NOT JUST FOR DRYING HAIR WORKS GREAT FOR DEEP CONDTIONING
I use mine for weekly deep conditioning treatments
I have had mine for years, and recently noticed the bonnet had a tear in it
I didn't save my box so I didn't have the model number and I certainly didn't remember if the bonnet came off to even replace it.
I didn't want to throw the whole thing away if the bonnet was easily replaceable
So I searched the reviews and questions on Amazon, to see if people have replaced their bonnet, and where to get them.
Not seeing anyone posting in reviews or questions, that replace theres or where to get one, I ordered a whole new dryer
THE BONNET IS REPLACEABLE and all it took was a call to Conair
If you tear your bonnet like I did after many years of use, nothing lasts forever, call Conair @ 1-800-326-6247 (The cost a whole $4.77)
After I received this new hair dryer really hating the idea of throwing out the perfectly good dryer, and seeing that inside the box, the bonnet was packaged separately proving it can be taken off, I realized what would it hurt to call them. I will be receiving my new bonnet in 7-10 days,,, and rather than returning this dryer, I am keeping this dryer I just ordered for my friend...
Save your hair and your money from all the processing and do the deep condtioning with this safe, relaxing in your favorite chair in your own home, and if your bonnet tears YOU CAN REPLACE IT
If you have thrown out your box like I did here is al you need to know:

I use mine for weekly deep conditioning treatments, and this is how it works:
You MUST have a LOW profile shower cap with a SATIN LINING ( I have a lot of hair, and once you put all the conditioner on it I can fit my hair very easily into a low profile cap) UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER PUT ANY METAL CLIPS ON YOUR HAIR DURING THIS TREATMENT
If your shower cap is not low profile the air WILL not circulate around the head the way that it should
If your shower cap does not have a satin lining it defeats the purpose of protecting your hair from burning and drying out the conditioner
Tighten up the string to fit your head
Put a towel around your neck
Make sure the hose is placed at the back of your head for even heat distribution (because the hose gets hot to, the towel keeps it up off your neck and if any condtioner drips out it does so on the towel not down your neck
How to keep the bonnet from slipping over your face, Place the edge of the bonnet just above your shower cap, (just above your hairline in the front) that you have under the bonnet, if it is still falling, you need to pull the adjustment string tighter
then just sit back and relax
Always remember, as with any heated conditioning, ALWAYS let your HAIR AIR COOL off completely before rinsing off conditioner
