ABOUT US...

My name is Tyler Kjar and I have been making TOPSY TURBAN headwear and coverups for 15 years. Joan, my wife and I called it the TURBAN WITH A PRAYER. When Joan was diagnosed with breast cancer and lost her hair, I designed the original pattern, she selected the fabric, placed it on her head and felt good about herself. “Where did you get that hat?” lead us to make another and another. Joan braided each and every one and prayed that the person who wore it would be healed and live. Fifteen years later, TOPSY TURBAN is still making people happy.

Once you enter the world of Cancer and learn to speak its language, a new world forms, we become ANGELS of sorts. We become fighters, poets, philosophers and begin to have a wider scope of life - its meaning, its hope, its pathos, and, suprisingly, its humor. Joan asked me to hand her the shampoo from the bottom of the shower, then said “Forget it, there’s more hair down there than on my head. Things change, but life goes on, and a positive attitude and feeling comfortable about oneself makes it easier to move on with your life. I send my best wishes to all who wear my Topsy Turbans.
