Best Migraine Hat: Headache Hat Review
The best migraine hat has arrived! When the Headache Hat first was sent to me for a review, I was going to write about it at the end of the week. Well, the holidays came and went, and here we are. I am glad I waited because it showed me how often I am using it. The Headache Hat helped me get through the holidays which was much needed. My Headache Hat review is that is the best ice hat for migraine attacks that I have found so far. In this post, you will be read about my migraine hat review and how I use it.

Best Migraine Hat: Headache Hat
The Headache Hat is an ice wrap that delivers long-lasting cold with a comfortable adjustable fit. Headache Hat has an ice cube design versus the traditional large solid pack which allows a more natural fit. I can get specific cubes to press against my temples. It secures tight enough to squeeze and freeze my trigger points. There is a nice little cover to protect from direct contact with the skin. It can be worn right out of the freezer and at length without harming the skin.
Migraine Hat Review
A convenient feature of the Headache Hat is that once the cubes have melted, I can flip it over. I use it again while the other side of the hat is still frozen. Changing out ice is a pain and I love having it last! I can’t tell you the number of times I have laid in bed needing fresh ice but the pain is too much for me to get up.
Is Ice or Heat better for headaches?
I prefer ice but typically use heat for shoulder and neck pain. Over the holidays I wore the Headache Hat while traveling to relatives in the car, cooking/chopping, wrapping presents, reading to my children, and while resting (or course). I like having the freedom to lay on my side or couch freely. The great thing about using it in bed or on the couch is the ability to wear it without shifting. The darkness it provides is soothing. It’s a sleep mask and ice pack that blocks light.
Headache Hat Reviews
I reach for it often. Being that I am on the go all day, I usually can’t ice until I am forced to lay down. Since I can wear it, I am able to stop some headaches and migraines from escalating since early prevention is key. Anything that keeps me moving and gives me migraine relief is good. I’m so grateful that the Headache Hat was given to me because now I’m in love. It is a product that is so simple and yet I want to yell, “Where have you been all my life?!”
The Headache Hat is my favorite and I get extra cubes to fill it all the way around. On my bad migraine attack days, I reach for as big as I can. The Halo is great for less painful attacks and smaller areas of my head that need to be chilled. It is yet another choice for an ice hat for migraines and my kids love it too. I now have an entire freezer full of Headache Hats to use as my ice beanies in various ways. My kids use them for bumped heads and fevers, I use them to freeze my migraine pain away and I always have backups for when I need more! I HIGHLY recommend Headache Hat for migraine and cold therapy use.
Headache Hat is my migraine hat, but I have lots of favorite natural treatments and other migraine relief products

Simply FAB article! I know what you mean! I pull the covers and even a pillow on my head + ice bag to TRY to lessen the pain. Always behind my 1 eye. rrrrr rrrrr
I am a migraine sufferer and always looking for something to relieve them besides being stuck in bed with cold gel packs on my head, so please let me know something and I have atleast 6 migraines a month…feeling helpless and in pain
Tammy, I am sorry and you are not alone. I wish I could say there’s a cure but I don’t have one. I have ok days & really bad ones. I’m sorry you suffer also!
We have similar product in the UK called a migracap. I have 2 so that I always have one cold and they are my best friend. I have one every morning before I can even get out of bed! I have ice packs that I put on my neck too when I need to have the ice even further down but I know others but it in the top like you said you did. Have you fallen asleep wearing one yet? Bliss! I like to meditate with mine on and my earphones over the top or listen to an audiobook. On our Facebook group Mission Migraine; we have a tradition that when you buy a migracap or now a headache hat, that you have to take and post a selfie. If you join the group you can see them. Some are funny!

It’s a headache hat kind of day! This weather is crazy!
I’m a chronic migraine sufferer and have used these hats for I think 2 years now – they are the BEST! I am ordering more for me and a few for my baby sister who is starting into the migraine disease.
One thing I really want to urge you to do is contact Mayo Headache Clinic in Arizona to introduce them to these hats. I live here half the year and am treated for my migraines here. I wore my headache hat in to an appointment earlier this week and my Headace Nurse Practitoner (who works in collaboration with my neuro, Dr. David Dodick) said she’d never seen one before and how great they would be for headache patients. Please contact Dr. Dodick as he is the head of the headache clinic as I think there are many migrainuers out there who don’t even know about them. They are my go to treatment along with my meds.
A couple of comments mention pressure and/or ice to the temples. This is also helpful to me, but the pain returns as soon as the pressure/ice/heat is removed. Does anyone notice benefit with pressure to the ear? I have been reading about the vagus nerve in the ear and have tried a couple of homemade “stop gap” solutions that have had longer lasting benefit for me than pressure at the temples. In fact, I recently used this as soon as the migraine started, and it went away completely! I’ve only tried it a few times, so I don’t have a lot of data to provide, but there is evidence that the vagus nerve is involved in migraines. See here for the 2nd of my posts on this: https://peanutfreemigrainemom.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/daith-pressure-follow-up/?preview_id=413&preview_nonce=381e5cb66f&post_format=standard&preview=true
