Cold Cap advise?

Hi

i had long curly hair and used cold cap for the first two EC chemo.  I didn’t need to cut my hair. I took my own conditioner with me. I coped with it and actually found it distracted me from the chemo itself.  I started losing a lot of my hair after second chemo and didn’t use cold cap for the third cycle. 

I had a nice hair cut now and I am happy with it. 

I hope this helps.

Just to add to previous response which I agree with. Thick hair is good as you will probably lose some. I lost about a third to a half but never needed a wig.. I took 2 paracetamol before each session. I only washed my hair once or sometimes twice in the 3 week cycle and I used a very wide toothed wood comb. It does take longer but I think worth it. Oh and make sure the cap is pulled down tight to your skull. I also used either baby shampoo or Grow Me.

BTW use dark nail varnish on both hands and feet. I didn't know to and ended up with fungal infections and ingrowing toe nails. Also keep an eye on your feet and report any tingling to your chemo nurses. I have slight neuropathy in my feet.(4 years on), Good luck
