As curlies, we use a lot of tools to keep our curls looking their best. Yet, One of the most essential tools, and possibly the most overlooked, is the shower cap. You can use it in the shower on days when you don’t need to wash, when you want to protect that perfect style, or when you are deep conditioning. They are also great for a day at the pool when you just want a quick dip without hair worries. Shower caps lock moisture in strands and avoid messes when doing hair treatments, and even come in great use on a rainy day.
The shower cap used to be a drab and boring necessity, but many brands have transformed them into something more stylish without losing any of the much-needed function. Here are a few of the best shower caps for curlies!
