I just got back from a much-needed vacation in Mexico, and I finally had a chance to slow down and recharge.
But one night in my hotel room, I found myself doing what founders apparently do even on vacation: scrolling through comments and customer emails.
And I came across one that stopped me in my tracks: What’s so special about TheHairbrella Shower Cap?
I was gagged for a second (I’m sensitive about my stuff* 😅). But then I realized—I take for granted that most people only know us for our Swim Cap or Classic Rain Hat.
What you might not know is that our highest-rated product of all time is actually our Shower Cap. I call it the Rolls Royce of shower caps because, truly, she is that girl.
When pitching Hairbrella to investors, I used to say:
👉 “You wouldn’t step in the shower without a shower cap, so why would you step out in the rain without something that insulates your hair from moisture and humidity?”
After getting the rain hat off the ground, I realized the average shower cap is just as flimsy and cheaply made as those old plastic rain bonnets. The “hair protection” industry really tried it—throwing a piece of plastic and elastic together and calling it a day.
But Hairbrella exists for this very reason—to reinvent essentials that should’ve been better all along.
