Summary
Today’s guest is Jacquelyn De Jesu, the founder, CEO, and inventor of Shhhowercap. Built 11 years ago, Shhhowercap turned the humble shower cap into a premium, reusable staple designed to protect blowouts and styled hair from water and humidity. Made with breathable, hydrophobic nanotech fabric that repels water, is antibacterial, machine washable, and backed by seven patents, the brand is a testament to thoughtful design and innovation in beauty. Jacquelyn shares how her background as a creative director led her into beauty, her advice for founders without a “traditional” industry path, and why protecting her invention through patents was non-negotiable while building the business. Plus, what happens when your patent is challenged and the outcome of Shhhowercap’s 2023 jury trial.

| 0:07.1 | Hi, Sarah. |
| 0:08.4 | Welcome to Los Angeles. |
| 0:14.4 | All right, Glam's, today's guest is a founder, CEO, and inventor of a company she built 11 years ago. |
| 0:21.9 | You probably have heard me talk about my love of shower cap, a premium reusable waterproof shower cap designed to protect |
| 0:27.0 | hairstyles, especially blowouts and styled hair from water and humidity. Its patented design is |
| 0:33.0 | stylish and breathable. It's hydrophobic with nanotech fabric that repels water. It's anti-bacterial |
| 0:39.8 | and machine washable. I think this is why I probably have had mine for at least a decade at this |
| 0:44.5 | point. And it has seven patents. Please welcome to Los Angeles, Jacqueline de Jazeu. Woo! |
| 0:51.2 | I love that intro. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so safe. Of course. Thank you for coming. Okay, so we know what's on your head when you're in the shower. But we would like to know what's on your face currently. |
| 1:02.5 | I had to cut it down to my absolute favorites and I have reasons as to why. It cosmetics, concealer. Little tube goes a long way. Didn't know the brand. It was one of those things where, like, I was getting ready with the girls in my office and someone took it out of their makeup bag. And I've never looked back. It had to have been like nine years ago. I hustle. So I love the way that it doesn't crease. It matches perfectly. It's blendable. But like really what blows my mind is that little |
| 1:29.5 | tube. I'll blow through everything else in replenishments. That little tube lasts like longer than it |
| 1:36.2 | should. It's like spackle. Is it the buy by and under eye? Oh, the bye by under eye. Yeah. Amazing. |
| 1:42.1 | And then we have super group unseen. Yes. Beautiful product. Cannot |
| 1:47.8 | be beat. Goes with everything. I also am like very inspired by how everyone tries to kind of pull from their brand vernacular and like what they've done so perfectly with a formulation. I think another really cute thing is like my husband loves it and he doesn't really do like a man's routine. Definitely not skincare. Doesn't even wash his face. And one day he was putting it on and he goes, why do I love this so much? Like why does it? Why does it mean like why? I was like, now you get it. Like, that's beauty. |
| 2:18.2 | That's the way that we feel about all of the things that we buy and repeat purchase. Like, that's the trial and error. Like, now you understand beauty products and our connection to them, you know. Um, so I love that. And they're a great team. So I always try to support great teams. and then a road lip peptide. |
| 2:35.4 | I love their color. |
| 2:36.5 | Just like such a nice flush. But it also really is doing exactly what I need it to do, |
| 2:42.0 | which like it doesn't flake. It pulls and it matches and it's blendable. And right now I have, |
| 2:47.9 | can I add one? I have aique lipstick underneath for a little bit more |
| 2:51.7 | color because we're on camera yeah that's your lip combo yeah exactly that's my lip combo and then |
