Hi. I had cold cap last year for 4 chemo sessions. Before using it I had 2 sessions of a different chemo drug where I wasn't allowed cold cap so feared my hair follicles might have weakened but gave the cold cap a go anyway. I only washed my hair once a week as advised and used a sulphate free shampoo. Also tried to be very gentle with my hair..no fast manic brushing etc. I also smothered my hair in a sulphate free conditioner before having the cap on. I did find it very painful along the edges of the cap especially ...the first time was the worst. I lost some hair but no patches and haven't had to wear my wig at all. Am amazed it worked so well. Good luck with whatever you choose to do. X
