Shhhower Cap believe that you should never settle. That your beauty products should only help you feel beautiful. And that you should never keep anything around (person, place or product) that makes you feel like anything less than your best self. This is NOT just a shower cap. This is a SHHHOWER CAP….
In short, YES. Most beauty blogs will tell you to cut down on your washes because it’s better for your hair. And it is. Less shampoo and less styling means less daily damage to your gorgeous locks. However, we’re also into shower caps for another reason. We’re busy! If we can protect blowouts on amazing hair days and save a ton of getting ready time? Yes, please. Using a shower cap is literally like giving you more hours in your day.
SHHHOWERCAP took a look at the world’s existing shower caps and realized that as much as we needed them, they were actually far from great. They certainly didn’t make women feel great. Which is just ridiculous. They set out to create a version that would make women feel amazing and evaluated it for both form and function. It wasn’t enough for SHHHOWERCAP to look good, it had to work better, too.
They listened in focus groups spending endless hours asking women with different hairstyles and lengths and identified pretty much every problem that existed with what is currently on the market and set about fixing them.
The patented rubber grip provides a secure fit for better hairline protection. The pocket in the back holds all of your hair without flattening your volume. The super premium performance fabric is antibacterial, machine washable, lightweight and breathable for anti-humidity, and on top of all that — it shakes off dry so there is no more drippy mess on your bathroom floor.
The interior band is made of silicone rubber and we’re proud to say that SHHHOWERCAP is latex free. If you’re allergic to silicone, we’re sorry.
Yes! SHHHOWERCAP is one size fits all. SHHHOWERCAP has been fit tested on every type of hair texture, length, and hairstyle. Everything from a full head of long braids to big, thick, voluminous, red headed curls. The patented design allows for a fitted look in the front and the pocket in the back is where all our secrets (and hair) are held. The fuller your hair, the more you must utilize the back pocket. It holds more than you think!
You bet. BEST gift EVER!!! SHHHOWERCAP is a great gift for any occasion because it is something that literally any woman in your life would want to receive; wife, mom, aunts, sisters, little cousins, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, boss, personal trainer, or best friend. The list goes on. Treat yourself or buy this gift for that special someone on your list. It even comes in super giftable packaging. You barely even need to wrap it – literally, best gift ever!
See, normally you’d never dream of wearing a shower cap outside of the house. But, SHHHOWERCAP looks like a fashion turban so you can rock it wherever. We’ve seen women wear it in the pool, to the beach, and our personal favourite – to protect your hair in the rain instead of having to carry an umbrella. For your getting ready routine, the quick dry fabric allows it to be the perfect accessory holding your hair back while you primp for the day. Or when applying your favourite face mask. Hair masques, too! Throw your SHHHOWERCAP over your conditioning treatment. The heat from your head allows your hair cuticle to open up and absorb even better — and then you can just wipe it down or throw it in the wash!
SHHHOWECAP is made to protect your hair and look super chic doing it. The dry heat and cold air significantly reduce the moisture your hair typically retains. But, we’re here for you! Keep your hair game on point by washing, styling and drying less frequently during this time of year. You can use your SHHHOWERCAP for an overnight hydrating treatment with an oil or serum or try using an intensive leave-in conditioner on a weekly basis. Your SHHHOWERCAP will help open your hair cuticle and allow your products to penetrate deeper.
Designed with sass in Brooklyn, SHHHOWERCAP is New York born and bred. To learn more about the story of the SHHHOWERCAP read on…..
In 2013 Jackie- Founder of SHHHOWERCAP, wanted something that didn’t exist, and so she set out to create it.
Like most women, Jackie wasn’t washing her hair every day. Some days it was because she was trying to stretch another day out of a blowout, other days she simply didn’t have time to wash and style before running to an early morning meeting. She also knew from blogs and magazines that it was healthiest to cut down on shampoos and avoid heat styling as much as possible. Basically, it was just easier and she believed better not to wash her hair every day.
However, the practicality of not washing was trickier than it sounds. Jackie had a shower cap, just like yours, ugly, stretched and mouldy. A shower cap she hated….
“It didn’t work well and I felt like it was sacrifice every single time I put it on. So, I chose instead to put my hair in a top knot and dance around the shower hoping that my hair didn’t get wet. As we all know if you’ve tried it — this is a faulty solution. I was tired of the dance. So, I decided to look for a new shower cap. I wanted an upgrade.”
Jackie did some research, on google of course. What she found was the catalyst for her reinvention. Her internet search for “cool shower cap” “best shower cap” and “fashionable shower cap” came back with a ton of horrible options! All frilly bows, cheesy prints, satin ruffles, sequins, bedazzling, you name it. It was so bad. Don’t forget the cheap plastic “ironic” category of plastic frogs, strawberries, and ice cream cones. Most of all, they all had that tacky Miss Muffet shape. Nothing you would consider to fit the modern woman’s taste. Yet, almost every woman Jackie knew had a need for a shower cap.
“Why had no one reimagined this outdated beauty necessity?! Why were we all settling for an experience that made us feel less than? I knew I could do it better. I needed to do better.”
Over the next year, Jackie obsessively set out on the journey to make her invention into a reality. Learning everything she could about waterproofing technologies and manufacturing, sourcing fabrics and testing them. She pulled reference and sketched designs, asked friends and friends of friends who worked in fashion if they knew anything or anyone that could help her. Running back and forth to New York City’s Garment District iterating different shapes, sizes, and folds until everything was a perfect balance of both form and function.
During this time Jackie made her life one big focus group…
“I’d speak to every single person I met about their hair washing habits Chances are if you met me during those development years, I’d open our conversation with “Random question. Do you wash your hair every day?” It’s quite an icebreaker. I’d follow up and ask how you felt about shower caps. If you used one and if you didn’t — why not?”
This is when Jackie learned all of the specific things that turned women off from using them altogether. Everyone had their own annoyance with the shower caps that existed. Even if they were using one regularly. Especially if they were! It was obvious that “chic” was just the tip of the iceberg because a ton of functionality issues needed fixing as well. Not one person felt good wearing them. Especially offensive in these personal moments in the nude when we should all feel like our best selves.
Once Jackie felt she had a product that addressed every major issue she’d heard in these conversations, she couldn’t wait to put it out into the world. Fast Company wrote this article, “Reinventing the Shower Cap For The Modern Woman” the day after the site went live. It started the engine, that hasn’t stopped since.
SHHHOWERCAP is a brand run by hardworking women with a strong point of view on everything from politics to mascara. Jackie is the proud founder delivering on her original goal — to reinvent the shower cap. And, an even bigger one — to inspire women launching their new ideas into the world. Right now, they’re focused on doing that through the growth story of SHHHOWERCAP, chic waterproof hair protection that we all look forward to wearing. There will be more to come.
“ I really hope you buy one. They’re great. And, you deserve the upgrade” – xx Jackie
