The Shampoo Hat is a pseudo bathing cap worn to keep shampoo suds away from the face.
The hat is most commonly worn by and associated with children as adults are considered experienced enough with cleaning their hair to know how to avoid shampoo suds making contact with their eyes without the use of a hat.
Trivia[]
- In the semi-canonical series Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou 4-koma, Kimihito once tried gifting a shampoo hat to Mero once Ms Smith dumped the Mermaid on his doorstep. Mero declined it, as the hat would cause significant drag if she were to swim while wearing it, causing her to get more tired easily while swimming. But Mero misunderstood the actual purpose of the gift, as Kimihito actually wanted to give her the hat so that no shampoo would run into her gills while washing and not that she should wear the hat while swimming.[1]
