A nylon cape, described as soft, lightweight, water-repellent and hard-wearing, with a neck closure that adjusts from a small child to an adult.

Material is the whole specification in this family. Nylon and coated fabrics let the clippings slide off when the cape is lifted; a woven cotton holds them in the weave and deposits them on the floor later. Everything else — the pattern, the color — is decoration.

The listing states it is easy to clean and quick to dry, and covers cutting, coloring and perming. What it does not give is a single dimension, so those fields stay empty.

What people ask about this

Does a cape actually make a difference?

To where the hair ends up, yes. A coated or water-repellent material sheds clippings when you lift it; a woven fabric holds them and puts them on the floor when you shake it out. It is the difference between a haircut and an afternoon of cleaning.

What size is it?

The listing does not say, and this page will not invent a figure. The neck is stated as adjustable from children to adults; the cape's own dimensions are not published.
