First EC just done with cold capping- frozen/chemo brain may or may not have been told when to wash out conditioner. grateful for any advice. I’m pretty certain this has already been discussed but Im in no fit state to search
Hi, I wait at least 3 days before washing my hair. I read somewhere that it’s best not to do it straight away. It looks awful for a few days but I normally just wear a hat if I go out. I am due to have my last session on Tuesday and have quite a lot of hair left. I also only wash it once a week, don’t use an hair dryer or straighteners and don’t tie it up to try and give my hair the best chance.
