Satin-lined scrub cap: why it’s kinder to your hair
If you wear your scrub cap for hours on end, you notice it when you take it off: your hair comes out flat, tangled or frizzy. Especially if it’s curly, long or thick. A scrub cap lined with satin on the inside won’t work miracles, but it really helps: your hair glides instead of rubbing.
In short: A satin lining lets your hair glide instead of rubbing, which means fewer tangles and less frizz. Ideal for curly, long or thick hair.
Satin-lined scrub caps
What is a satin-lined scrub cap?
On the outside, it’s a fabric theatre cap like any other, print and all. On the inside, it has a full satin lining, which is what touches your hair for the whole shift. We make it in our style for long hair, the Dorothea, because it’s the one most often worn over long hair and curls.
Why satin is kinder to your hair
- Less friction: satin is smooth, so your hair glides over it instead of rubbing against the fabric.
- Fewer tangles: less rubbing means fewer knots during your shift.
- Less frizz: it helps reduce frizz, so your hair looks better when you take your cap off.
- Curls that keep their shape better: if you follow the Curly Girl Method, this is the kind of cap you’re looking for.
Who it’s for
- Curly, afro or wavy hair, which frizzes easily. You’ll find more tips in scrub caps for curly and afro hair.
- Long or very thick hair, worn in a bun inside the cap.
- Anyone who puts their cap on and takes it off several times a day and wants to finish the shift with presentable hair.
