** Because these headbands are handmade, pattern placement may differ slightly from the image featured. Our design is based on average size guides with a slight adjustment for shrinkage. As much as we'd like to, we cannot guarantee every headband to fit perfectly. We are all wonderfully different so if you'd like something more bespoke, please add a note at checkout or email directly to hello@definitelywild.co.uk **

How to care for me
Fabric hats and headbands
Patterned fabric
100% organic cotton knit made from ecologically grown cotton, printed with the environment in mind. The digital print process only prints to order using water based inks. The ink has been tested for harmful chemicals and found to be safe for infant use.
Plain fabric
95% organic cotton, 5% Elastane.
Both fabrics are certified Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS).
Mesh
100% polyester, technically designed for use as a lining for sports clothing. Yarn dyed, warp knitted construction Airtex tricot mesh. It has an excellent stretch quality and very comfortable against the skin.
Airtex mesh is available in 3 colours and an appropriate match will be selected. If you would like to request a specific colour, please leave a note at checkout.
Washing recommendations
Machine wash cool on a gentle/delicate setting, using phosphate-free detergent. Air drying is best but can be machine dried on a low temperature setting. Iron on the reverse side at a low temperature.
Minimal shrinkage may occur after first wash, which is normal for organic fabrics that haven’t been pre washed. Our products are designed to be true to size after first wash.
Non Slip Elastic Headbands
Silicone backed elastic
100% Polyester elastic, backed with a strip of clear silicone, providing an excellent, non-slip grip.
Flat Elastic
100% Polyester braided elastic with a rubber elastic core. With a braided construction, the thin, flat elastic is very strong, durable and stretchy.
Washing recommendations
Hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent. Air dry and do not iron. Be careful if drying on a radiator as it may get too hot and melt the silicone or elastic.
Turnaround
Our current turnaround time is 1-2 weeks.

FAQ's
Elastic Headbands
Q. How do you fit the Hearing aid and Cochlear Implant headbands?
Delivery

Please note that these delays are out of our control and we ask if you haven't received your order in the timescales stated, you wait an extra 5 days before contacting us to allow time for delayed delivery.
Q. Will I need to pay Duty on my items?
Definitely Wild is a UK based company. If you live in a country where duty is payable on goods sent from the UK, please be aware this is not included in the delivery costs or the cost of the items. These costs are payable by the purchasers. Unfortunately, this now includes the EU and Ireland.
Returns
Q. Can I return my items?
Of course. If you are not happy with your item, please contact us within 14 days of delivery and return the item within 30 days. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for bespoke items. If you have any questions regarding a possible return, please get in touch and we will see what we can do.
Hearing Devices
Q. Are you items also suitable for BAHA's?
We are currently working on a design that will be more suitable for the Bone Anchored Hearing Aids. Currently, the mesh design is only suitable for Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid wearers as it can still produce a certain amount of feedback when worn with a BAHA. Please get in touch if you want to know more about our proposed design and launch timescales.
Q. Can I order and item if I only wear a device on one side?
Absolutely!! Just provide a comment at checkout and we'll make sure the mesh panel/window is on the correct side of the hat or headband.
Q. How do Definitely Wild hats and headbands work?
Our hats and headbands are designed with comfort in mind. The mesh panels help sound to travel through the hat/headband without impacting sound quality but still keeping the head and ears warm.
Q. Will they stop my child removing their hearing devices?
As much as I would love to say our products are child proof, we cannot guarantee this to be the case. The mesh panels and windows will help keep those little fingers at bay and secure the hearing devices to the head but cannot beat the will power and ingenuity of the younger generation.
Q. How are Definitely Wild hats and headbands different to other solutions?
We know there are other solutions out there that can help keep devices safe and secure. At Definitely Wild, we wanted to make these solutions fun and trendy, whilst also being practical and fit for purpose. With our range of prints and organic fabrics, we want to make sure that children and adults can be proud of their hearing tech and also look stylish doing it.
We also wanted to offer products that siblings/non hearing device wearers would want to wear and could involve the whole family.
Washing
Q. How do I wash my items?
We are so happy to offer organic fabric in all our hats and headbands. This help reduce water consumption, pesticides and emissions.
This does mean our items require a little extra care when washed and ironed.
Organic cotton isn't treated with the same chemicals as normal cotton to stop it shrinking. Therefore, you may see between 4-6% shrinkage on first wash. This has been accommodated for in our patterns.
We recommend washing at 30 degrees and air drying. If you need to tumble dry, please do this on a cool setting as it may increase the amount the item shrinks.
For further information on looking after your items, please see our Care Guide
Custom Orders
Q. Can I make a custom/bespoke order?
We are very happy to accept custom/bespoke orders. We just ask that you contact us at hello@definitelywild.co.uk and accept that the processing time may increase a little to allow for discussions and extended sewing time.
Gift Wrapping
Q. Can you gift wrap items?
All our items are wrapped in tissue paper and sent in recyclable cardboard boxes. If you would like to send an item as a gift, please leave a note at checkout and we will send it will a gift card and option of a personalised message.
