XL Hot Head™ Microwavable Deep Conditioning Heat Cap
The XL Hot Head™ is our most spacious heat cap — ideal for extra-long or thick hair, locs, braids, or anyone who needs more room for their deep-conditioning ritual.
Circumference: ~21" starting • ~44" fully stretched
It delivers gentle, consistent heat that helps treatments absorb more deeply, leaving hair softer, smoother, and richly hydrated. The XL also doubles as a heat source for setting rollers without damaging tools — simply allow hair to cool fully before removing rollers to lock in curls.
The Chic XL Hot Head™ blends modern elegance with a hint of bold flair. One side features sleek black terry cloth, while the reverse showcases a stylish leopard print — offering a sophisticated or wild touch to your self-care ritual, depending on your mood.

Reversible & reusable
Comfortable, cord-free design
Holds heat for 30–45 minutes
Works for all hair types & textures
Easy to use — salon-quality results at home
30-day money-back guarantee

Hot Head™ boosts the effectiveness of any conditioner, mask, or oil by gently opening the hair cuticle, allowing treatments to penetrate deeply rather than stay on the surface. The result is softer, stronger, beautifully nourished hair from the inside out.
Shower caps are essential when using Hot Head! Save yourself a trip to the beauty supply store and add on a 10-pack of disposable shower caps. Or better yet, check out our eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic shower caps below!

I love this cap!! I followed the advice of another reviewer and purchased the XL cap so that I could keep the clips in my hair while I deep condition. It's worth the purchase! Britt on Mar 25th 2021
I originally ordered the set with the large thermal hothead, shower caps and essential spray but that size was too small but still got the job done.
However I ordered the XL and loved it even more! We’ll definitely recommend this product to my friends and neighbors Unknown on Jan 19th 2021
My hair has never been so moisturized! This Thermal Cap gave me the best definition I've ever had!
It normally takes me 3 hours to retain moisture in my low porosity hair no matter what I use, this cut my finger coiling down to 1½ hrs!
Best thing ever! Felicia on May 28th 2020
Bought the XL so I can keep my hair clips in while I deep condition. Fits perfect. Best investment ever. Unknown on May 28th 2020
The size of the hot head cap (XL) adequately fit over my natural 4C medium size afro. Heating it in the microwave was very easy. Instructions were included in the packaging. I also purchased 10 disposable shower caps, that I used to cover my deep conditioned fro before adding the hot head cap. It stayed warm for about 30 minutes- plenty of time for my deep conditioner to do its work. And the hot head cap is easier to store than a bulky hooded hair dryer, and works just as well. Shipping was fast. No bulking packaging. Im very happy with my order. I highly recommend and will definitely purchase from Thermal Hair Care again. Ngea on May 7th 2020
They should let us know that you don't need to buy XL unless you hair is long and thick ... Nicky on Apr 21st 2020
I used it today for the first time and I just love it. It stays hot for quite some time. Love the freedom of being able to move around and do whatever you need to do while you’re deep conditioning your hair. Would definitely recommend this product Linda Young on Mar 13th 2020
I purchased the Chick XL Hot Head on a whim and am so glad I did! The shipment arrived very quickly and the instructions were simple enough. I was able to deep condition my hair without being tied down by a cord. Des on Mar 9th 2020
Rarely do I post reviews. Ok, I have a big head because there's no way the XL would fit me with rollers or flex rods. That was not the main reason for this purchase. I'm not sure what type of hair I have, maybe 4C dry and coilly. This cap... This cap is amazing. After the first use, my hair is so soft and hydrated. I am by no means a hair guru. I do know when a product works and I AM IN LOVE! A weekly affair has begun. Hair Happy on Feb 11th 2020
I have had a hothead for over 2 years and I had to come back for not 1 but 3 more. I got myself another one and one for my daughters. It's the only thing I've used to deep condition and will remain the only thing I use. It's like once you try it you won't want to use anything else. I am so pleased and content. Money well spent. Thank you for such a great product. Wendy on Nov 27th 2019
