What is a Shower Cap?
A shower cap is simply a covering used over the head to keep hair dry when showering or engaging in some other type of activity involving water. Shower caps can be made of several different materials. No matter what material is used, they all have something in common — their ability to repel water and provide an impermeable layer between the outside of the shower cap and the scalp. Shower caps can be made from a variety of different materials, the most common of which are plastic and nylon. Silk is also a fabric found in some shower cap brands, especially those which are higher end. While most shower caps are multi-use, some are disposable. The disposable varieties are often found in hotels. Though no one will mistake a shower cap as a fashion symbol, the multi-use caps come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. A shower cap run anywhere from less than $1 US Dollar (USD) to more than $20 USD, depending on the style, quality and even the location where purchased.
