10 Best Shower Caps UK 2023 | Argos, Eco Life and More

If we were buying a shower cap, it's safe to say it would be this one.  When it comes to practicality, this cap has a large size which should comfortably fit most heads and hairstyles. It's crafted from triple-layer 100% waterproof PEVA and even comes with a plush terry cloth lining. Plus, it's completely reusable!

Although we've opted for the black and white polka dots, there are 7 other options to choose from with different colours and designs. So we're confident you'll find one to match your style. 

This option from Betty Dain has pretty much everything you could want. It has practical features, such as a waterproof nylon outer layer and a cosy terry cloth lining, combined with a fashionable leopard print design.

We do have some qualms about the lack of accurate measurements. That said, it's supposedly oversized to fit all lengths of hair. It may be a gamble if you've got an especially big mop, but it is very cool.

Here is our top pick when it comes to disposable shower caps. Although they have largely the same characteristics as the other options lower on the list, there is one thing that sets this pack of 100 caps apart. 

If you're looking for a reliable bulk pack, you can't go wrong. The company that produces these shower caps has over 1,000 positive reviews. And from our experience, if you can gain this amount of indisputable feedback, you've got to be on to a winner! 

There are three factors we love about this shower cap. Firstly, it's massive, so it's ideal for those with long, thick curly or coily hair. Secondly, it's one of our cheapest options coming in just under £2. And finally, it's reusable. Talk about a bargain! 

There's nothing special in the terms of design. However, what it lacks in frills, this shower cap makes up for in practicality and comfort. 

EcoTools are known for creating bath accessories that not only aid in your daily routine, but ensure the environment doesn't suffer in the process. One such product is this shower cap, which is made from recycled plastic with a cotton lining for additional shower safety. 

On top of this, we really like the stylish design. The graphics remind us slightly of the great British artist David Hockney, particularly how he paints swimming pools with bold lines. 

With a large 44 cm diameter, these disposable caps are likely to fit most people unless you have very thick or curly hair. They're made from strong plastic and are robust and durable, so you'll be able to enjoy your shower without worrying about what's on your head. 

As with other higher quality disposables, these can double as a versatile household item should you find yourself needing to temporarily transport some dirty football boots or carry out other mucky tasks. 

The obvious selling point of this pack of shower caps is that you get three for less than the price of one. All three shower caps are completely reusable, so you can have one in each bathroom if you're so lucky, or keep one specifically for travel.

Each cap comes with a choice of different coloured polka dots, so you'll feel dainty no matter which one you decide to wear. However, they are quite small, so be careful if you have long hair as it might not all fit in. 

This cap from Argos brings a whole new meaning to the term bridal shower! Decorated with text "Miss to Mrs" this shower cap comes complete with a decorative veil. Plus, it's reusable, so you can continue to re-live your big day as many times as you like! 

We have some reservations over the material though, as this is made from 100% polyester which is water-resistant, not waterproof. For that reason, this may be better as a novelty purchase, rather than something to be used when getting ready for the big day. 

If you fancy adding a bit of the tropics, and a bit of glamour to your shower, then this Flamingo design from Bodylife could do just the trick! More than just a pretty face, the cap is also dual-layered, with a PEVA inside coating for additional protection. 

Coming in at 27cm, we imagine this will stretch to at least double this size, which should be more than enough for most adults. Although, some have commented that the frill layer can be slightly annoying, and it contributes little to the safety of your hair. 

Made from high-quality transparent plastic, these disposable shower caps are guaranteed not to tear during use. They come with a tight, elasticated opening, which will be perfect for children and most adult heads. 

Be that as it may, the manufacturers say 'most' adult heads and then don't provide the measurements, which does raise concerns regarding their actual size. Still, if you have a smaller head size and are looking for a few disposables, they're of good quality overall.
