Magic Gel Migraine Ice Head Wrap - Real Migraine & Headache Relief | The Original Headache Cap | Cold, Comfortable, Dark & Cool; Endorsed by Physicians, Loved by Thousands - Purple

I bought this cap to help with migraines. A cold cloth or ice pack when you have a migraine can offer some relief but they either don't get cold enough or stay cold long enough. I found this item during a search for an alternative and after reading the reviews decided to give this a go. After using this cap with several migraines I have mostly wonderful things to say about it and only a few minor negatives. Pros: This thing gets cold and I mean freezing cold and it will stay cold for at least an hour. When I go to bed with a migraine, this thing is cold long enough for me to go to sleep. The cap is also a snug fit which is a great bonus because the tightness of the cap applies pressure which when combined with the cold is a winning combo! The cap is sectioned out in squares and inside each square is an ice cube which can be moved or pushed to the area that is hurting. The ice cubes are hard but not so hard that you can't lay down on them. I can use this cap sitting in a chair or sleeping in bed and I never have to fear it will fall off! Cons: The cap will probably freeze your eyeballs! No matter how you put the cap on, there is always an ice cube close to your eyes. If you headache is coming from your eyes then this is a good thing but if you are experiencing pain from another part of your head, then your eyes are going to hurt from the cold. Also, the square sections of the cap are too large (in my opinion). The cubes can only be moved around within their square and this means that when you put the cap on, that you might not be able to get a cube to actually sit on or be near your source of pain. I actually had this happen a few times. I think the squares should be smaller which would allow for more ice which in turn would provide for more coverage. I considered these Cons to be minor because I was able to come up with a solution for both cons. For the ice not getting to the right area, I found that I could turn my cap sideways or put it on halfway and that would put a square in the right place. The cap is designed to go on one way so it can be a little uncomfortable when you have to wear it off center but not as uncomfortable as a migraine. My favorite solution was for the eyeball freezing part. which required the use of a sleeping mask that I had bought on Amazon but didn't really like. The sleeping mask that I bought had claimed to have a Velcro band to help keep it secure at night but when I got it, there was no Velcro - it was just an elastic band which means it would slip off each and every night and I ended up throwing that sleeping mask in a drawer. That is until I got this cap. What I do is place the sleeping mask on my face and then place the cap over it. This had 3 positive side affects. The first was that the sleeping mask created a barrier between the cap and my eyes. I can still feel the coolness but its not so cold as to hurt my eyes anymore. The second was that the combination of the sleeping mask and the cap created a complete blackout from any and all light. As anyone who has ever suffered from a migraine knows - light is pain! And the third benefit is the cap is tighter on my head when I am wearing the sleeping mask which means it creates more pressure and pressure is relief where a migraine is concerned. I really love this item even with the cons I had mentioned. I might have felt differently if I hadn't been able to find a solution for them, but I did and I will never be without one of these. If they ever create an "Upgraded" version with smaller squares and maybe a built in eye cover that can be removed if needed, then I will be the first in line to purchase! I love this thing so much that I bought a second one and when I don't have a headache, they are both in the freezer and when a migraine hits me - I can rotate between the two and always have a cold cap handy if I need it. If you are a migraine sufferer and are looking for something to offer relief, then pull out your favorite sleeping mask and give this thing a try.

Really nice for the headaches. Sometimes my husband and I fight over it!!! Not too heavy and stays on nicely, sometimes I even fold it under my neck when it hurts.

Love these hats! They definitely come in handy when you have a migraine. The only bad thing about them is they don’t stay cold for long. They stay cold for about 45 minutes. I have other hats that stay cold for about an hour and a half.

I have previously reviewed this migraine ice cap but would like to add more now that I have had it for a few weeks. I absolutely love this cap! For me it is the perfect fit & just the right amount of compression. I have read where some customers have found this ice cap to be too cold. I found the same thing when I kept it in the freezer. However, by storing it just in the refrigerator I find it has a perfect chill to it at just the right amount of coolness. So problem solved, at least for me. I love this cap so much that I find I have fallen asleep many times with my cap on. I have had severe & debilitating migraines from the age of 18, & am now 69! How I wish this cap had been available many decades ago!

Still using it to today! Life saver! Help reducing my headaches quickly! Bought one again for my mom!

There’s a 1 star review that sums up all my complaints about this thing. The little gel packs freeze HARD. And it makes it difficult to put on. It’s really tight if wearing above the eyes. Then you pull it down on to the face and it just wants to slide all the way down. Once on, the hard little ice packs push into pressure points that are very sensitive and make pain worse, especially on the face, eyes and ears. It’s SO COLD it burns. Not comfy at all. It’s fine temp for the back of the head if you’ve got long hair to buffer, but anywhere touching skin is too cold. I thought ok, just wait 10-15 mins. Nope! Took 30-60 mins before it was comfy enough. I tried putting it in the fridge and it’s fine for like 15 mins maybe on my face, but not cold enough for the back of my head. Maybe I’ll try to rotate it out or something since I like to use cold on my head for 1-2 hours at night but still, it should be ready to wear out of the freezer and not cause someone who is in pain more pain. I gave it 3 stars because once it finally defrosts to my comfort level, it’s nice. And it does stay cold a very long time. That’s good and bad. But overall I am disappointed.

One of the best purchases we have ever made from Amazon!! If you get headaches or migraines this will seriously help them. It has helped me countless times. It fits snug against your head, but that helps relieve pressure. I have fallen asleep with this on and always keep one ready in the freezer.

Es suave y me gusta que sea flexible así ko tengo que ajustar con ningún broche solo me lo coloco como un gorro y listo. Me ha ayudado cuando tengo migraña.

Confortante

I left this product on the couch for 10 minutes and wore it to bed and found purple stains all over that won’t come out!!!!!!! Horrible cheap and a scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this hat it stays frozen longer, nice and cold . I bought an extra as I loved the first so much

Quando ho l’emicrania, non riesco a fare niente... devo solo stare in una stanza buia con il ghiaccio sulla testa. Con questo prodotto invece mi sento molto meglio! Diventa buio subito, è fresco ma non troppo freddo, e la parte delle orecchie non dà fastidio perché non c’è il gel. Copre bene la fronte, le tempie e anche la parte dietro della testa, proprio dove serve. Anche quando non ho mal di testa, lo uso per fare un piccolo pisolino — mi addormento subito! 😴 Davvero un ottimo acquisto, lo consiglio tantissimo.
