RÜTE Wash Introduces a Shower Cap Designed for Crown Washing

For clients with hair extensions, wash day can be a lengthy process. As a result, many have adopted "top washing" or "crown washing," a social media-fueled technique that cleans only the scalp and crown area between full shampoos. The downside: this method often involves leaning over a sink in an awkward position before taking a separate shower.

RÜTE Wash was created to simplify the process. Billed as the first shower cap designed specifically for crown washing, the product allows users to cleanse the scalp and crown while keeping the mid-lengths and ends protected from water.

Product Features

According to the company, RÜTE Wash features:

  • A no-slip silicone grip to help keep the cap securely in place
  • A silk lining designed to protect the hair
  • Water-resistant construction
  • Multiple size options for a customized fit

The product is designed for extension wearers, but it may also appeal to clients who want to refresh the scalp between full wash days while minimizing unnecessary manipulation of the hair.
