Penguin Cold Caps is an Amazing Product

All the American representatives are themselves cancer survivors and are very sympathetic to their patients. If the Cold Cap user follows all the protocols for hair care and correct use of the caps, they will keep the majority of their hair. There will be some shedding and that is disclosed by both the representatives and the Penguin website.
There is never a guarantee that you will keep 100% of your hair, but only your very closest friends will even notice the shedding. I personally know several women who have used the caps correctly and are extremely happy with the results. Many oncologists in my part of America now routinely recommend them for their patients.

Penguin Cold Caps - certainly not misrepresentation!

She was warned in advance that although the success rate is 90%, she might be one of the ones it doesn't work for, and she had to be so careful to keep the caps on for the correct time afterwards or she would lose the hair. It certainly wasn't prohitively expensive either, I think she paid about $500 a month, but as it was a UK company, the exact amount did fluctuate a bit depending on the exchange rate was for GBP at the time.
Tricia, who was the rep who looked after her was fantastic and couldn't have been more caring or supportive and my sister has nothing but good things to say about Penguin to anyone who cares to listen!

The Truth About Penguin Cold Caps

Of course we can not possibly guarantee that everyone will save their hair and we can not guarantee that. It also says that we can not guarantee you will not lose your hair in our disclaimer that is read by all who order the caps.
But we do have 90% Success Rate. Success meaning that you do not need a wig. The hair will shed strands and you could lose 10% - 25% on average and some people may shed more or less of their hair depending on different factors of each individual.
Most people who do cold cap therapy during chemo and use the penguin cold caps will thin a little and will be able to tell that their hair has thinned, but the great thing is that no one else can!! It is not noticeable by others and you do not need to wear a wig. That is success!!
Different chemo regimens may cause different amounts of thinning. This is discussed at the time you order. We offer referrals of past users and also forums that clients can talk to other penguin cold cap user's. There are many things that are also factored in to determine the outcome of success. Most of all it is important to follow the recommendations and instructions we provide.
We do have a money back guarantee IF after the first chemo they lose their hair within 21 days and return the caps after their first treatment then MSC will refund the cost of the caps 100%. Most people will lose their hair within 14 -21 days after the first chemo treatment.
So if you lose your hair after your first chemo and return the caps you will get your money back. So far I have had no one send the caps back after the first treatment!
If you keep the caps then you will be charged every 30 days until the caps are returned. The company is based in the UK and the payment is taken in the same amount every month. 350.00 (approx $500.00)
The amount can change because the currency exchange rate may change. That is why we tell the client it is an approximate amount and to ask their bank what the currency exchange rate is. We also go over the charges with the client and ask them to call their bank because it is an international transaction so we have to tell them the exact amount.
All of this information is on our website and information that is emailed to every client. Also discussed with them with a representative at the time of ordering due to every chemo regimen is a little different and result may vary.
There is no fraud here at all! Unfortunately we do deal with clients who are upset, scared and stressed and maybe they just misunderstood the representative.
Ask the thousands of women who are happy not to be bald after chemo and can continue on with their normal life!
Thank You,
Penguin Cold Caps Past User and Representative
