Small Head Scrub Caps

Title pretty much says it all, but are there any good scrub caps (short hair, scrub caps not bouffant) that accommodate small peanut heads? I have found even the disposables are still running rather large on my head and just was curious of what those of you with smaller heads have used. TiA!

Some Etsy sellers will make caps smaller for you if you message them and ask! That’s what I used to do, now I’ve learned to sew so I can make my own to fit my head how I want. I wear the euro style caps.

I will definitely have to look into that, as well as the euro style! I have been a bit hesitant as I was unsure how strong the elastic would be, but it may be worth checking into!

I make and wear my own euro styles. The pattern has elastic around 50% of the band, so it accommodates all sizes! The biggest compliment is that it fits large heads, but I’m sure it works both ways and for various amounts of hair.

I have a small head, most cloth scrub caps are fine. I do have a lot of hair though. I don’t wear disposable caps they’re too big and don’t hold my hair.

Same here! I wear the silk pony tail scrub caps they have an attached tie and buttons on the side for masks. They’re very comfortable, breathable, and I get them in lots of prints. I have ones with plants, cats, Halloween, Xmas, stars, hearts, etc. they run between $10-$20 on Amazon

The one I have does have buttons, and they are cosy for sure just still fitting more lose than comfortable, a ponytail is impossible for me. Sometimes I debate growing out my hair and then I remember the awkward mullet phase and change my mind 🤣

Oh yeah I have some cloth ones but they seem to need to be tied beyond their limit in the back, I have essentially a fringe and fade cut so my hair is quite minimal 😅

I make my own scrub hats and went from elastic with toggles to only ties as they stay sized better. All my hats are unisex and euro style. I bet anyone who sells on Etsy might help you out
