Headache Hat Halo - Migraine Relief Cap Long Lasting Cooling Ice Pack Mask - Cold Compress Head Wrap for Tension, Stress & Hangover Natural Cooling Therapy

5+ stars from a gal dealing with painful, hereditary, chronic migraines the past 20 years that worsened. Save yourself the time, stop researching like I did and just buy this perfect headache hat, here’s why.This even better 2.0 version is the same great model from 3 years ago but better with soft material similar quality to Lululemon, Nike or Adidas type dri-fit material- love it.I’ve even worn it to sleep and in the car. I appreciated the instructions sheet and the on-the-go bag which I used to bring my headache hat with me when I leave home. It stayed cold and comforting for hours (way longer than my ice gel packs or messy ice bags), impressive.I usually don’t put it over my eyes so I can try and be mobile/productive when I can with a headache, but you can adjust it to cover your eyes for maximum comfort.My husband likes it to cool down especially in the summer months. He occasionally gets stress headaches and said it’s soothing and cools you down faster than anything in the hotter months. He used it on his knee too. I am now mobile and can work remote wearing this weekly because I found it even helps PREVENT my headaches.I prefer this versatile head wrap style instead of a cap that completely covers the top of my head, smashing my hair down for a bedhead look when I pull it off for work. It’s more like a chic, stylish turban than a Dr. Seuss looking cap. This headache hat can be easily adjusted to cover the top of your head if needed though. Having 2 to rotate is ideal. An affordable, quality, comforting product that actually works.

My daughter suffers from daily migraines so I purchased the Headache Hat for her in 2020. To say this has been a godsend is an understatement. It is truly the only thing that makes her feel better on a daily basis. The "hat" is made of 3 rows of "ice cubes"-which are fluid filled plastic pillows(my description) that turn solid when placed in the freezer. The hat itself wraps around your head and can be adjusted for tightness by a piece of velcro. I do recommend buying the cloth sleeve that covers it as the hat is a little too cold without it.For some reason, it never occurred to me to purchase a second one, but I decided to get another one so she could swap out the first when it gets warm. She says it typically stays cold for about 1 1/2 hours. I've read some people flip it over to the other side to use it even longer.My daughter loved the first one immediately. There was no breaking in time. This new one was a bit tighter and just not as comfortable for her to use. I thought that maybe it needed to stretch a bit, but was still irritated that it wasn't like the original. I decided to go the theheadache.com website to see if maybe I should order directly from the site. The owner, Sherri, answered me almost immediately. I cannot say enough great things about the response I received! Sherri was so responsive and just wanted to make everything right. She expressed that she wished people would reach out to her directly to see if she can resolve any problems they may have. She also explained that these hats are made by sewers and not machines so there can be a small margin of error in the sizing, but typically the standard size is 22-23 inches and the XL size is 24-25 inches and they do stretch little over time. I measured the original and sent her a picture comparing the two. I ended up returning the original hat and purchased from her site directly. There are also other items for sale on her website. There is still a little adjustment to the new hat, but overall, my daughter is very pleased to have a second one available when she needs it. Regardless if you purchase on Amazon or from her website, I advise reaching out to her directly if you are not happy with your purchase. There is an option on Amazon to do that when you start the return process. Excellent customer service!

Like the rest of the population that also suffers from chronic daily migraines, I too have accumulated a vast array of ice packs hoping to stumble upon the perfect one. Well look no further this is an exceptional product that really delivers ! First it is comfortable and made of quality materials and is adjustable that allows you to move it down to cover your eyes blocking the light and relieving some pain in that region (something the other products don't offer) The one review that stated that the ice cubes were hard and uncomfortable. The really easy solution is to place your headache hat in a 2 gallon zip-lock bag and lay flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer till frozen - this allows the cubes to freeze into smooth disk and not have any odd sharp edges - then you can fold and relocate to the storage pouch that comes with your headache hat (another nice feature the maker of this product didn't forget) Secondly, it stays nice and cold for several hours and allows you to not be tethered to your couch or bed. If you're like me and have migraines that last endlessly you might want to consider getting a second one so you can rotate between the two. Don't forget to pick up the matching beanie which seems to add another layer in insulation keeping the pack colder a bit longer and lets you leave the house without people wondering why your wearing an ice pack on your head. In addition, unlike other products it doesn't have 4 inch block letter advertising the products plastered across your skull (Thank goodness). Finally to those reviews that say it's expensive - well it's an investment in your well being and much less costly than the endless monthly prescriptions most of us currently take. Thanks for the useful and well thought out product and the great customer service.
