Dual Purpose Shower Cap

Abstract

A dual purpose shower cap that includes a tubular shaped outer layer. The top of the outer layer can be a closed structure or an open structure. The outer layer is waterproofed/repels water, and an inner layer that correspondingly fits inside/laminated to the inside of the outer layer. The inner and outer layers form a hair cover. The inner layer absorbs water. The dual purpose shower cap is compact and ingeniously combines a waterproofed shower cap and a drying cap in one design for both showering and drying. The dual purpose shower cap allows hair to dry rapidly without the need to blow dry the hair separately.
