Does this cap heat the top of the head at all? I am going to use it for my henna hair coloring.

Yes it heats the top very well. Though I don't use it for hair coloring,just deep conditioning. Heat the gel packs at least 1 minute. Each

Yes the cap has 3 gel packs. 2 in the side an 1 on top. I put the wrap in the microwave. It is a steam technology that heats the hair and gives it the conditioning it needs. I believe henna treatments need a stronger heat source such as a hair dryer.

I have used this device for many months and have very short hair. I have never had it burn my scalp. While the hot air is hot indeed, there are lower settings that can be adjusted. This is the only Hot Air brush that I have used that I didn't burn my scalp or my fingers. I like it and besides, the barrels are so easy to clean. Hope this helps.

Yes, the tip is very hot and is designed in an odd way. It should be longer so you can hold it, but also it should be a COOL tip not a hot one. I wish I wouldn't have bought this product. It was bigger in dimension than I originally thought -- which is my own fault -- but I'm not in love with the thing. I burned my forehead a good one with it! Arrgh.

No, your hair should be wet and the cp will heat up. Personally I do not recommend this cap. It does not heat well.

I didn't really use it once I found out that it would not grab my hair, so I am not sure. But I don't think it heated. My goal was only to have a brush that turned by itself. If I could find one that both heats and turns I'd be overjoyed, but I don't think it exists. If anyone out there finds one, please holler.

No it does not.. It absorbs light and converts it to heat and that is what kills the hair.. The darker the hair the more light it absorbs.

I like this one too. It curls fabulously well. My hair usually curls and then straightens before I ever get to work, but with this one, it gets soooo hot that the curl holds...and you don't need very long hair to go around the barrel. HOwever....it is so hot you will need to set the temp down a little and not use it on hi, AND, like was said before, you CANNOT put it down on your scalp or touch it with your fingers, bc it is soooo hot.

no, hair still gets wet but stays out of your face. This does not pull or pinch like other caps I have tried.

I didn't use any with mine, because I believe it works more like a stain. It came out the brightest, vibrant purple and I loved it. My entire head was purple.

I haven't had that happen, but I don't sweat a lot on my face/head. I primarily just spray it on my roots a couple of weeks before I get my hair colored. I love it. I think once it dries, it's pretty set.

This product is like having your own personal hair dyer at home instead of going and sitting under the one at the salon. The method is for deep treatment for your hair such as deep condition where you sit for about 10 mins or more for the product to infuse your hair. Therefore no water is needed...you just sit back and let the cap do its thing, well that's the purpose for the cap. However, item doesn't heat very well thus a true waste of money. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, it is horrible and heating elements well it just plain sucks.....

I don't know the exact temperature, but I'll tell you that the highest setting can get very hot. It may almost feel like it's burning your ears. I say ears because I of course wear my hair in a plastic cap under this, and it can basically shield your skin from the direct heat and allow your hair to get the direct heat. The plastic cap can also help protect your ears, though there are also plastic ear caps on amazon that you can use to really make sure your ears are protected from the heat. Hope this helps!

Yes. It is a powerful unit with adjustable settings. I highly recommend for home use and please notice the other responses regarding how any head worn plastic cap flows upwards when the unit is in use. Just be innovative and make any needed adjustments to keep the cap in place.

Yes like any other hair dryer, the heat will burn your scalp if you turn it on high and hold it on your scalp area for an extended period of time.

Yes it does, zap the volume from your hair. Henna is protein so it straightens your hair over time and over use, you will loose the curl. No way to get around that unless you just do your roots. Its the by product of healthy hair but... at least you won't be sporting the fraggle rock fro... I have curly hair and it has tamed it quite a bit no more fly aways for me.

No, and you wouldn't want it to! My hair is to my shoulders and layered. I roll my hair up on the barrel and turn the heat to high, then to cool and the style is set. I've used the ones that spin and I've never been able to use them without getting my hair all tangled up.

All it does is heat up and curl...NO hot air....FYI...it burns my fingers and if u roll it close to your head it will burn yourhead. I have looked everywhere for a 1" curling brush having no luck...even contacted Conair. Hope this helps
