The present invention involves two heat resistant ear caps attached to a continuous flat woven cord. The caps are designed to protect the ears from burns during the treatment of hair with heated cosmetology curling irons, hot rollers, and dryers. The heat resistant ear caps are uniquely constructed to hook over the auricle (top) of the ears into a defined depth of the caps. The caps comprise an outer heat resistant fabric, an inner webbing and cotton denim fabric fused together. The unique construction is created by simultaneously stretching and sewing elastic between two defined points located on the fused fabrics thus creating a semi-circle opening with a defined depth which hooks over the ears. The outer edges of the semi-circle opening with a defined depth are covered and enclosed by a cotton lycra strip. The two caps are attached to a flat woven cord which adjusts underneath the chin by use of a manufactured cord lock. Further, this construction of pliable heat resistant fabrics allows the ear caps to be shaped around the ear area by human hands.
