Sometimes the loveliest recognition arrives when you least expect it.
Earlier this year, we received a phone call from someone at Prevention Australia asking us to send through the hairCAPsule™ logo.
Our first reaction was cautious curiosity.
Why did Prevention need our logo? Had we entered something? Had we sent them a product and somehow forgotten? And—if we were completely honest—was the call even genuine?
After a little investigating and a few excited conversations between us, we discovered the wonderful reason behind the request: our ‘SHIC’ Shower CAP had been selected by the editors of Prevention Australia for a Special Recognition Award in the 2026 Prevention Australia Hair Awards.
We hadn’t put ourselves forward for the award, which made the news feel especially meaningful. The ‘SHIC’ Shower CAP had been independently discovered and recognised by the Prevention Australia editorial team.
What began as a slightly suspicious phone call quickly became a very proud moment for our small Australian brand.
The Prevention editors described the ‘SHIC’ Shower CAP as:
“This is not your average shower cap.”
And that is precisely why we created it.
We wanted to reimagine the traditional shower cap and create something that women would genuinely enjoy wearing—something practical and protective, but also thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented.
With its chic turban-inspired silhouette, waterproof recycled outer fabric, quick-dry lining and secure, comfortable fit, the ‘SHIC’ Shower CAP helps protect blow-dries, curls and sleek styles without the leaks, tight elastic or tell-tale marks associated with an ordinary shower cap.
As the two women behind hairCAPsule™, we have always believed that everyday essentials can be functional, beautiful and more consciously made. Receiving this recognition from the editors of Prevention Australia feels like a wonderful affirmation of that belief.
To the Prevention Australia editorial team: thank you for discovering hairCAPsule™ and recognising our ‘SHIC’ Shower CAP.
And to every customer who has supported our brand, recommended our products or made hairCAPsule™ part of their haircare ritual—thank you. Every order, review and kind word has helped bring our vision to life.
What a delightful surprise—and what an honour.
