Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a satin lined scrub cap?
Satin lining creates a smooth, low-friction surface that prevents hair breakage, reduces frizz, and helps maintain protective hairstyles like braids, locs, twists, and extensions. Cotton alone can absorb moisture and cause friction damage — satin lining eliminates this, keeping hair healthier during long shifts.
Can I get satin lining on a printed scrub cap?
Yes. Any of our 500+ printed scrub cap designs can be made with satin lining — simply select the satin lining option when ordering. Black and silver satin colours are available. This means you can have your favourite pattern with built-in hair protection.
How do I wash a satin lined scrub cap?
Machine wash at 60°C following NHS guidelines, just like our standard caps. Turn the cap inside out before washing to protect the satin lining. The satin is durable and designed to maintain its smooth finish through repeated washes. Avoid tumble drying on high heat.
Is satin lining good for natural hair?
Absolutely. Satin lined scrub caps are particularly popular with healthcare professionals with natural hair, Afro-textured hair, braids, locs, and extensions. The satin reduces friction that causes breakage and frizz, and helps retain moisture in your hair throughout 12+ hour shifts.
What colours are available for satin lined scrub caps?
We offer 30+ plain colours for the cotton exterior, from classic navy and black to vibrant teal and burgundy. The satin lining is available in black or silver. For printed designs with satin lining, choose from any of our 500+ patterns.
