Shower caps are not just for Grandma

Did you know that a shower cap can be one of the answers to your hair challenges? Read on to see how this one bath accessory can simplify your life.....

1. Protects Your Hair Style

Your hair is looking amazing in the morning and you just need to take a quick shower or bath. And you LOVE that hot steamy goodness. Well your hair does NOT! Just a minute or so in that bathroom will cause your hair to frizz OR fall flat.

So put on your shower cap before bath time or turning on the shower and leave it on until your bathroom is free from the steam.

2. Deep Conditioning

To get the most out of your deep conditioner, it's best to leave it in for a little while. You don't want to walk around your bathroom with hair full of conditioner though. So, here is what you do.

Shampoo your hair like always do, rinse it out, apply the leave-in conditioner, and put on a shower cap. The shower cap traps the conditioner in so it can work its way into your cuticles.

It also allows you to go on with the rest of your morning routine without worrying about getting conditioner all over the place.

3. Save Your Scalp and Water

Most of the time, if you get in the shower, you're going to wash everything. This isn't good for your scalp though. It's recommended to clean your hair every two to four days.

If you wash it any more than that, you'll dry out your scalp. So, what do you do on days when you don't need to wash your hair? Put on a shower cap.

This way, you can wash over your body quickly without getting your hair wet and hop out. It saves on your water bill and it helps the environment too.

4. Protect Your Brazilian Blowout or Professional Conditioning Treatments.

If you get a hair treatment, it will go away if you wet it too often. Hair treatments are way too expensive for you not to get the most out of it.

5. Protect the longevity of your color

Hair color fades more and more depending on how often you wash it. That means if you want your color to stick around for a while, you should stick to that every 2-4 day rule I mentioned above.

6. Protection from Chores

Dusting, painting, craft projects and other household tasks can be a messy job, but somebody has to do it. And why not look cute while doing it and protecting your hair. Simply plop on that shower cap (the cute one you found on Amazon) and jump in to the tasks. Then take it off and bam you still look amazing and can skip one more day of washing.

As you can see, there are so many shower cap benefits that there is no reason not to add one to your makeup bag.
