A shower cap is a must-have for anyone who wants to protect their hair from getting wet whilst showering or bathing, but did you also know you can use them for conditioning your hair with a hair mask and to keep moisture in overnight?
With so many different shower caps on the market, it can be tough to know which one is right for you.
In this blog post, we will discuss everything you need to know about shower caps, including:
- Types of shower caps
- How to choose the right shower cap
- Tips for using shower caps
Types of Shower Caps
There are two main types of shower caps: disposable and reusable.
Disposable shower caps are made of a thin plastic and are meant to be used once and then thrown away. They are often sold in packs of multiple caps and are great for uses such as when you are dying your hair.
Reusable shower caps are made of fabric, such as a cotton layered with nylon or polyester. They can be washed and reused for many years.
How to Choose the Right Shower Cap
When choosing a shower cap, there are a few things you need to consider:
- The length of your hair
- The type of your hair
- Your budget
- Design and aesthetic
If you have long hair, you will need a shower cap that is large enough to cover your entire head. If you have short hair, you can get away with a smaller shower cap but may also like a more spacious fit.
The type of your hair will also affect your choice of shower cap. If you have curly hair, you will need a shower cap that is the right size and that will not crush your curls. If you have straight hair, you can use any type of shower cap.
Your budget will also play a role in your choice of shower cap. Disposable shower caps are typically more affordable than reusable shower caps but in the long run reusable will always be more economically viable to your pocket.
As with most things, if you are able - you will want to pick a design you like, whether it be floral, striped, spotty, patterned or plain, with a frill or without a frill there are many designs out there for you to buy.
