Cold cap size

I'm under going 4 rounds of AC and have used the cold cap medium size 

First round didn't lose any hair and had a hair cut in between rounds and lost allot of hair from my crown in the second round. 

I'm wanted some advise on whether I should go to the small size as does the firmness of the fit impact success?

  • Hi Bear1​, The firmer the cap fits the better the result. Plenty of water on to assist freezing process and a small layer of conditioner as well to help get the cap off at the end. I have been cold capping for 18 months and had 4 different chemo drugs and i found talking this approach best for me.

      Thanks for replying, the small cap was tight managed to wear it for half the treatment time and revert to medium for second half. Have lost some hair but minimal compared to second treatment.
