Setup and use
- Apply a treatment only when that treatment's current directions permit heated processing, then cover all treated hair with a waterproof shower cap; Thermal Hair Care calls the shower-cap barrier essential.
- The maker's current how-to article says to microwave each side for about 45 seconds. Microwave output is not stated on the public instructions, so do not extend that cycle from this summary.
- Place the warmed Hot Head over the shower cap for the treatment's own allowed time. The maker says the cap commonly supplies heat for 20 to 45 minutes and can be reheated for a longer permitted treatment.
- After use, let the cap return to room temperature. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent; use a lint roller for surface lint.
What changes your choice
Use a separate waterproof shower cap between the hair treatment and the Hot Head.
The public maker pages do not state microwave wattage or a maximum total heating cycle; the package insert remains necessary before first use.
Do not pair it with a conditioner or mask whose maker does not permit heat.
