Heat Caps are a waste of $$$$$$$$$$$$$




I had mine for less than 4 months! The cord in the back of the cap has rubbed so thin that the electric wires are showing! It is irritating to use now. I get tiny electric shocks on the back of my neck when it is plugged in. I literally have to hold the cord up and away from my neck when trying to give myself a deep conditioning treatment!

Next stop: Steamer.

Take a look at the cord:

Hair Mayonnaise & Nioxin



It smells like a cheap fragrance! I will not be purchasing this product again. Besides, it does nothing for my hair.





It has that tingle effect that feels great on your scalp. It left my scalp with a "clean" feeling. System 1 by Nioxin is in the runnings to become a part of my permanent regimen. Quite a staple product...maybe. A few more tries and I will know for sure.

Oh! I HAVE to add that it made my hair SUPER soft at over 2 months post! Yep, definitely in the runnings.
