The product photos show two different capes. This one is the shorter one and it has velcro, not buttons. Velcro is preferable to me because it’s faster to fasten. The velcro could catch on certain types of clothing, so that’s one downside. The cape is very thin and lightweight. It has a loop in the back and one at the end of the velcro closure, which you can use to hang it with. Since it’s thin, it can be folded up pretty small and tucked away easily, not taking up much room.
This cape is water-resistant, but not waterproof. I tested a small amount of water on it, and it rolls off, but when I pool the water in one spot, it soaks through slowly. I was hoping to be able to not only use this for trimming my own hair, but as something to use to keep my clothing clean when I dye my hair. Unfortunately I don’t trust it with hair dye. It isn’t really meant for that anyway. It is, however, great at keeping hair off of my clothing when I do my own hair trims or cuts.
I like this cape because it’s very affordable (currently at $4.99), super lightweight, easy to use, and easy to store. It’s simple, and I like that. It doesn’t feel cheap either. I think it’s great for hair trims, and it would be great for makeup and other (dry) beauty applications too.
