Hi there, sending strength to you. I hope I am allowed to post a You Tube link on here but I found this after I started cold cap and it’s a mine of useful information including interviews with the PaxMan founder. I had only had one round with the cold cap (taxol plus carbo) because the paclitaxel caused a severe reaction.  I am now only on carboplatin which does not require cold cap apparently. Happy to share my experience if it helps. I am going to be quite unusual in that I had masses of thick long healthy hair, used a cold cap once and am now 6+1 on from my last taxol so just at the point where it may be stopping shedding. I can definitely recommend some hair wash strategies if you cold cap and have thick hair. I’ve personally much more than expected and the average but my body has reacted really strongly to the Chemo. I don’t regret it because capping was bearable, having some hair has given me options (could still buzz it if I wanted) and there is some evidence to say that capping helps with stronger and quicker regrowth. That is tbc in my case.  As we go into autumn hats have been my friend, so the time of year may be a decider in what you do. Best wishes,
