Hi everyone,
I’m struggling to decide whether to have the cold cap or not for my treatment.
Im 40, have long hair, have worked hard for my long locks and at the beginning the thought of losing them was terrifying however as time has passed, there’s a part of me that weirdly does not mind losing my hair and starting afresh...
Any thoughts please?
Hi Rexsie & Haysie,
i had mine cut really close to my head rather than shaving it and I kept a sort of thin fluffy ness throughout so never felt it looked as severe as fully shaving but I’m sure everyone is different.
Good luck ladies, stay strong xx
Thank you so much for your lovely words. I’ve sent you a friend request, if you can accept then I can share a link with you that might help x
