Hello, I am 45 and found out recently I have breast cancer and I am currently waiting for my treatment to begin. I am going to give cold capping a go, as feeling like 'me' is so important to my overall wellbeing.

I have mid length straight, thick hair. I am wondering whether anyone else has experience with cold capping and whether I should cut it shorter, above my shoulders, before I start chemo, if this would have better results? I am worried my thick hair will pull more if it is longer.

Also, what is best to do at night to minimise hair loss? Going to try a silk pillocase but is it better to cover the hair with a soft hat or have it loose?

Thank you xx
