Product Rating: 4 I love this bonnet
Reviewer: Brenda F. Cooper from New York, NY  Fri Mar 03 2006

I love this bonnet, it's compact, easily attached to my dryer and allowed me to be more comfortable. After spending years sitting under the hard style bonnet dryers and having a stiff neck from the 1 1/2 hours that is required for drying....I decided to take a chance of this item.

There is one thing that I dont get about the design of this product....."why are there holes on the top of it"? The first time i used my hair bonnet it dried in record time (50 minutes) but sadly the hair on the crown of my head did not dry. I decided to pin a bandana on the outside of the bonnet to cover the holes and now it dries all of my hair in 60 minutes. If the company that manufacturers this bonnet comes out with the same style bonnet but doesnt have the filter holes on the top please notify me so I can buy a few more.

Product Rating: 2 Did not meet expectations
Reviewer: Paige from FL  Tue Feb 28 2006

I read prior reviews and expected certainproblems such as my head getting hot. That happened somewhat. Overall, the bonnet did not fill up with air and my hair just did not dry. I ran it for about 1/2 hour and would give it a cold shot every now and then when it got too hot.

Product Rating: 2 OUCH!!!
Reviewer: Dawn from Boston, MA  Thu Feb 23 2006

Okay, I have a pretty tough scalp. My head has been there and done that. When I read other people's comments about the intense heat from this cap I thought they were just being "sensitive". Oh my goodness does this thing set your scalp on fire! I tried it on low and it was still too much. Maybe I'm growing soft in my old age? Anyway, this doesn't make it a "bad" product. I'm still going to use it. The price can't be beat. My one design complaint would be that the cap sends heat to the areas around your head but not on top. The rollers I set on the top of my head stayed damp and I had to manually hold the dryer to it. On a last note ordering from this website was fool-proof and very efficient.

Product Rating: 5 excellent product.
Reviewer: sullivan from Pa.  Sun Feb 12 2006

I find that the Bonnet dries my hair in 1/2 the time. It is easy to use and very effective.

Product Rating: 4 Definitely gets the job done
Reviewer: Mona   Wed Jan 18 2006

...however, be careful when purchasing a drier to attach to this. Get one that has a 'warm' setting otherwise you will burn your scalp! Also, do not pull the drawstring too tight. Allow for adequate airflow. All in all, I really like this product... cheap solution and so, so portable!!

Product Rating: 5 Awesome
Reviewer: Red from Los Angeles  Wed Jan 18 2006

Perfect!!!! All the way around! You guys ROCK!!!

Product Rating: 3 This was what I was looking for
Reviewer: Jennifer from Portland OR  Tue Nov 15 2005

I would have designed it differently but it works exactly the way it was intended. I would like to see this product with a longer hose [so I can lay the dryer down] and a hose that is made from more solid material; right now the hose leaks quite a bit of warm air making this less efficient.

Product Rating: 4 very good product
Reviewer: Delaine from Yellow Springs, OH  Tue Nov 15 2005

This is a very good product once you work out the kinks. The kinks are: (1) you need a dryer with separate heat and air settings or your head will melt, (2) you need a dryer with a skinny nozzle, (3) get a dryer without a flat air intake so you can lay the dryer on the vanity and your hands are free, you do have to make sure the tube isn't twisted, but this isn't hard. I put the arm on the side versus in the back, and (4) other reviewer was right, don't cynch the drawstring down or a deep crease will form. I am going to get a hair dryer for my car and see if I can save time in the mornings by using my hour long commute

Product Rating: 5 Great Product!
Reviewer: Christie   Fri Oct 28 2005

I love it, I bought this one after my more expensive one "died". This one is even better and you cant beat the price!

Product Rating: 5 2nd time around
Reviewer: Norma from Bakersfield, California  Tue Sep 27 2005

I have just purchased my second one, I completely wore the first one out. I have used this type of drying bonnet for over 15 years. You have to be careful and not kink the hose, I simply sit on the bed or the couch and prop my blow dryer up with one book while I read another book. When I wear this one out, I will buy another.

Product Rating: 5 Portable Hair Dryer
Reviewer: T from Md  Tue Sep 06 2005

I thought it worked great and it got to me in a timely manner. Also I was pleased because I had the wrong adddress and I wrote them and they sent it to the write address.

Product Rating: 5 compact, lightweight
Reviewer: serina from honolulu, hawaii  Tue Aug 02 2005

perfect for deep conditioning. i travel a lot so the handy folding unit is perfect.

Product Rating: 5 hair dryer bonnet
Reviewer: Jim   Mon Mar 21 2005

This product works great and at a bargain price. The $49.00 one does not work as well.If you need a bonnet hair dryer this one is THE BEST.

Product Rating: 2 OK but not great
Reviewer: DV from New Jersey  Wed Feb 16 2005

The bonnet does not fit on my common, small conair hair dryer. The bonnet's hose is too small. So I am unable to use it at all.

Product Rating: 1 misleading picture...
Reviewer: Tamara Mackenthun from Mtn Home, Idaho  Thu Jan 06 2005

If you use this like in the picture you'll short out your hairdryer. You can't kink the tube, and in order to not kink the tube you must stretch your arm out full length -- very uncomfortable! Additionally, the air inlet into the bonnet is placed so that only a very small part of your head actually gets hot air directed at it. I've tried to use this thing twice and have given up, it's easier and quicker to just use the dryer without this useless bonnet

Product Rating: 5 handy gadget
Reviewer: gretchen   Wed Dec 29 2004

This is great to use for a quick set for dry or almost dry hair. Be careful not to tighten the drawstring too much or you'll have a crevice in your forehead! I use it with metal-lined curlers and I think the effect is much better than with hot rollers - much more volume. The price is great and it rolls/folds easily so storage is simple. I'd highly recommend this product.

Product Rating: 1 overheating
Reviewer: hope cunningham from Arizona  Mon Dec 20 2004

Perhaps it was my dryer's time to go, perhaps not. The first time I attempted to use this product my dryer promptly overheated and never worked again.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Product
Reviewer: Trudy from Boston  Tue Sep 14 2004

This is the ULTIMATE travel product. It's worth every penny if you travel alot. It's worth every penny and it dries much faster than the hard top Daisy and bonnet hair dryers.
