Sure. For me, it wasn't terrible. Yes, it was cold but not painful. I never got a headache or had extreme discomfort. I would just get out my book or my tablet to watch a show and forget about it. And then, for sure, after 10-15 minutes, your scalp is numb so there's no feeling at all.

I will say you have to follow the directions. I only washed my hair once a week, I only used wide-tooth combs, and I was very careful with my hair. I did everything that was suggested to me and had good results. Here I am about six weeks after chemo was done. I felt good enough to go to an outdoor festival. My hair is a little thinner due to the loss, but no one would ever know. Now, the hair has grown back in, and I actually think I have thicker hair than before.

Not awful. Uncomfortable but bearable.
