Thermal Heat Caps – Pump Up the Volume!
Thermal heat caps are the perfect appliances for deep conditioning treatments on your hair. Regular caps just don’t compare to the conditioning power you get from using extra heat.
The benefits of utilizing extra heat are tremendous, if you love strong, luxurious locks. They are also very cost effective, as you’ll probably only need to buy heating caps once or twice in your lifetime. They hold up well and can be used over and over again, so they're very economical.
 Your scalp produces a great amount of heat all the time. Unfortunately, a large amount of heat escapes if you’re not wearing a hat or cap. The heat your scalp produces helps to stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce oils if they’re needed. Normally, a tremendous amount of heat gets lost, especially in the winter months or even in the summer if your A/C is up high. Wearing a regular shower-type cap help to keep the heat close to your hair, but when you apply artificial heat, it really speeds up the process and power’s up the product you’re using. The more heat, the more effective your conditioning treatments will be! When the weather is cold and dry to when it’s hot and humid, your hair is constantly exposed to many fluctuating weather conditions. These changing conditions can adversely affect your hair. Your hair, nails, and skin need almost twice as much moisture as your body. You simply can’t moisturize enough! Your hair is made of 100% keratin protein. To be considered healthy hair, you need to maintain it's protein for strength and manageability, but also it's moisture to be soft, smooth, and shiny. The heat from thermal heat caps helps open your hair follicles so the product you’re using can penetrate deep into the hair shaft. That’s what makes thermal heat caps so valuable. Conditioning Treatments to Use with Heat CapsProtein Treatments Protein treatments are used to help repair damaged hair by filling in the hair shaft. This gives your hair added strength and longevity. They are recommended for people with brittle dry hair that’s prone to breakage. Abuse or misuse of hot irons, medical conditions, environmental changes, heredity, and chemical processing (perms, relaxers, color, bleaching, highlights, etc.), all contribute to damaged hair. There are typically two types of protein treatments to choose from. One is a rinse out treatment and the other is a leave in treatment. Rinse out protein treatments should be applied to freshly washed towel dried hair and covered. These treatments work best if you leave them on for at least 30 to 60 minutes before rinsing. Unless previously instructed, follow the manufacturer’s directions of your specific treatment. Another way to use protein treatments is to apply them to dry, unwashed hair. Leave them in your hair all day, then rinse them out, followed by a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Leave-in treatments are applied to freshly washed and conditioned, towel dried hair. Apply leave in conditioners according to manufacturer directions and do not rinse. Protein treatments are only needed once a month. Recommended product is Hask Placenta Moisturizing Treatments Using heat appliances, chemical processes, and weather conditions remove moisture from your hair that needs to be replaced. If your hair feels dry or looks frizzy, you need to replace lost moisture. Deep moisturizing treatments can be applied from root to tip, but they are especially needed on hair ends. If moisturizers are applied from root to tip, follow treatment with a good conditioning shampoo. Moisturizing treatments can be done before or after shampooing. If you shampoo first, apply moisturizing conditioners to moist, damp hair. If you moisturize first, apply to dry, unwashed hair, then shampoo afterward with a conditioning shampoo. For very dry and damaged hair, a deep moisturizer should be used weekly. Also, if you use protein treatments often, you may need to deep condition with treatments that require hooded dryers or thermal heat caps. Moisturizing treatments are generally left on for approximately an hour, but most can safely be left on overnight or all day. Treatments for fine hair should be rinsed and followed by a shampoo. Thicker hair does not require shampooing after treatment. Moisturizing treatments can be used regularly in conjunction with protein treatments. Recommended products are Henna N Placenta With Olive Oil Alternating Treatments Determining the appropriate intervals for applying protein treatments will largely depend on the condition of your hair, as well as your regular hair care regimen. For damaged hair, protein treatments should be used at least twice a month. To keep your hair soft, moisturizing treatments should be used on alternating weeks or immediately following protein treatments, or in conjunction with them. Heat caps work well in all instances. Heat Caps and Hair ColorThere is one other time that heat caps come in very handy! If you’ve ever tried highlighting your hair or coloring your hair a lighter color like blonde, you know that darker colors can be very resistant and difficult to lift. Dark(er) colors can be very stubborn at times! Heat caps help to lift blonde colors up more efficiently and effectively. Having one around is like having your own personal professional dryer in your own home. Colors lift much faster and more efficiently when you have extra heat to help them. Anyone whose used one can provide testimony to that! Heat caps can give you the extra 'oomph' you need, when the going gets tough! In all, heat caps are a great home appliance to have around. They can really pump up the volume on deep conditioning treatments when you need it most! Protein Treatments with Moisturizers
