AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a shower cap for voluminous hair that addresses the need for a specific cap designed for African American hair styling. The shower cap has a concave waterproof polymeric dome and a brim circumscribing the lower edge of the dome with flexible elastomeric straps. A knot is affixed to the brim and dome for pulling when water pressure is applied. The invention also includes a plurality of knots and annular concentric tiers to add volume. Overall, the shower cap provides a solution for curing the deficiencies in the prior art and meets the needs of voluminous hair styling.

Problems solved by technology

Although the art teaches shower caps which are functionally efficient for short, closing cropped hair, the art is lacking with respect to many African American hair styles which commonly have more volume than non-African American styles and require uniquely purposed hair caps.
Not only does voluminous hair fail to fit into traditional hair caps, voluminous shield the head of shower cap wearer from sensing hot and cold, wet and dry, and high pressure and low pressure water streams.
