A good shower cap

I was wondering if anyone has a good method when you don't want to wash your hair when you are in the shower. I have used a shower cap but my hair still gets wet.

Good question. I'm having cataract surgery soon and cannot get my eye wet. I only take showers - don't like sitting in dirty water. Have a few shower caps I've been given, but don't know if that's going to do the trick. TIA

I shop at Meijer and always use their cheapy shower caps. They have terrycloth inside and a snug elastic to keep my hair dry. It only costs me $3.

I think the only thing that would work is to buy a shower head with one of those hand held shower attachments and just use it.

@pommom How about using eye goggles when you shower if your shower sprays that much? My grandmother had cataract surgery and didn't have a problem getting water in her eyes when she washes her hair. Your eye doctor may be able to tell you more about how to avoid water in the eye.

I bought a couple from Vermont Country Store. They eventually lose some elasticity, but they worked very well. Otherwise, Tjmaxx has some that are less expensive but also work.

With curly hair, the steam in the shower helps revive 2nd day hair and bring back the curl w/o washing it again. I use a hand held shower head. On days I deep condition & need a shower cap, SALLY's has a great supply. I suggest the bouffant size so your "do" isn't flattened & longer hair doesn't fit under a reg. size cap.

Not hard, don't put your head under the shower head. I never wash my hair in the shower.

Put your hair in a ponytail or on top of your head.

I have a good shower cap, but i don't bother. I put my hair up in a clip. My shower has an overhead as well as a hand held option for washing. The hand held is easy to direct exectly where you want water on your body. I've always resorted to just using a clip even before I had the option of a hand held. If you are looking for a cap, mine came from TJ Max...it is terry line and elastic and very adequate if that is your choice.
