Hi Yango, it’s definitely worth trying. It’s a little uncomfortable but bearable for the first 10 minutes. Then you don’t really notice it for the rest of the treatment. I’ve only had two sessions with it so far. The second time it didn’t feel like it fitted as well for some reason. I’ve thinned a little on top but not bad & I do have very fine hair anyway.

After chatting to her, I think the secret may be using a size smaller in the outer cap that holds the cold cap in place. I’m in between sizes so they have used the larger size for both caps. I’m going to have a chat with them before my next session & see what they think.
