Your scrub cap is the most personal piece of your uniform. It's the one item that sits front and center every shift - visible to patients, colleagues, and anyone you pass in the hallway.
This guide breaks down the Endys scrub cap styles, what each one is actually designed for, and how to find the right fit for your hair type and personal style.
Meet the Bouffant Cap
The bouffant is the rounded, gathered cap most commonly seen in surgical and procedural settings. It's designed for maximum hair coverage - the elastic band runs around the entire perimeter, creating a balloon-like shape that accommodates high-volume hair, locs, braids, and updos without compression.
The bouffant is for you if:
- You have thick, voluminous, or natural hair that needs full coverage
- You work in the OR, a procedural suite, or any high-coverage infection control environment
- You want a cap that stays secure through a long shift without adjusting
- You wear locs, braids, or keep your hair in a bun or updo

Meet the Unisex Tie-Back Cap
The classic surgeon-style cap sits flat on the crown with ties at the back. It offers a lower profile than the bouffant and a more tailored, structured look. The tie-back design allows for a fully adjustable fit regardless of head size and it works well under loupes, headlamps, and surgical masks.
The unisex tie-back is for you if:
- You prefer a streamlined, structured silhouette
- You have shorter or straighter hair
- You wear loupes or a headlamp and need a low-profile fit
- You want a cap that makes a bold printed statement

Meet the Black Base Cap with Printed Ties
A hybrid style that combines a solid black body with coordinating printed ties. The black base keeps the cap versatile and professional while the ties add a pop of personality.
The black base cap is for you if:
- You want a subtle, polished look with a personal touch
- You coordinate your full scrub outfit and want a cap that works with everything
- You prefer the tie-back style but want something less bold than a fully printed cap
Key ENDYS options: Black Unisex Scrub Cap with Heritage Pop Ties, Black Unisex Scrub Cap with Aurora Ties
