Description
This baby shampoo cap is a lightweight EVA foam visor with four adjustable fasteners, sized 45 to 55cm to suit ages 0 to 6, that keeps shampoo and water out of a child's eyes, ears and mouth, for $12.99 in pink, blue or yellow. The foam does not absorb water and washes clean with soapy water.
Hair washing is where a lot of children decide baths are the enemy, and it usually traces back to one bad experience with shampoo in the eyes. After that you get the arched back, the screaming, and a parent trying to rinse a head that is refusing to tip. A visor changes the physics of it: the water runs off the brim and away from the face, so the child never has the moment that started the fear in the first place.

Why This Fixes Bath Time Battles
-
Four adjustable fasteners - a visor that is loose slides and lets water past, and one that is tight gets pulled off, so the adjustment range is what makes it work.
-
Foam that does not absorb water - it stays light on the head through the wash and dries quickly instead of going soggy.
-
45 to 55cm span - covers newborn through to about six, so it lasts years rather than months.
-
Protects eyes, ears and mouth - ear water is what leads to complaints of soreness, and this keeps it out along with the shampoo.
-
Works for haircuts too - the same brim keeps cut hair off the face, which is useful well past the bath-fear stage.
How Does a Shampoo Cap Keep Water Out of Eyes?
It is a brimmed visor with an open crown. The hair goes through the opening so it can be washed, while the brim projects out over the forehead and directs rinse water outward and away from the face. Four fasteners let you set it snug enough that water cannot track down between the cap and the skin.
What Head Size Does It Fit?
45 to 55cm head circumference, which is why it is rated for 0 to 6 years. Measure around the head just above the ears if you want to be certain before ordering, particularly at the top of that range.
Can It Be Used for Haircuts?
Yes. Plenty of parents use it exactly that way, because the brim that keeps water off the face also keeps clipped hair out of eyes and off the neck. It is a common second use once a child has grown out of needing it in the bath.
Who Buys These
Parents of a toddler who has started fighting hair washing, which is most of them at some point between one and three. Families managing a child with sensory sensitivity, where water on the face is a genuine problem rather than a preference. Parents cutting hair at home. It is also a frequent baby shower inclusion, because it is inexpensive and it solves a problem every new parent eventually meets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it made of?
EVA foam, chosen because it is light, durable and does not soak up water.
What sizes does it adjust between?
45 to 55cm head circumference, using four fasteners.
How do I clean it?
Wash it with soapy water and let it dry. It does not absorb water, so it dries quickly.
Which colours can I choose?
Pink, blue or yellow.
Is it suitable for a newborn?
It is rated from 0 years, but a newborn's head is at the very bottom of the size range and a newborn is usually washed differently. Most families start using it once the child is sitting up in the bath.
Will it stay on if the child pulls at it?
The fasteners hold it in place during a normal wash. A determined toddler can remove anything, and it is designed to come off easily rather than trap.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, including regional and remote addresses.
