Women's Scrub Caps – Styles, Fit & Customisation Guide
Women's scrub caps are essential for hygiene and professionalism in medical settings, keeping hair secure during procedures while showcasing personal style. Our collection of Women's Scrub Caps is designed with women in mind, offering a range of styles that cater to different hair types—from delicate, long, and textured hair to shorter styles. Each cap is fully customisable with your choice of print, style, and size, ensuring you have the best scrub cap for women that meets your needs.
Bandana Style Scrub Cap (Classic Tie-Back)
The Bandana Style scrub cap is the classic “OR tie-back” design. It covers the entire head and ties at the back, with fabric extending over the ears for complete coverage. This cap is ideal for women with short to medium-length hair, offering a secure, adjustable fit. Customise your Bandana cap by choosing from a range of elegant solid colours or vibrant prints, and even add personalised embroidery for a unique touch.
You can also make it work with a low pony tail if you are operating in a field that lets you have your hair out.
Captain Style Scrub Cap (Skull Cap Design)
The Captain Style scrub cap is a fitted tie-back cap that sits above the ears, allowing for easy access to jewellery and hairstyling. Perfect for women with shorter hair or a minimalist style, its sleek design and adjustable tie-back make it an excellent choice when you’re looking for a lightweight yet secure cap that stays in place throughout long shifts.
Elastic Backed Scrub Cap (Slip-On Comfort)
This style features a built-in elastic at the back, eliminating the need for ties. It’s a slip-on design that covers the entire head, including the ears, and offers a secure, adjustable fit available in sizes from XS to 2XL. Ideal for women with medium to long hair, this cap allows you to easily pull your hair back or style it in a bun without any fuss.
Ponytail Scrub Cap (Pony Style)
Designed with an extended back, the Ponytail Scrub Cap is perfect for women who wear their hair in a ponytail or braid. It provides extra room to accommodate long or thick ponytails without requiring you to convert your hairstyle into a bun. Enjoy a secure and comfortable fit that keeps your hair neatly contained during every shift.
Bouffant Style Scrub Cap (Extra Roomy)
The Bouffant Style scrub cap offers a roomier, puffed fit, ideal for women with very long, voluminous, or textured hair. It covers the head and ears completely, ensuring your hair stays secure and contained. This style is especially suited for those who prefer a looser, more breathable cap that still meets the stringent hygiene standards of a medical environment.
Hijab Style Scrub Cap (Full Coverage Headscarf)
This unique design offers full head and neck coverage in a wrap-style reminiscent of a hijab. It’s perfect for women who prefer maximum coverage for modesty or simply desire an elegant, secure cap. While inspired by the hijab, this style is unisex and can be customised to suit anyone’s needs for comprehensive protection.
Orthopaedic Surgical Hood (Precision Coverage)
The Orthopaedic Surgical Hood is a premium, hooded design offering full head and neck coverage. Ideal for women working in high-sterility environments, this style provides comprehensive protection with an open face and secure ties or elastic around the neck. It ensures maximum coverage without compromising on mobility or comfort, making it a top choice for surgical professionals.
