Cordless Deep Conditioning Thermal Heat Cap, Microwavable Heat Therapy for Hair, Portable, Reversible Candy Apple Red

This is the 3rd cap I’ve purchased in the last two years. All similar in cost. I had been using a great gel cap that lasted for years but is no longer available. So my first choice was to buy a new gel-filled cap. They must be using a different substance now b/c the gel compartments started exploding in the microwave almost immediately. Yuk. The manufacturer’s optional heating method was to warm in boiling water. Too much time and trouble. 2nd cap was electric, made of thick plastic and tied under the chin. Besides having to remain hooked near an outlet, the cap was oddly shaped and didn’t fit snugly on my head. Tying tighter choked me and it still didn’t fit properly. Also, neither cap got hot enough nor stayed hot. Will not get another one that uses gel or electricity. In all honesty I had basically given up on finding anything and had resorted to occasionally using a heated, moist towel wrap or conditioning at the hairdresser alongside a cut. But recently, a friend had told me about using flaxseed or rice as a filler for heating caps. Had also seen it on Pinterest. I was still skeptical but decided to try the Glow by Day Conditioning Cap. I cannot express how surprised and satisfied I am with my purchase: 1. the flaxseed-linseed filler heats quickly and evenly, 2. seeds are natural so no concerns about gel chemicals, 3. the cap is amply-sized, 4. It’s well-made with a strong elastic edge and quality fabric, 5. feels very comfortable, like a ski cap or hat, 6. you can move about the house and almost forget you’re wearing it, 7. It also looks good. You could probably even go out with it on and not raise eyes! There really are no cons except no plastic cap is included. But you can purchase inexpensive packages of disposable caps or get a thicker, washable one. I have very long, bleached hair and am 50+ so I need frequent hair conditioning to keep it looking good. I also have a large head lol so if you’re small-headed with short, cropped hair, the cap may not fit as well. I’ve used it twice now with my regular post-shampoo conditioner and only for 15 minutes b/c I’ve been in a rush. My blond hair has come out truly shiny, smooth, no split ends and easy to style. Can’t imagine it being any better with a deeper conditioning product and capped for 30+ minutes. A 100% winner.

I had this for no more than one month before it exploded in my microwave.

I am a male with long luscious curly beautiful hair that i have been growing for years but the cap does not stay heated after 15 minutes you have to reheat it idk but i like it hot not warm to deep condition my hair, I do like the fabric and I like how it does NOT! move on my head, heats up very quickly but like I said it doesn't stay heated after 15 minutes i need it hot for at least 30 minutes but it's not a hassle of just put it back in the microwave.

Works better then my hard shell gel heat cap. Get to a comfortable temperature...hot enough for me to feel the heat without the burn like a gel cap. This definitely retained heat better then the gel cap (10min on the gel cap SERIOUSLY) who only conditions for 10min? I can get at least 20 to 30 min out of this. Had to adjust the temperature to get a full 30. I at least heat twice during deep conditioning so I can have 1hr of heated deep conditioning. It's smells great the aroma of the flaxseed is soothing to me and it comfortable to wear and I have a big head. However it is pricey and it's not the hot head thermal care as I originally thought. Same concept so I didnt bother to fact check. I saw a picture and it look like the product. While I've never used the hot head one it has gotten amazing reviews and its 30 bucks. So if your looks for the same cap cheaper I say try that 1st. I'm buying a hot head next you can't have too many heat caps.

So after reading all the reviews here, I purchased this cap and I'm glad I did. It's a little tight on, but not terribly uncomfortable as some have stated (and I have a big head - my hats are all large). It has to be a little tight because it's slightly heavy due to whatever is inside and if it's nottight it'll slip off. I put it in for 30sec and it wasn't warm enough, so next time I microwaved it for 1m and it was perfect. Heat lasted about 40m.

Purchased in September 10 2018 lasted until February 24 2019. Not sure why it ripped inside but I just started seeing seeds everywhere then ... realized it’s coming from the heat cap which ripped inside .. it just tore away I guess not sure if I used it too much because I use it weekly and reheat 2-3 times for heated treatments but it’s over and I kinda feel bad because it wasn’t cheap

Perfect for my 5 year old. But too small for my head. Needs to be bigger.

Feels soooooo good but doesn’t last a full 30 min. I just popped it back in the microwave and put it on longer. You need to wear a shower cap underneath.
