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 Angie, I have used the cold cap for both sessions of chemo and it is a strange sensation but I have kept my hair. I have very fine hair but a lot of it which feels greasy if not washed frequently, so I wash my hair every day, but keep the water as cool as possible. I did cut my hair to shoulder length because of the matting in the longer hair. I have noticed slightly more hair loss than I normally experience but nobody outside those I have told seem aware that I have breast cancer so I think the dignicap is working. My chemo nurse says everyone is different and if this experience has taught me anything it is that you do what is right for you.
