One need that’s gone largely overlooked for frontline doctors and nurses? Protective headbands.
by the ER nurse Sydni Lane—her face bearing the marks of 13 hours of wearing an N95 mask; a headband covering the crown of her head—a lightbulb went off: “I had been trying to figure out how to support these [medical workers] at hospitals. Then I saw this photo and was like,,” recalls Berkley, whose designs include a headband made out of the same Supplex fabric as her leggings and sports bras.
It’s a matter individuals can take into their own hands, too: Dr. Miyakawa recommends people reach out to local community hospitals, which are often not as well-equipped as larger branches, to donate batches of bands, while Dr. Kass encourages those who have friends on the front line to make headbands that can be handed out at health-care centers. “Watching people be creative with masks has been really inspiring.
And while both Dr. Kass and Dr. Miyakawa emphasize that face masks are still the number one priority, headbands are nevertheless a growing need. “Thinking about hair [sounds] frivolous, but if we’re going to [be in this situation] for months, we need to figure out how to,” Dr. Kass adds, pointing out that it’s not just a concern for those who find themselves inside hospitals. “Maybe it means we should all have our hair [pulled back] when we walk around.
