About Deresina Headwear
Comfortable, well-made headwear for people living with hair loss. London-based since 2014.
Deresina Headwear was founded in London in 2014 by two sisters, after working closely with people going through hair loss and seeing the same problem again and again: the options were wigs or ordinary hats, and neither really worked.
Wigs are not for everyone, and they are not something most people want to wear at home, in bed, or on an ordinary Tuesday. Ordinary hats are designed to grip hair — without it, they slide, they rub, and the seams that nobody notices on a full head of hair become impossible to ignore on a bare scalp.
So we set out to make the thing that was missing: headwear designed from the scalp outwards, for people who need it every day.
What we make
Twelve years on, our collection covers most of what a day asks for.
- Caps and bandanas — soft bamboo and cotton for everyday wear, cut to sit securely without gripping.
- Head scarves — for days you want to style something yourself, in a range of sizes and patterns.
- Sleep caps — lighter and looser, made for the night. Your head loses heat quickly without hair, and a good sleep cap makes a real difference to how well you rest.
- Headwear for men and for children — because hair loss is not only a women's experience, and the fit and styling need to be different.
- Care accessories — the practical extras that make the rest work better.
Most of our range is designed to fit a wide range of head sizes, with adjustable and elasticated styles where a closer fit matters. Our size guide walks you through measuring if you are unsure.
How we make it
Everything starts with the fabric, because a scalp without hair is far more sensitive than most people expect. Sun, wind, cold, and rough seams all register in a way they never did before.
We work mainly in bamboo and cotton — breathable, moisture-wicking, and genuinely soft rather than soft-in-the-shop-and-scratchy-by-lunchtime. Our core bamboo and cotton fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they have been independently tested for harmful substances and passed as safe for direct contact with sensitive skin.
We pay close attention to the details that only matter when you are wearing something all day: where the seams fall, how the band sits, whether it stays put when you bend down. You can read more about each fabric and how to care for it on our materials and care page.
Buy2Donate
For every purchase, we contribute headwear to people who need it and cannot easily afford it. It is a small thing, but it means every order does a little more than it looks like it does. You can read how it works on our Buy2Donate page.
Who we are today
We are a UK registered company, based in London, shipping to customers across the UK, Europe, and beyond. We have been doing this for over a decade, and a good proportion of our orders now come from people who were recommended to us by someone they know.
If you would like the detail on our certifications, registrations, and compliance standards, it is all set out on our certifications and compliance page.
We are a small team and we read our own emails. If you are not sure what to order, or you are buying for someone else and worried about getting it wrong, ask us — it is genuinely the part of the job we like most.
