Claims20
A hair washing shower cap comprising:
- a flexible exterior sheet material of substantially elliptical shape having a periphery;
- an absorbent interior sheet material laminated onto said exterior material, such that there is complete contact and adhesion of said interior material to said exterior material
- an elastic band attached near said periphery;
- and
- a solution on said interior material, said cap configured to be positioned on a head of a user such that as said exterior sheet material is touched by a user, said interior sheet material contacts the person's head.
A method for cleaning the hair without rinsing, the steps comprising:
- laminating an exterior flexible sheet material with an absorbent interior sheet material such that there is complete contact and adhesion of the interior sheet material to the exterior to the exterior sheet material;
- cutting the laminated interior and exterior material to a size and form sufficient to cover a substantial portion of a user's head;
- forming a periphery having a length on the materials during said cutting;
- attaching an elastic band near the periphery whereby in a non-stretched position the band compresses the length of the periphery;
- placing a solution onto the interior material;
- stretching the elastic band;
- placing the interior material over and touching with a user's head;
- allowing the elastic band to restrict onto the user's head;
- touching the exterior material with the hands of a user such that the interior material touches the person's head;
- stretching the elastic band;
- and
- removing the interior material, exterior material, solution, and elastic band from the user's head.
A shower cap for washing hair, said cap comprising:
- a sheet of material comprising an interior absorbent layer, an exterior substantially water resistant layer, and a periphery, said interior layer bonded to said exterior layer such that there is complete contact and adhesion of said interior layer to said exterior layer;
- and
- an elastic band attached near said periphery, said cap configured to be positioned on a head of a person such that said interior layer touches the person's head as said exterior layer is touched by a user.
A method of using a shower cap including a sheet of material having an interior sheet material, an exterior sheet material, a periphery, an elastic band attached near the periphery, and a liquid contained within the shower cap, the interior sheet material comprising an absorbent material and the exterior sheet material substantially impervious to fluids, said method comprising:
- positioning the cap on a head of a person such that the interior sheet material touches the head, the cap configured such that the interior sheet material is bonded to the exterior sheet material such that there is complete contact and adhesion of the interior sheet material to the exterior sheet material ;
- and
- touching the exterior sheet material with hands of a user to wash the head of the person.
