I needed cheap shower caps so got some from Amazon but they did me dirty – I look like Megamind every time I want a wash
A WOMAN has left people in stitches after her disastrous Amazon order left her looking like Megamind.
Beauty lover Mrs Clark took to TikTok to share the epic fail, after her brand new shower caps from Amazon arrived significantly larger than expected.
The woman, who describes herself as ”middle-aged, menopausal and mean”, explained that whilst she doesn’t wash her tresses every day, she showers on a daily basis.
As Mrs Clark didn’t have a shower cap, this meant her locks would get wet whenever she gave herself a wash – so, she decided to order some from the online retailer.
Selling for an affordable $4.99 (£3.74) for a pack of two, the woman thought she’d managed to get hands on the ultimate deal.
But little did Mrs Clark know that she’d get more than she’d bargained for, sharing the hilarious flop on her page.
In hysterics at how ginormous the caps were, the woman modelled the massive baby pink shower essential on her head, unable to contain her laughter.
”I look like I’m about to bake,” the online shopper was amused by the cheap buy, thinking it made her look like a pastry chef.
”This is the biggest shower cap I’ve ever seen – and I’ve got two of them.”
Needless to say, the epic fail has taken the platform by storm, winning Mrs Clark close to a whopping 685k views in just one day.
As thousands gave the video a like, hundreds flocked to comments to share their thoughts, with many posting their best jokes.
One, for example, compared the woman to a popular animated supervillain from a 2010 movie.
”Shower cap, Megamind edition.”
Another chuckled, writing: ”Ohhh remember the old hairdryers that had a hood connected to a hose.”
Someone else had found their perfect shower cap, demanding the woman to drop the details.
”Can you link these? I need those, I have long hair & can’t find any that fit!”
”it’s like Strawberry Shortcake or something,” a fourth chimed in, left in stitches.
”imagine to open the door like this,” someone else penned.
How often should you be showering?
A dermatologist has argued that we don't need to shower everyday.
The sweet spot is actually around every two to three days, depending on your lifestyle.
Dr. Mary Stevenson, assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Health in New York, US claimed that how often you shower should depend on a number of personal factors.
Because after all, personal hygiene is just that – personal.
These factors include your skin, age and activity level.
Dr Stevenson suggested “you should be showering, bathing or cleansing yourself every two to three days”.
However, if you’re a gym bunny working up a sweat everyday, then you should be hosing yourself down after each workout.
Do you need to wash shower caps?
It’s true – shower caps can get smelly. When you put any material against your scalp it will absorb any oil from your skin and tresses.
According to the experts at Laminated Cotton Shop, you should wash your shower cap every few weeks to keep it smelling fresh and clean.
Laminated cotton shower caps can go straight in the washing machine with your regular clothes.
