Does cold capping guarantee that I will keep my hair during chemotherapy?Updated 3 hours ago
No.
Cold capping cannot guarantee hair retention during chemotherapy.
Results vary considerably between patients and treatment regimens. Some people retain a significant amount of hair, while others may still experience substantial hair loss despite scalp cooling.
Results can be influenced by:
Chemotherapy drugs
Dosage
Treatment frequency
Infusion duration
Scalp temperature
Cap fit and contact
Individual response
Your oncology team can help you understand whether scalp cooling is appropriate for your particular treatment and what results may realistically be expected.
