Shower caps are a convenient accessory used to protect hair while bathing. They are also essential when applying hair treatments or dye. However, it can be frustrating when you run out of shower caps, or you want to save some money. Luckily, making a shower cap with a plastic bag is easy and affordable. Here are simple steps to follow.

Step 1: Choose a suitable plastic bag

The first thing to consider when making a shower cap with a plastic bag is the size of the bag. A large-sized plastic bag is the best option as it will fit all head sizes comfortably. Avoid using thin and flimsy bags as they might rip off during use. The plastic bag should also be clean and free of any holes or perforations.

Step 2: Prepare the plastic bag

The next step is to prepare the plastic bag before making the shower cap. Start by removing any handles or strings attached to the bag. If the bag has a sealed bottom, cut it off to make a single-layered piece of plastic. Spread the plastic bag flat and smooth out any wrinkles or creases.

Step 3: Make the shower cap

To make the shower cap, fold the plastic bag in half, lengthwise. This creates a double layer, which is good for stability. Then, fold the plastic bag again to create a rectangle shape. The two folded ends will become the front and back of the shower cap. Cut off any excess plastic along the bottom edge or around the rectangle shape to make a clean, even edge.

Next, grab the two short edges of the folded plastic and bring them together. Tie a knot around the edges, forming a circle. Make sure the knot is tight enough to hold the plastic bag in place but not too tight to damage the plastic. The knot should also be positioned at the center of the shower cap circle.

Finally, pull the shower cap over your head, ensuring it covers your hair completely. Adjust the placement of the knot so that it sits at the nape of your neck.

Step 4: Modify the shower cap

If you want to modify the shower cap, you can add elastic or ribbon to the edges. Simply cut a piece of elastic or ribbon that is long enough to fit around your head comfortably. Sew or tie the elastic or ribbon around the edges of the shower cap. This addition helps to keep the shower cap in place while you shower.

Conclusion

Making a shower cap with a plastic bag is a quick and easy DIY project. It is a cost-effective way to protect your hair while showering or applying hair dye. You only need a few items, such as a clean plastic bag, scissors, and some elastic or ribbon (optional). The process is straightforward, and you should be able to make a suitable shower cap in a few minutes. Remember to adjust the placement of the knot or elastic to ensure the shower cap fits comfortably on your head. With this simple guide, you don’t have to worry about running out of shower caps or spending money on expensive alternatives.
