I put the ice cap on one hour before the chemo began and left it on roughly an hour afterwards. I had 5 caps and swapped to a new one every hour. All I can say is that it worked for me 100%. The lady who recommended it to me lost about 20% of her hair but i don't know if she put them on before and afterwards as well. Also, my husband was there for the swap over which was good as it meant my head did not get time to warm up!
Thanks for the other info. I will check it out.
