Would You Pay $70 For A Shower Cap?

You know what I take home with me after I've stayed at a fancy hotel? The shower caps you find in the bathroom next to the miniature sewing kit. They're such handy little numbers - perfect for popping your hair up in when you're colouring it (way easier than wrapping cling wrap that's for sure), and ideal for when you've just had your hair styled at the  hairdressers and are wanting to keep the shower's moisture from ruining your 'do'. There's one thing I'm not fond of about shower caps though - they just don't last all that long. The elastic breaks. The plastic tears. Then you're back to having to book a fancy hotel so you can get your hands on another one (joking, I know you can buy them...)

Recently though I stumbled upon the shower cap of my dreams.

Named 'All Caps', this shower cap has been designed with a tonne of benefits for those who care for their hair. For example, it can accommodate all hair types and styles - including long hair, meaning no more hair kinks post-shower. A microfibre band means your hairline is kept dry (and let's be honest, there's nothing more annoying than water seeping under your standard shower cap creating a case of the frizzies). It's inner-material is soft and silky in order to keep your head from creasing or having an attack of the static.

Oh, and it's fully adjustable so you can get your perfect fit, as well as being environmentally friendly, and reversible.

The only catch? It's US$52, which is around $70 in Kiwi currency.

My breath may have caught in my throat when I read that... It's a lot of money for a shower cap, but it turns out All Caps is not just a shower cap. It can also be used during spa treatments and spray tans. You can sleep in it and wake up the next day with non-mussed up hair. And when you reverse the cap the plastic side can be used to help enhance hair treatments.

So really, it's a five-in-one product, and it's built to last a lot longer than your usual shower cap, which kind of makes the price justifiable.

Or does it? I'm on the convinced side of the fence (and I'm glad they don't ship to New Zealand or I'd have my credit card out in a flash after putting up with another case of the post-shower puffy hair.) But we want to know what you think... $70 for a multi-purpose shower cap. Is it an investment? Or is it something you could live without? Take our poll and tell us!

$70 is too steep for me!

If I had money to seriously burn then sure... but unlikely in this lifetime!

22nd January, 2018

I wouldn't pay $70 for this. I like how it can be used for treatments but sounds a bit overrated to me.

22nd January, 2018

I've never used a shower cap!!! I don't think I ever will, I've used a hear cap though for hair treatments they're amazing

21st January, 2018

Not at this price sorry,will stick to my cheaper one.

Hmmmm $70 not so sure but I do love shower caps and even my 5 year old daughter uses one when she showers and doesn't have to wash her hair lol

Nope. No way. Never. I like mussed up hair & just the right amount of shower moisture makes my hair sit in perfect ringlets, no product nor puddling around required. Anything which keeps heat in (including a plastic shopping bag) enhances hair treatments. I don't spray tan & none of the beauty treatments I have require a shower cap. No sale here.

i think it sounds great and would probably buy one! My poor wallet haha

8th January, 2018

I'm not really a shower cap user so $70 is definitely over the top.

7th January, 2018

Ummmm.........no lol. For that price I would expect it to make my hair look perfect ha ha ha

7th January, 2018

Oh I saw this being advertised last week when I was in New York. I wondered what made it so special. The only hotel miniature I took with me was the shower gel :P

7th January, 2018

Hmm I love that it is a multipurpose product but I simply cannot justify spending that amount on it.

7th January, 2018

you can get hair towel wraps that work fine

7th January, 2018

I always use a shower cap anyway, and for around $15-20 you can get some pretty luxurious ones. I don't think I could justify $70 though!!
