I had a #8 clip. Prior to chemo, both times, I had waist length hair. Normal day to day shedding was enough to clog the most robust of vacuum cleaner nozzles. Just the though of great chunks of it everywhere while it all came out at once was too much. Bald isnt the end of ths world, once you get used to it.
The results for cold caps seem to vary wildly. There is only one way to find out if it will work for you. It seriously increases the amount of time you spend in treatment which doesn't suit everyone but nothing ventured nothing gained.
The thing you don't get told is how physically painful losing your hair to chemo can be. Mine felt like it was being pulled out by the roots. Much muttering while I learned to navigate the back of my noggin with a disposable razor and it was all good. The first bald shower is a life changing experience. Wow!
