I had my first chemotherapy session yesterday with cold cap treatment, following a breast cancer diagnosis in January and a mastectomy in March.
Are there any tips for trying to keep my hair during the cold cap therapy, as I feel like everything has been quite vague so far. I have yet to wash out the conditioner as I’ve heard a mixture of keeping it in for 24 - 48 hours. Some say to wash with cold water, others say it doesn’t make a difference.
I’ve recently turned 36 and would like to keep things as “normal” as possible during this whirlwind of a process, as I’m sure everyone else does too! So if there’s anything in particular that’s worked well for anybody, please send your advice my way! It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ChickenWine
I hope that your chemo went ok yesterday.
I have put a link above with advice around scalp cooling. It is my own experience so if you have any other questions, please do ask.
