Do cold caps work

Hi so I'm waiting to start my chemotherapy and I've been offered to use the cold cap I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with it and does it actually work? 

  • Hello Amara88,

    Thank you for posting.

    After reading your query I had a look around the forum and found this thread www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../does-cold-cap-hair-shedding-ever-stop [@SJ23]‍ posted earlier this week about their cold cap experience and thought this might help?

    If no one else replies to your message here, feel free to join the conversation in other threads, as you probably already know everyone here is very friendly and I'm sure they'd be happy to chat about their cold cap experiences with you.

    Also, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they'd be happy to talk things over with you Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone at 0808 800 4040.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes,

  • Hi I used the cold cap, it worked enough that I didn't look like I had cancer and was left with enough that people didn't know.. I did lose around 40 percent and did shed but I found that it grew back really quick and just like my old hair. Check out the Paxman website
