In the range of CapeMantels this one stands out immediately for its combination of large coverage and sturdy protection. Here’s what you notice daily:

• Resistant to hair dye and bleach
• Water beads off the material
• Neck area doesn’t leak during washing and rinsing
• Extra-large size: approx. 137 x 152 cm
• Reinforced seams last long
• Press stud closure fits necks up to approx. 71 cm
• Lightweight yet strong nylon material
• Rarely needs ironing

1. Drape the capeMantel over the shoulders of your client or yourself.
2. Secure the press studs firmly at the neck.
3. Check that the neck edge fits snugly so no water or dye can drip down.
4. Use the cape when cutting, colouring, bleaching or washing.
5. After use, rinse any colour or bleach residue under the tap.
6. Wash the capeMantel in cold water in the machine and dry on low heat.

Do you also work with bleach or intense colour products? Then it’s good to protect yourself too. The Professional Bleach Proof Stylist Vest protects your own clothes at the same Manier as this capeMantel does for your client.

The material is 100% crinkle nylon, a fabric naturally water-repellent. Water and moisture are quickly guided away, keeping the client dry during washing and rinsing. The Essel The Crinkle Cape - Black also has a specially finished neck edge that prevents moisture from Sijpelling into the neck. You notice it immediately: no more wet clothing at the neck. The seams are reinforced with polyester threads, so the cape keeps its shape and protection even after intense use. As a professional cape, it resists aggressive chemicals too. A great investment that lasts for years.

Yes. The Essel The Crinkle Kapmantel Zwart is an all-purpose cape you can use for almost every treatment. It resists bleach, oxidative hair dye and other salon chemicals. You can use it for cutting, blow-drying, colouring, bleaching and wet treatments without needing to change the cape.

The cape measures about 137 x 152 cm. This is larger than many standard capeMantels. It fully covers clothes from shoulders to lap, even for taller people. That’s handy for wet treatments where water and dye could otherwise splash further.

Absolutely. The capeMantel is designed for salons, but a good cape for home hairdressers is exactly this: durable, easy to clean and resistant to dye and bleach. If you regularly colour or use bleach at home, this is much more reliable than a cheap disposable cape. A cape against hair dye stains that keeps working after dozens of washes is exactly what you need.

The Essel The Crinkle Kapmantel Zwart is a step above basic capeMantels from brands like Comair or Efalock. The Comair Crash CapeMantel is water-repellent and comfortable on the neck but lacks explicit bleach-proof properties and is smaller. The Efalock Emotion is antistatic and suitable for children but focuses more on cutting and blow-drying than colour and bleach treatments.

Choose Essel if you work regularly with bleach, intense colour products or wet treatments and want one cape that can handle everything. If you only need a basic model for cutting or blow-drying, a simpler option will do. Also check out other varieties from Essel, like the The Crinkle Cape Grey, The Crinkle Cape Green or The Crinkle Cape Purple. They are functionally the same, the only difference is colour.
