Hair cap with integral absorbent material

Abstract

A hair cap with integral absorbent material for placement on a wearer's head, over their hair comprises a cap portion that defines a head covering, pliable receptacle area of the hair cap with integral absorbent material and a rim portion that defines the circumferential edge of the hair cap with integral absorbent material. The cap portion is constructed entirely of terry cloth and the rim portion is constructed of an elastic material defined as rubber. The elastic nature of the rim portion enables it to be stretch outward with manually force to allow the head and hair of a user to be placed into the cap portion and then automatically contract back to its normal size wherein it would frictionally contact the head of the wearer to hold the hair cap with integral absorbent material in place on the wearer, much in the same way of conventional shower caps.
