Benefits of technology

The invention is a shower cap that can protect the most extravagant hairstyles while providing a comfortable fit for the user. It is made of a heavier gauge material that does not need ribs to keep its shape, and has an adjustable base that can be closed with various mechanisms to fit different sized heads and hairstyles. It is economical to manufacture, durable and effective, but can also be disposable and replaced regularly.

Problems solved by technology

In other cases, the hair treatments may require the hair to go undisturbed for an extended period of time.
However, they remain uncomfortable.
Existing bands on shower caps cause discomfort for the wearer particularly when a higher gauge plastic, waterproof fabric, and / or cellophane film is used for the cap material.
Moreover, shower caps are only typically used for one or two uses and intended to be thrown away.
