When I deep condition my relaxed hair, I like to use some heating element that helps to open my hair cuticles more and allow the deep conditioner to really penetrate my hair strands. I sometimes use my hair steamer and could use my hooded dryer. The problem is that both need to be plugged into an outlet, so I'm stuck in one place. With this microwavable heating cap, there is no cord, so I can do whatever I want. This cap comes in several fun patterns. Tap to shop them on Etsy. relaxedhair ltkhair haircare hairproducts LTKBeauty
