Hi, just about to start my chemo with EC then Docetaxel, 8 rounds if I can tolerate it. I have very long, bright pink hair. I am having it cut short and considering the cold cap to keep some hair. But does it work? Is it worth it? Should I just rock the bald look (I reckon I could pull this off)? Then there is wigs?????

Would welcome opinions. Thanks x

  • It's a tough decision, but ultimately, it's about what makes you feel most comfortable during your chemo journey. If you're unsure, you could give the cold cap a try and see if it works for you. If not, rocking the bald look can be empowering, and you can always experiment with scarves and wigs for different styles. Personally, I didn't try the cold cap and embraced the bald look. It was liberating, and I rocked it with scarves when needed. Just wanted to share my experience. Sending you lots of strength and luck! Oh, by the way, I recently discovered these cool custom headbands that could be a fun accessory during your hair journey.

  • Hi As this was posted 2 months ago you may have made you decision.  I had the cold cap and never looked back.  Good luck with your treatment.

  • Bit late to the discussion but i have had weekly chemo x 9 taxel/carbo/pemb and my hair is still here its rather frizzy as I treat it like glass and no styling as such.  Completely personal as some find the cold too much aswell as everything else but I take a lovely hair conditioner with me and pretend its a salon treatment!! Hope you ate getting in well sending love to you
