Being a curly haired girl the shower can be my worst nightmare. Any curly haired girl knows that less is more when it comes to washing it but my new stepped up gym routine means I need to shower more than I need to wash my hair. My hair frizzes at the mere sign of moisture never mind getting wet so I have been in a bit of a predicament… then I was asked to try the new Save The Blow Dry shower cap. Could my prayers have been answered?
Save The Blow Dry is a new shower cap with a double layer promising to keep out humidity and condensation that can flatten your hair leaving it dry and bouncy. The cap has a phalate free plastic covering and a micro weave towel lining which is super absorbent. This cap actually has two uses as you can turn it inside out (with the plastic now the lining) to use when treating your hair to an intensive hair treatment mask. I’d usually wrap my hair in a towel but this is much less messy and means I can stay in the shower whilst the mask works it’s magic.
My Save The Blow Dry is turquoise with a hair accessory design all over making it pretty to look at. Unfortunately I don’t look pretty in it but then no one else sees me in the shower so it isn’t a major issue!
The plastic is thick and great quality, no ripping is going to happen here. The cap is comfy to wear with a stretchy band so should adjust to any size head. I have quite thin hair so had to pin it up before putting the cap on. This wasn’t great for me as it was an extra step I needed to do before putting it on but it does show that people with thicker hair will also be able to use this product.
The soft micro weave towel on the inside really does work! I used this after I had straightened my hair as a test. The slightest hint of moisture and my hair would have kinked all over the place but not with this! It allowed me to have a shower after a gym session without having to spend hours drying my hair afterwards. Perfect for those early morning gym visits before work.
The branding is cute with a clothes style label on the side. You can also get the cap in pink which is covered in pretty bows. It retails at £14.95 which I do think is a little steep for a shower cap. Having seen the benefits I would buy one but then I don’t think I would have bought one had I not tried it first, if that makes sense! I would definitely recommend one if you have frizz prone hair though and need to shower more than you need to wash it. Let me know what you think!

I remember reviewing this a while back (before the blue slightly cooler looking one came out) and I was astonished at how well it worked and that it was able to fit over my giant mass of frizz in the first place! Ah, no piccy of you wearing it – spoil sport! ;0)
