A scrub cap is worn by placing it on your head, ensuring the back is positioned correctly, then tightening the ties at the back of your neck to secure it comfortably. You can adjust the cap to fit snugly.
Putting on a Scrub Cap: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here's how to correctly wear a scrub cap, drawing from practical experience:
-
Center the Cap: Begin by holding the scrub cap and placing it on your head, ensuring the center of the cap aligns with the crown of your head.
-
Adjust the Back: Position the back of the cap correctly; this usually has a slightly longer or more rounded section.
-
Tie the Strings: Take the strings at the back and tie them in a knot at the nape of your neck, adjusting the tightness for a comfortable and secure fit. Avoid tying it too tightly, as this can be uncomfortable.
-
Optional Twist: As shown in the video reference, a final twist of the cap after it's secured can improve the overall fit and neatness. This step is optional.
Tips for a Perfect Fit
- Material matters: Different scrub cap materials may have varying degrees of stretch. A snug fit is generally preferable, but overly tight caps may be uncomfortable.
- Hair Length: If you have long hair, consider tying your hair back before putting on the cap to prevent it from being visible or interfering with the cap's fit.
- Speed vs. Accuracy: As noted in the reference video, a quick, slightly less perfect fit is acceptable if you're in a hurry.
Types of Scrub Caps
There are many types of scrub caps, including bouffant caps, and caps with different tie styles. The method of putting them on remains largely consistent, but the final appearance may differ.
