cap.

Why specialized headwear matters:

From Alopecia Areata to chemotherapy-induced hair loss, the scalp becomes more sensitive to UV rays and pool chemicals. General hats often fail in the water because they float away or become heavy when wet. You need a solution that is designed for the water, but feels like a soft embrace.

The Four Pillars of a Perfect Swim Hat

Nammu was designed to provide a balance that I couldn’t find anywhere else. It’s not just about covering your head; it’s about how the hat makes you feel.

Stay-On Security

The adjustable tie-back ensures the hat stays perfectly in place during dives, waves, or wind. No more “floating away” moments.

All-Day Comfort

Made from soft, stretchy swimsuit fabric. No rubber pulling your skin and no painful pressure on your ears.

Personal Style

A bandana-style look that feels like a fashion choice. Choose colors and prints that reflect your personality, not your condition.

Scalp Protection

UPF 50+ fabric blocks 98% of UV rays. It protects your sensitive skin from the sun and acts as a barrier against harsh chlorine.

“I lost my hair to chemo and dreaded my family’s beach trip. Nammu changed everything. It stayed on while snorkeling, it looked like a cute bandana, and I didn’t feel like a ‘patient.’ I just felt like me.”

— Becky, Hair Loss Warrior

Versatile for Every Journey

Nammu hats are designed to be flexible. They can be worn comfortably over a swim-safe wig for added security, or directly on the scalp for a breathable, lightweight feel. They are perfect for:

  • Alopecia Community: Reliable coverage for active lifestyles.
  • Chemotherapy Patients: Soft, non-irritating fabric for sensitive skin.
  • Thinning Hair: A stylish way to add volume and protection.

You deserve to feel comfortable and confident in the water.
