Dear looeeze,
A good fitting cap is important. Even though I always had the same, best size for me. Sometimes an air bubble would be on top of my head under the cap. You could tell because if if you pushed down you could hear a noise of air coming out.
They had extra straps that I sometimes used when in doubt of the fit. That went over the top of my head around and under my chin.
Wet hair is very important, I found out during my 20 week Chemo duration that curly hair should be really wet.
My nurses never suggested conditioner and I never used it. I suppose it couldn't hurt.
If you want to talk on the phone send me a private message.
