In the range of capes, this one stands out right away with its combination of wide coverage and strong protection. Here’s what you’ll notice every day:

• Resistant to hair dye and bleaches
• Water repels from the material
• Neck area prevents leaks during washing and rinsing
• Extra large size: approx. 137 x 152 cm
• Reinforced seams for long-lasting use
• Snap closure fits necks up to approx. 71 cm
• Lightweight yet strong nylon material
• Hardly ever needs ironing

1. Place the cape over the shoulders of the client or yourself.
2. Secure the snap buttons tightly at the neck.
3. Check that the neck edge fits well to prevent water or dye from dripping down.
4. Use the cape when cutting, colouring, bleaching or washing.
5. Rinse off any colour or bleach residue under the tap after use.
6. Wash the cape in cold water in the washing machine and dry at a low temperature.

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 in the same way this cape does for your client.

The material is 100% crinkle nylon, a fabric that is 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 to prevent moisture from seeping into the neck. You’ll notice this immediately: wet clothes around the neck are a thing of the past. The seams are reinforced with polyester threads so the cape keeps its shape and protection even after heavy use. As a professional cape, it resists aggressive chemicals. A smart investment that lasts for years.

Yes. The Essel The Crinkle Kapmantel Zwart is an all-purpose cape you can use for nearly all treatments. It resists bleaches, oxidative hair dye and other salon chemicals. So you can use it for cutting, blow-drying, colouring, bleaching and wet treatments without having to change the cape.

The cape measures approx. 137 x 152 cm. That’s larger than many standard capes. This means it fully covers clothes even on taller people, from shoulders to lap. This is helpful during wet treatments where water and dye may splash further.

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

The Essel The Crinkle Kapmantel Zwart is a step above basic capes from brands like Comair or Efalock. The Comair Crash Cape is water-repellent and comfortable at the neck, but has no explicit bleach proof properties and is smaller. The Efalock Emotion is anti-static and suitable for children, but focuses more on cutting and blow-drying than on colour and bleach treatments.

Choose the Essel if you often work with bleach, intense colour products or wet treatments and want one cape that can handle it all. If you only want an entry-level cape for cutting or blow-drying, a simpler option suffices. Check out other Essel variants like Essel, such as the The Crinkle Cape Grey, The Crinkle Cape Green or The Crinkle Cape Purple. Functionally they are identical; only the colour differs.
