This guide, developed by Over My Head Boutique, is a practical hair care resource designed for providers to share with patients undergoing Cold Cap Therapy to minimize chemotherapy-induced hair loss. It walks patients through caring for their hair before, during, and after treatment in order to protect fragile hair follicles and maximize the effectiveness of the cold capping process.
The guide provides specific recommendations for each stage of treatment, including tailored advice for patients with curly, frizzy, or coarser hair types. The detailed FAQ section adresses common patient questions and provides a brief explanation of why some shedding during treatment is normal and expected.
Providers are encouraged to share this guide with patients who are considering Cold Capping during their chemotherapy journey.
