Let's Talk About Shower Caps!

Angel1881 · Feb 21, 2018

Hey ladies,
I've been on the hunt for a very roomy, extra large shower cap that does not get the hair wet. It's a deal-breaker for me if the hair gets wet.

I have not been able to find one for years. I've done searches on LHCF and online many times and have been unable to find a good one. I've actually wasted a lot of money on a bunch of duds.

I desperately need your help, and I bet I'm not the only one looking for a great shower cap. Can you please post your recommendations? I would prefer a black-owned company, but I am open to all companies.

I got a great one from Ulta, and my mom got it also and loves it. I saw it posted here. I’ll try to find it on the site.

@Dee-Licious, thanks so much for your recommendation. I like the reviews and will take a look at it in the store.

I have a satin lined one from Ebonicurls that I love. (link)

@rileypak That does actually look pretty good. I've bought things from her in the past but for whatever reason never saw the shower caps.

Thank you for this. I ordered as soon as I saw it.

Do these shower caps hold up? Are they washable? I hate when a cap starts to get that mildew smell...

Angel1881 · Feb 22, 2018

I'm wondering the same as you.

@rileypak, thanks for your recommendation. I like that theEbonicurls cap is lined with satin. It looks great, but it says it is water resistant only...so has your hair gotten wet (through the cap or around the edges)? I prefer a black-owned company, so this is really intriguing me.

The Ulta one is washable and holds up very well from my experience.

I hate fabric lined shower caps. They get moldy and the plastic outer part can't go in the washer. I barely use a shower cap anymore, but when it's necessary I use a plain one with sturdy plastic.

Never through the cap, maybe slightly around the edges if I pull it up too far...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm not sure if this would work for me because I don't want my edges wet. I don't straighten my hair often, but if I do, I don’t want to undo all of that hard work. I need a shower cap that I don’t have to ever worry that my hair would get wet. Maybe that isn't possible...

My edges nor hair get wet with mine. It’s quite big.

Thanks for this thread, I had been looking for a shower cap to deep condition my hair.. I'm going to check out Ulta this week.

Angel1881 · Feb 24, 2018

Me, too.

Thanks for your update @Dee-Licious.

Dee-Licious · Feb 24, 2018

Make sure to go online and get an Ulta coupon.

The one I posted is the exact one. I bought it from a random recommendation on here.

For some reason, the first time I clicked it went to product, but then two days later it was just taking me to site and they got like over 15... Thanks!

The only way to ensure my edges don’t get wet is to tie my hair down with a scarf first and then put the shower cap on.

I like the Andre Shower Splendor Cap from Sally's.
