Let's be real: Who wants to ruin a good blowout? In an effort to make our blowouts last, we resort to dry shampoos, dry conditioners and whatever else it takes to keep hair looking (and smelling) fresh. But a girl's gotta shower and all that heat and humidity can make a silky blowout look frizzy in no time flat. Which is why having a good shower cap is a must. Yes, your grandma's favorite shower accessory is back. And with brands like Kitsch and Drybar joining the movement, shower caps are not only functional but pretty darned cute too. (So cute, in fact, many double as a beach turban or protection from the rain.) Most importantly, they deliver on their promise to maintain our beautifully blown-out hair.
Read on for six of the coolest (yes, we said it) new shower caps on the market. The only question is, which one will you choose?
Designed with 100 percent nylon and an elastic stretch band to accommodate most head sizes (because, let's be real, is anything actually one-size-fits-all?), Kitsch's shower caps come in a variety of different colors and patterns, giving blowout-lovers and people who simply don't want to have to deal with drying their hair the perfect solution when showers are unavoidable. What's more, with seriously pretty patterns to choose from, you may even want to try wearing one of these must-haves on a gloomy day as a next-level hair accessory that can double as a built-in umbrella.
Not only will your perfectly blown-out mane leave all the haters green with envy but this luxuriously soft, nano-tech fabric shower cap will too. Available in a handful of solid colors and patterns, this water-repelling shower cap is not just waterproof, but hydrophobic, meaning water beads up and falls right off. What's more, since it dries on contact, you don't have to worry about your cap getting your bathroom, gym bag, backpack or whatever else wet, not to mention it ensures that humidity won't build up inside the cap, which is common among old-school shower caps.
This paneled turban-style shower cap is made of soft, stretchy, quick-drying fabric and is paired with a waterproof lining for ultimate protection from water and humidity. And, since it features such a fashion-forward design, this is another cap that totally deserves seeing the light of day. Pair with beachy waves, cut-offs, sandals and a kimono and you'll look picture-perfect in a pinch.
Everyone's favorite blowout bar knows a thing or two about maintaining massive volume, so it's no wonder it debuted its very own shower cap. Instead of a plastic lining, this signature yellow cap features a terrycloth lining that won't snag your hair, topped off with waterproof plastic to keep water and humidity out. The result: A fuss-free take on blowout maintenance.
