'Milestone' technique could help cancer patients keep hair during chemotherapy

Researchers say they have found a "powerful double weapon" that could help cancer patients keep their hair during chemotherapy. The new method combines scalp cooling - where patients use cold caps to reduce hair loss from cancer drugs - with a lotion, comprised of antioxidants - some of which are found in red grapes. Hailed as a "milestone," researchers at Sheffield Hallam University also pinpointed the optimal temperature for scalp cooling to be most effective for keeping hair.
