Cold Capping At Because We Care
Cold Capping – Helping Preserve Your Hair During Chemotherapy
Now Offering Cooling Gloves & Socks at Because We Care!
At Because We Care, we understand that chemotherapy can bring many challenges, including hair loss and uncomfortable side effects affecting your hands and feet.
That's why we're excited to offer cold cap rentals along with cooling gloves and socks, providing additional options to help you feel supported throughout your treatment journey.
Cold Capping – Helping Reduce Hair Loss
Cold capping, also known as scalp cooling, is designed to help reduce chemotherapy-related hair loss by cooling the scalp and narrowing blood vessels around the hair follicles.
For some women, cold capping can make a meaningful difference in how much hair they retain during treatment.
Protecting Your Hands & Feet Matters Too!
Did you know that certain chemotherapy medications can cause numbness, tingling, burning, and sensitivity in your fingers and toes?
This is known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, and it can affect everyday activities such as buttoning clothing, walking comfortably, or holding small objects.
That's where cooling gloves and socks come in!
These specially designed products provide targeted cooling to your hands and feet during chemotherapy.
Why Consider Cooling Gloves & Socks?
- Targeted Cooling: Designed to cool the fingers, hands, toes, and feet during treatment.
- Potential Nerve Protection: Early research suggests that cooling the hands and feet may help reduce the risk or severity of chemotherapy-related neuropathy with certain medications.
- Comfortable Design: Soft, flexible materials with removable gel packs and adjustable straps.
- Reusable & Convenient: Gel packs can be refrozen for repeated use, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- An Additional Option: Can be discussed with your oncology team as part of your treatment comfort plan.
Your hands and feet do so much for you every day. Taking steps to protect them during chemotherapy is worth discussing with your care team.
Cold Cap Rental Program
$469 per month + security deposit
We also offer a $300 credit toward a wig if cold capping isn't providing the results you hoped for. This credit is available until the end of your second round of chemotherapy.
We're Here for You
At Because We Care, we specialize in products and services designed to support women through breast surgery, chemotherapy, hair loss, and lymphedema.
From cold cap rentals and cooling gloves and socks to wigs, chemotherapy headwear, mastectomy bras, and breast prostheses, we're here to help you feel comfortable and confident.
Cooling therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and its effectiveness varies. Always consult your oncology team before using cooling caps, gloves, or socks.

Cold Cap Out Come
This is one of our lovely clients who started chemotherapy on September 11 and completed treatment in early January. This photo was taken when she returned her rental Cold Cap system.
As you can see, she has retained most of her hair throughout her journey while undergoing six rounds of chemotherapy. 💙
