What is Cold Capping?

The goal of cold capping is to use an extremely cold temperature to constrict the blood vessels in your scalp. Doing this can keep the chemotherapy drug away from the hair follicle, where your hair grows, during chemotherapy infusions to prevent harm to the follicles and in turn, reduce hair loss.
