I am in
love with the hair therapy wrap. Prior to this product I was doing the
overnight conditioning method. In the past I have used a heating cap and a hard
hair dryer . Just thought I would do a review comparing these products and no
heat conditioning methods for the consummate shopper.
A hard hair dryer is a hair workhorse. It can be used
for deep conditioning, roller sets, hair drying, wraps and a myriad of other
healthy hair practices. This product is at the bedrock of hair care, and has
been since close to a century. The hard hair dryer is a tried and true hair product;
all other products are just a modification upon this mechanical design.
Pros
Ease of use
Gentle heat
for hair
Evenly
distributed heat
Adjustable
temperature
Timer
Cons
Bulky
Expensive
Tend to
break and need replacing often; if you find one from the 1970 or older they are
well made, but don’t have new perks.
Must stay
still
Heating Cap is just like a hard hair dryer
except it is a plastic cap. Although it can be used for the same things, there
are some differences that matter.
Pros
Ease of use
Gentle heat
for hair
Adjustable
temperature
Allows
natural movement of the head
Sturdy,
long lasting appliance
Cheap
Cons
Uneven heat
distribution
Can be too
small for some roller sets

Blow Dryer with Heating Cap
Attachment: This
device is economical if you already have a blow dryer, but it is uncomfortable
to try to hold it for a lengthy period of time. Consider it for vacations only,
where you want to do a quick treatment to avoid chlorine damage.
Hair Wrap: If you ever discover a love for deep
conditioning, henna, cassia, or hot oils, consider getting a hair wrap. Prior
to receiving one as a part of a goody bag, I had no idea what I was
missing. The device uses hot pack
technology placed into a terry cap to retain heat. It is very easy to use, I
can do chores while my hair is conditioning, I can take a nap and then wake up
and style. My hair has increased moisture when I use heat. This works better than an overnight deep conditioning with no heat.
Pros
Ease of use
Gentle heat
for hair
Allows one
to do chores
No
electricity required
Compact
Cheap
Cons
Conditioner
only
No timer
Warm only
In order to
wrap up my review, here is my opinion. If you can only have one appliance get
the hard hair dryer if you have the space and budget. If space is an issue get
the heating cap because it can still be used to style with. When you are ready
to add a conditioning heating element to your arsenal pick up a heat therapy
wrap. I do not recommend purchasing the
blow dryer heating attachment at this time.
I agree, I am loving my heat wrap that I have been using for about a month. I am consistant with my deep conditioners now.
