Benefits of technology

[0010]The instant invention that can protect the most extravagant of hairdos while providing the user with a comfortable fit and a reusable shower cap. The invention improves upon the prior art by providing a larger shower cap of a heavier gauge that retains its shape without the need to ribs and has an adjustable base that can be closed with a pull tie, push button slider, toggle spring stop, or other cinch and / or clasp mechanism enabling the cap to be adjusted to the different sized heads and hairdos. It is more economical to manufacture, durable and effective than other prior art shower caps and hair protectors. Yet it is inexpensive enough to be disposable and regularly replaced.

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.
