Cold caps and hair care
for anyone that's used cold caps during chemo, what hair care routine did you follow? How often did you wash your hair, what shampoo? Did you just let it dry naturally? Any tips would be greatly appr...
Hi there. I had scalp cooling during my 6 chemo treatments. I had long curly hair before chemo commenced after my first treatment started losing my hair at the top part of my head as the cap didnt fit properly. At that point i cut my hair short to stop it from matting. So if you can imagine i looked like friar tuck!!. Hair grew back really quick though. I used organic shampoo and conditioner and was very gentle with it...no coloring hair drying or styling products. Agree with doll, make sure you go to the loo before you start as you will be hooked up for a while and if the chemo fluid doesnt make you want to go...the coldness will.
Good luck
