Glow by Daye Deep Conditioning Thermal Cap - Cordless, Microwavable for Steaming, Hair Therapy, Portable, Reversible (Navy/Black)

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.

The media could not be loaded. lost all elasticity and now it just as a flat fabric stuffed with seed. Sad that it was premium product considering other cheap options. Money wasted.

I adore this little cap. I can use it anytime, it is the right temperature for just long enough to provide excellent results. I have dry, curly hair. It requires deep conditioning regularly. A heat cap is the best way to achieve that. With the electric heat cap, washing and conditioning my hair was such a chore. You’re stuck sitting and can’t do anything other than read or listen to headphones because your ears are covered. Now all I have to do is wait the 70 seconds it takes to warm this cap up. It’s a multitasker’s dream!As someone who’s used the electric heating cap for decades, I was reluctant to switch to this type of product. Having gone through two electric caps over the years, however, I didn’t want to invest any more money in a product that was becoming poorly made with each generation but was nevertheless becoming more expensive. This is a product that delivers far more than what you pay for!

I love this cap! I heat for 1 min, flip it inside out and heat an additional minute. When I first put it on, it's pretty hot, but not uncomfortable; however, you'll want to adjust how long you microwave based upon trial and error. It does not squeeze my head and I can walk around while my conditioner melts into my tresses. Would definitely recommend!

This heating cap is a suitable alternative to sitting under a dryer. Does it get super warm? A little bit, but doesn't hold the heat for long. What I did appreciate about this product was the portability it provided while deep conditioning my hair. I felt it stayed warm (mind you not hot), but lukewarm for about 15 minutes. I wanted a longer "heat" treatment so I did reheat the cap once it cooled down entirely, which occurred after about 20ish minutes. I liked how several plastic caps were included to use with the heat cap, so that was a plus, as there wasn't an additional purchase I needed to make to use the heat cap. Instructions were clear, simple and easy to follow. Basically, I definitely be using again, but I did knock one star since it didn't heat up a lot or maintain the heat for that long.
