Hi ladies, just a message to say this time last year I was just starting my chemo journey. I cold-capped all the way through and am so pleased I did. I had thick hair and although it did thin out you would never have known. In fact people that saw me didnt even know I was having chemo. I got a wig just in case but it is still in its bag as I could never get it on over my hair anyway. I used Simple shampoo and conditioner, let my hair dry naturally and was very gentle with it. I took paracetemol just before my chemo session just in case and put the cold cap over dampened and conditioned hair. It meant so much to me to keep the bulk of my hair but it is a worrying time not knowing whether it is going to go or not so good luck. I just wanted to let you know that the cold cap does work and even if you get bald patches you can still use the cap but with a theatre cap under it to protect the bald bits.
