11 Fun and Comfortable Shower Caps That Will Make Your Life Easier
Shower caps may look ridiculous, but they are a lifesaver for days when you want to protect your hair from getting wet while showering. When you are getting late for work or school, the last thing you want is your hair getting wet.
Wearing a shower cap saves you time and energy because you won’t have to think about washing your hair every single day. You can use shower caps to pack your hair when you do your hair treatments and leave them on overnight.
For the caps to be efficient, they need to be reliable and sturdy with an elastic band that will secure even the little pieces in place. Some shower caps are machine-washable, while others you can clean using warm water and dish soap.
