These shower caps are actually stylish af!

When you think about bath time, you probably think about all the luxe shower essentials, like a scented body wash or a pretty bath bomb. I can bet your mind doesn't jump to another, slightly less exciting shower must-have: the shower cap. But, the best shower caps can help you maintain your hair style you spent hours of time (or lots of money) on, keeping it away from the humidity and moisture of your shower.

Translation? You'll have less frizz, and just think about the time you'll save now that you're not having to redo your hair post-shower!

Washing your hair everyday can eliminate some of the good oils your hair needs, so a shower cap is the best way to keep humidity away from your strands until your next wash day. When you think of shower caps, your mind may jump to something your grandma used to wear, but shower caps have become more stylish than ever (promise!).

To quote grandma, the proof is in the pudding, though. Ahead, find the best tried-and-tested, top-rated, and even stylish shower caps you can shop right now.

Available in the cutest prints like this pastel pink floral design, Kitsch's shower caps are designed to fit most head sizes and hair lengths. The elastic band it's designed with provides comfy stretch to ensure the cap won't be uncomfortably tight when you wear it.

Rave review: "I really like how thick this cap is and it has elastic in the back so it gives good stretch, but still holds all of your hair up without it being overly tight."

Ever thrown on a shower cap only to end up frustrated because it shifts out of place, leaving your baby hairs to get wet and frizz up? Never again with the Shhhower Cap. It's designed with a non-slip silicone grip that maintains it in place to keep your edges dry.

Rave review: "I know this is expensive, but it is worth it. It is the last one you'll ever buy. It is sturdy, fits well, and stays clean."

If you want a shower cap with a snug fit, this collection is your pick. It's made with two layers designed to keep your hair dry and water out. Plus, with four shower caps for less than $12, it's a great deal if you don't plan on wearing one every single day. Since it's a little on the smaller end, it makes a great pick for those with shorter hair.

Rave review: "I’m guilty of always using the cheap, thin plastic shower cap that lost its elasticity long ago. Finally, I decided to treat myself to some nice shower caps—and these are it! They feel so luxurious, and cover all my hair."

If you're in the market for a new shower cap, why not stock up on all your cleaning essentials at once? This pamper kit comes with makeup-removing cloths, a headband to hold your hair back, and body polish, in addition to a pretty shower cap that's made with a waterproof polka dot lining. It makes a great gift.

Rave review: "Great quality products that are affordable. Plus, the gift set is cheaper than buying the products individually."

If you've ever struggled to fit your braids or other delicate hairstyles into your shower cap, here's your solution. This extra large shower cap is comfy to wear, fits all hair types and styles, and features an adjustable drawstring you can play around with for a customizable fit.

Rave review: "My daughter has crochet braids that are very thick and down to her waist. She has 4C hair which translates to a lot of braids! Her ponytail when all the hair is gathered up is about 7” in diameter. In the past, we used large plastic bags to cover her hair, because nothing fit, but that wasn’t ideal. I bought her this and she really loves it. She can put it on herself and it gets the hair up off her back which makes scrubbing easier. Easy to use, dries quickly, keeps hair dry and out of the way."

If you like to make conscious, earth-friendly purchasing decisions, this shower cap is the pick for you. It's made with recycled materials, organic cotton, and even includes a reusable travel and storage case.

Rave review: "I purchased this item because it works so well to keep my hair dry and it's soft and actually doesn't feel like plastic. It will uphold many uses for when you take a shower."

If you're ready to make the most of your deep conditioner, you need to add a thermal heat cap to your beauty closet. Heat helps the conditioner penetrate the hair follicle better. Simply microwave the shower cap for about a minute to provide your hair with 30 minutes of gentle heating.

Rave review: "Love it! This is so much easier than using my hooded dryer because I can walk around with it on my head. I'm a busy mom, so this is perfect for me since it's hard to find the time to do weekly deep conditioning."

This is the silk pillowcase of shower caps. The soft satin lining ensures your hair isn't up against any rough surfaces while it's tucked away, preventing breakage and damage. The shower cap is also made with an adjustable drawstring, so you can loosen or tighten it for the perfect fit.

Rave review: "The days of using those silly little plastic ones and having to double up on them are behind me! This keeps all my hair dry and it’s really beautiful too! The black silk against the purple is really pretty."

If your skin is not a friend to latex, Grace & Company makes their shower caps with a latex-free, breathable, and durable fabric that'll keep your hair dry without making it sweat. It's also designed with an adjustable bow you can toy around with to make the cap tighter if you want.

Rave review: "This cap is excellent. Kept my long hair dry. I was even able to cover my ears and listen to my podcast in the shower. Absolutely no water got in. Very grateful—I have eczema on my hairline so I can’t always wash my hair. I plan on purchasing another, so while one cap is wet & drying then I have a dry back up."

This three-pack means you keep one at home, use one for travel, and then have a back-up should you need a shower cap for something else, like cooking or cleaning. Goody shower caps are designed to accommodate most hair volumes without feeling overly-tight on your head, too.

Rave review: "I have used these simple but sturdy shower caps for years. They are big enough without being one of those pouffy bouffant types that drive me crazy. After all, I just need them to take a shower, nothing fancy needed, and these do the job."

Ok, there's no rule you that says you can only wear your shower cap in the shower. Need to run errands in the rain? Throw this on to keep your hair from getting wet. The bow and pretty print make it fashionably suited to head outdoors with you.

Rave review: "This shower cap is adorable and gave me vintage island vibes! I felt so stylish that I forgot I was even wearing a shower cap lol. It kept all of my hair tucked away and I didn't have to worry about getting anything wet, so job well done!"

A shower cap is primarily used to keep your hair dry in a humid ot wet environment like the shower. This will allow your hair to retain its style by locking out moisture that can frizz it up. You can also use shower caps for things like deep conditioning, or keeping your hair dry in other settings, like a sauna.

When shopping for a shower cap, you want to keep in mind what size you want it to be. Do you have longer hair, shorter, a style that requires more space? Taking your answer in to consideration will help you narrow down your options, as shower caps do come in different sizes.

You want to make sure what you get is snug so you don't leave room for water or humidity to creep in and frizz up your hair. But, you also don't want something that's so tight you cringe every time you use it.

Some shower caps are so delicate you can only hand wash them, while others you can simply throw in the wash. Because shower caps are always getting wet, some of them may be prone to mold growth unless the shower cap specifically boasts antibacterial properties.

So, when shopping for a shower cap, you want to keep your preferences in mind for how often and how it needs to be washed.

Yes, shower caps are primarily used to keep your hair dry while you are bathing or showering, but they can also be used to protect your hair from odor and sweat while you're at home cooking or cleaning. Before deciding on a shower cap, make sure you can use it for any activity you'll be throwing it on for.
