This is cute and does what it says it will do, but it is also very tight in the elastic. I got it so that I can lounge around in the bathtub without my hair getting wet, but have found I need to cut my bathtime short or I start to get a headache. When I take this off after a 15-minute soak, there is a deep red ring on my head. I am keeping it for emergencies but am not thrilled with it.

I love this so much! My hair is dyed and I cannot wash it everyday. I have been using disposable shower caps but unfortunately they were too small so my hair would not fit completely into the shower caps. This one is huge! There's so much space for hair in there, and the band is nice and tight so no water will get in, and no hair will get out!

I will often skip the hair-wash, sometimes to save time in the shower, but mostly because my hair tends to behave a little nicer when it's had a day or two to relax. I'd been using the disposable, 20 for $5 pack of shower caps from Sally Beauty for years (well, using the same one until it managed to get a hole somehow), and for whatever reason recently decided to get a nice, durable, stylish shower cap. I went back and forth between several, and ended up choosing this Betty Dain Fashionista cap because it was Prime, plastic lined, and seemed to be of decent quality.

There are several collections of the Betty Dain caps available, and they have different shapes, different features, etc. Some are terry lined, some look bunchier at the top, etc. This review pertains to the **PEVA lined Fashionista collection**.

* This shower cap IS quality. It's made of a nice fabric outer, and a thick plastic inner. There aren't any loose threads, weird seams, anything like that. It doesn't feel flimsy at all, and the plastic inside is sturdy, but not too rigid, sharp, or "crunkly". It does NOT make that plastic-bag-on-your-head noise when hit by water.

* The cap fits really well, even with my hair bunched up underneath it, and is pretty comfortable. For reference, my head is not too large (a size S motorcycle helmet) but I have LOTS of hair (it will touch my lap when I'm sitting) and will stay in place when washing my face, etc. This is very important, the cheapie plastic ones tend to slide around from the weight of the water.

* Water that lands on the outside of the cap will bead up and run off. The surface of it was barely wet when I got out of the shower. I didn't totally douse it while in there, but it definitely gets wet- the cheapies are always full of little water pools that drip all over the floor when I reach for the towel.

* The "ring around the forehead" from the elastic is not as prominent as with the cheapie shower caps. This is likely due to the fabric being doubled where the elastic is. There's still a mark, but it's WAY less visible and disappears quickly. The elastic area is a cushy and pretty comfy, but the tradeoff is that the thickness of the elastic pushed my ears out a little more than normal. I didn't deduct a star for this, because I probably wouldn't've noticed had I been wearing contacts, but since my glasses were on at the time I noticed that the ear-space/arm/elastic ratio was a little tight.

I can't see myself needing to replace this cap anytime soon, but as of now I'd definitely purchase another Betty Dain.

This shower cap was exactly as expected. It was large enough to hold medium length hair, cute, and well made. See photos for my hair length. I'm glad I bought this one.
