So I would never in my life think of washing my locks with a shower cap. Even when they were babies. ButI just watched a youtube vid of someone talking about using one.
It stuck out in my mind, because she wore the cap in the wideo to show how to wear it and lather the soap on. I don't get it. The way to keep locks clean is to clean your scalp, not your locks. As you rinse the soap will rinse through your locks. That's all the contact with soap the body of your locks need. When you wear a shower cap, you are hiding your scalp, and then all of the soap is absorbed into your locks. Rinsing will take an age because it'll be like trying to get all the soap out of a sponge. It's really hard. And when you can't squeeze your locks, because they are under a cap, it makes it even harder. So why would you even think about using a shower cap?
Granted, the person in the video was also using wax and other products, and just had twists, her hair won't lock up anyway, but the shower cap really caught my attention.
