The best shower caps you can buy

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

• Single-use shower caps are wasteful and often ineffective.
• Our pick for the best reusable shower cap you can buy is the Shhhower Cap . It's pricey, but it's totally leak-proof thanks to a gel-like strip around the inner band, and it comes in a variety of fun patterns and prints.

If you're not an obsessive hair washer, there's a strong chance you have a shower cap (or two) tucked away in your bathroom. You simply can't beat them when you want to freshen up in the shower without starting from square one with your hair.

Shower caps keep your strands dry, protect your style, and prevent your second (or third!) day hair from falling flat.

But shower caps aren't particularly fun to spend money on. They tend to be little more than glorified plastic bags — and they look like them, too. Luckily, we're experiencing something of a shower cap revolution. Some of the latest offerings are downright cool , and with innovative materials and designs, they're more effective than ever before.

Not all of these picks are stylish enough to wear outside, but they all stand out from the pack for their superior functionality. If style is your priority, there are options for you — no more looking like an extra from the sleepover scene in "Grease" when you hit the showers at the gym or in a dorm!

Here are our top picks for the best shower cap:

• Best overall: Shhhower Cap
• Best for extending a blowout: Drybar the Morning After Shower Cap
• Best bargain cap: Betty Dain Fashionista
• Best travel shower cap: EcoTools Shower Cap and Case
• Best shower cap for wearing outside: Kitsch Luxury Shower Cap

The best shower cap overall

The Shhhower Cap is cute, plus, it actually works better than your average drugstore cap, thanks to its smart design.

The Shhhower Cap is not only cute and fun but also incredibly effective. Use it just once and you definitely won't be going back to those $1 drugstore caps anytime soon.

At $43, The Shhhower Cap is pricey, but it's really built to last. Made of waterproof antibacterial fabric, rather than typical plastic, it's machine washable and won't get moldy or mildew-covered as long as you care for it. It has a gel band that lines part of the inside of the rim, which keeps moisture locked out completely. Plus, it saves you money over time since you can keep washing it.

The gorgeous turban-inspired design and longevity are its major selling points, but the cap will also fit securely, lock out humidity, and minimize ambient noise (Does anyone else hate feeling like they are in the middle of the rainforest when they wear a plastic shower cap?).

Not convinced? The Shhhower Cap comes recommended by countless beauty editors, most notably at The Cut , Byrdie , Allure , Nylon , and the team here at Insider Picks . Our deputy editor, Malarie Gokey, uses hers on no-wash days when she wants to keep her hair dry to live another day.

The one downside of the Shhhower Cap, as noted by our senior editor, Sally Kaplan, is that sometimes the cap is so effective that it traps moisture inside if your head happens to sweat a lot in the shower. She recommends keeping the water temperature cool enough that you don't risk trapping sweat inside the cap while showering.

Pros : Pretty silhouette, comes in fun patterns, machine washable, locks out any trace of water or steam

Cons: Might be too small for certain hair types and styles, can be hard to get on, can trap moisture if your head sweats in the shower, pricey

The best shower cap for making a blowout last

The folks at Drybar know a thing or two about blowouts, so it's no surprise that the brand's The Morning After Shower Cap is your best bet for making sleek styles last.

I love my naturally curly hair, but I still get a little thrill on the (very) rare occasion that I get it blown out. My temporarily straight hair always makes me feel like a completely different person.

If, like me, you prefer to extend the life of your blowout for as long as possible, The Morning After Shower Cap by Drybar is for you. It's lined with terry cloth that helps block out the humidity from your shower, and the oversized shape gives your strands plenty of room to breathe.

The Morning After Shower Cap looks more like a traditional shower cap you'd buy at the pharmacy, but the extra attention to detail makes it worth a few extra bucks. For example, the elastic that secures the cap on your head is lined with cotton to help you avoid those red angry lines.

Kathleen Hou at The Cut says that The Morning After Shower Cap is "so big that putting it on makes me look like Toad from Super Mario Brothers," but ultimately enjoys using it because it has enough space to keep her waves from getting smushed.

Essence also named this pick as being great for college students who have to run to and from shower rooms.

Pros: Terry cloth lining helps preserve blowouts and other styles, large size accommodates all hair types, cotton-trimmed elastic doesn't irritate skin

Cons: Price is high for a shower cap that you can't wash

The best inexpensive shower cap

The Betty Dain Fashionista Shower Cap  keeps your hair dry and frizz-free for less than $10.

The Betty Dain Fashionista Shower Cap is shaped a bit like a collapsed soufflé, but don't let it's vaguely comical silhouette fool you — It's just as good as the other options on this list if you're not looking to splurge but still want to take your shower cap game to the next level.

The mushroomy shape I mentioned earlier is actually part of the selling point for this cap — it's huge. If you have big curls, Afro-textured hair, braids, or an otherwise voluminous style, the Betty Dain Fashionista is large enough to accommodate your needs. Thanks to the nylon exterior, it's resistant to mold and mildew.

That said, it won't last forever, but at only $6.95, you won't wince when you have to pick up a new one.

Betty Dain Fashionista is the number one best-selling shower cap on Amazon, with a 4.2 rating based on 1,600 reviews. It also comes recommended by the website Naturally Curly , which named it one of the top three best shower caps. If there's such a thing as a "cult favorite" shower cap, this is it.

Pros: Inexpensive, oversized to accommodate lots of hair types

Cons: Not likely to last a super long time

Best travel shower cap

EcoTools Shower Cap and Case comes with its own storage pouch to make packing a breeze.

Vacation is a prime time for shower cap usage, especially if you're traveling somewhere warm where pool and beach time will be on the agenda. But packing a damp shower cap at the end of your trip? That can be a huge pain.

The EcoTools Shower Cap and Case is the ideal travel companion, as it comes with a reusable travel case. Both the cap and the case, like all EcoTools products, are made with eco-friendly, recycled materials like organic cotton, EVA, and renewable bamboo, and the case is constructed of breathable mesh with a zipper closure, so you don't have to stress about mold and mildew if you need to pack your luggage before the cap fully dries.

And the cap design is pretty great too, with enough room for long hair and soft cotton lining to protect your strands from frizz and breakage. As Bustle points out, "If you decide to use the cap with a hair mask, you can flip it inside out so that the treatment doesn't get into the cotton lining." Editors at Rank and Style  and Byrdie are also fans of the portable, travel-friendly design.

Pros: affordable, cotton lining, ventilated travel case

Cons: not super attractive design, cotton lining can get stained

Best shower cap for wearing outside

The Kitsch Luxury Shower Cap is cute enough to brave the great outdoors, whether it's poolside or in the outdoor showers.

Shower caps are not known for their fashionability, but sometimes you need to protect your strands in public. The Kitsch Luxury Shower Cap is cute enough to wear poolside, with its old-fashioned '50s-style silhouette, fun patterns, and fun bow detail at the front.

The cap is made of 100% waterproof nylon with an elastic-lined band that expands and contracts for a snug fit that won't let a drop of water inside. Kitsch is a Los Angeles-based brand that sells a variety of spa, pool, and shower accessories, and the shower cap is one of their most popular styles. There are several fun prints and patterns available. 

Byrdie named Kitsch their top shower cap pick for swimming because it's both cute and secure. It's also been featured by publications such as Bustle , Total Beauty , and Rank and Style .

Pros: no plastic, cute patterns, chic design, flexible elastic band

Cons: not particularly large

One of the tiny details you never think about on your trip is your shower essentials. Sure, you probably obsess over downsizing your beauty products and toiletries, but what about your loofah or other cleansing items? Take a look at my round up of the best items to take on your travels!

Travel-Friendly Shower Essentials

Table of contents.

This may sound random, but one of the small details that confused me on my first trip to Europe was what bath accessories to bring.

The reason why this was an issue is because I planned on visiting multiple destinations in under two weeks and would only stay in each place for one or two nights. I didn’t want to have to repack a wet loofah in my bag every time. The friend that I was traveling with brought a small face towel, which never dried. Needless to say, that was a big mistake.

So, I did some research. Some people suggested that the most efficient item to bring was a quick dry travel washcloth. Others recommended I just skip it altogether and use a bar of soap and my hands.

Follow our ultimate guide to creating the perfect travel toiletries list and master the art of packing!

Shower Essentials Product Review

I’ve now been traveling for over nine years and thought I’d put together a list of shower essentials that I’ve found most useful on my adventures.  

Aquasentials Mesh Sponge

A travel loofah is easy to carry along on any journey

I looked for the best travel washcloth I could find, but I instead settled on this pouf scrubber by Aquasentials . It’s lightweight, dries relatively quickly, and is also easy to clean.

While a large option probably wouldn’t take up too much space, a smaller travel loofah is best for keeping your belongings to a minimum. If you use a backpack as a personal item, then you can easily attach it to the outside and allow it to air dry while on the go.

Read these tips on  how to minimize toiletry products  for even more tips!

Earth Therapeutics Gloves

Exfoliating mitts are perfect shower essentials for an extended stay

I came across a forum back in 2008 discussing suggested items for long trips and these Earth Therapeutics gloves came highly recommended. Many travelers said they were efficient and best used with a bar of soap.

I took their advice only and gave the gloves a try, but they took a long time to dry, so they weren’t my preferred choice in the end. However, if you’re staying in one place for a long time and prefer to use solid soap, then you might like these.  

Avoid taking liquids in your carryon by replacing them with solid toiletries  and  travel wipes !

Botanic Touch Body Pads

This exfoliating travel loofa takes up minimum suitcase space

I like traveling with a Botanic Touc h loofah when I’m going to be in an extremely hot, humid, and/or dusty destination. Not only is it thin, but it also doesn’t add much weight to your bag, and you won’t feel grimy and gross after a sweaty day of sightseeing.

Here are a few more tips on how to stay sweat-free when you’re traveling!

Mr. Pumice Callus Remover

Pumice bars are shower necessities for your feet

Traveling to dusty destinations such as Vietnam and India or planning on doing a safari adventure in Africa ? Prepare to tackle dirty feet with a foot scrubber like this one by Mr. Pumice . I cut mine in half so it takes up less space, and I get double the use out of it. It’s also featherlight so it doesn’t add any weight to my bag.

I love these bars – not only do they keep my feet soft by removing dead, dry skin cells but they also help me feel cleaner overall. My feet love to be in sandals, so this item is a must!

Here are a few more of my grooming essentials !

Sea to Summit Tek Towel

Scrub on the run with an absorbent and easy to store travel towel

Don’t pack a full-size towel, ever! They’re bulky space wasters and are NOT travel-friendly at all, especially when you’re moving from place to place frequently.

You won’t believe how many times I’ve seen travelers lugging around big, damp towels—not only are they not efficient for drying off, they get stinky. Plus, they’re pretty gross when shoved in with all your clean stuff.

If you’re staying at a hotel or an Airbnb , you’ll have towels waiting for you. However, if you’re camping , going on safari , scuba diving , snorkeling , traveling on a budget , or staying in hostels , bringing your own towel like this one by Sea to Summit is a must! It’s quick to dry when you’re on the go.

I ALWAYS have a travel towel in my suitcase. Even if none of the above scenarios apply, I can use it to wrap my hair or dry off on the beach. I prefer it against my wet skin to a sarong. If you get one, don’t plan to wrap it around your entire body—they aren’t very large.

A   Turkish towel is also a stylish option for female travelers.

Take a look at our best beach towels for travel. Hardly any suitcase space required!

Turbie Twist Microfiber Hair Towel

A hair towel is one of the great must-have shower products

I travel with a small hair towel like this one by Turbie Twist . It’s super absorbent, helps hair dry quicker, and minimizes overall prep time.

It was particularly helpful when I was on my round-the-world backpacking trip and stayed at budget guesthouses or hostels, which hardly ever provide towels. It’s also great for home use.

We’ve rounded up our favorite travel towels !

Travelon Ripstop Sacks

Bring a loofah travel case to store all your bathroom essentials

If you’re on the move and find that accessories like your travel loofa haven’t dried, use a wet/dry bag like this one by Travelon to prevent other items in your suitcase from getting wet.

You can also use the bags to store your bathing suit!

Take a look at this list of other luggage organizers !

Betty Dain Mold Resistant Lined Shower Cap

Steer clear of mold and mildew with this waterproof, reusable shower cap

If you don’t feel like washing your hair every day, put your dynamite ‘do in a stylish hair cover by Betty Dain . Not only does it look funky in black and white, but it’s leak-free and will dry quickly when not in use.

When you get home, you can just toss this durable cap in a washing machine with other accessories like your travel washcloth, but make sure to air dry it to extend its use.

Ipanema Ana Tan Thong

Keep your feet free of fungus with these Ipanema sandals

If you stay in a hostel, you’ll certainly share a shower with your fellow travelers. So, protect your tootsies with thick, rubber thongs like the Ana Tan model shown above. They’re durable, easy to pack and will go the distance with you on this and many adventures to come.

How do I pack toiletries?

Be sure to read our complete guide to packing toiletries  here . It walks you through, step by step, how to choose what to pack, how to downsize what you have, and how to pack it.

Do a test run to see if everything fits in your toiletry bag. If your belongings don’t fit, consider using multi-use products such as a shampoo/conditioner combo, using conditioner as shaving cream, or baby shampoo for your hair and body.

If you’ll be traveling for a longer time, you can buy toiletries at your destination.
