For when you’re tired of hearing the “I have to wash my hair that night” excuse

Talk about it in our Forums

Do you ever walk through a store and some little item that seems so odd yet brilliant catches your eye? Even if you are intrigued you certainly don’t purchase it. I mean how can you explain the buy when you’re only getting it out of curiosity? It’s packaged for really old people!!!

Enter in the “No-Rinse Shampoo/Conditioner Cap”. No, it’s not a shower cap, it’s a shower cap that has a special chemical inside that after 20 seconds in the microwave (or room temperature), you place it on your head, massage your hair for 1-3 minutes depending on length and voila- CLEAN. No rinsing required.

I was both skeptical and impressed so I bought one for $4.99 (I searched it online and found it cheaper). My hair is relatively thick, medium long and colored. If it could pass the test on me, it was a winner.

  • Seriously, think of all the possibilities should it work:
    Camping/hiking
  • Long trips on planes, trains, cars, space shuttles, buggies, boats, being locked in a trunk…
  • Late nights out and you don’t have time for a shower in the morning (pop on the cap and presto- clean hair… just pull it back in a ponytail or use a dab of gel).
  • If someone uses the excuse “Sorry, I have to wash my hair…” just toss them a cap and say, “I’ll pick you up at 8!”
  • Power outage
  • Bed ridden due to illness/broken leg/awesome new video game
  • A zombie uprising
  • You plan on visiting Chicken, Alaska

The results are in. My picky hair that also has my scalp itchy from most products actually has me feeling refreshed. It seems clean, conditioned and light and I found no hair dye in the cap (which is a good thing!)

Combine this with the No-Rinse Bath Cloths and you can face the apocalypse feeling fresh!

    I vote we collect a huge number of these and send them to the residents of Chicken, Alaska. No more outdoor showers!

    I can think of a lazy, fat, dirty kitty in my life that could use some freshening…

    I was actually wondering as I took the cap off my head if I could just toss my cat in there.

    I refrained and did find there are things out there for pets too http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/product_detail.asp?pf_id=11098402&dept_id=237&brand_id=360&Page=

    Unless dirty kitty is a pet name for a significant other, then you might want to stick with the cap.

    I can tell that this is not the first time at all that you mention the topic. Why have you decided to touch it again?
