FAQs
Is this cap suitable for long hair?
Yes, but for best results, tie long hair into a low bun or ponytail at the nape of your neck before fitting the cap. Ensure all hair is tucked securely inside.
How do I clean the silicone cap?
Rinse the cap with cold, fresh water after each use. Avoid using soaps or harsh chemicals.
How should I store the cap?
Store the cap flat or loosely rolled in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects, to prevent damage and maintain its shape.
Will this cap protect my hair from chlorine?
The silicone cap provides a barrier that helps protect hair from direct contact with pool chemicals like chlorine, reducing dryness and discoloration.
What is the main benefit of a silicone cap over latex or lycra?
Silicone caps generally offer a more durable, comfortable, and secure fit compared to latex, and provide better hydrodynamic performance than lycra.
Can this cap be used for diving?
Yes, the secure fit is designed to stay in place during swimming and diving activities, provided it is fitted correctly.
Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight
Gently stretch the cap opening wider before placing it on your head. Ensure you are distributing the cap evenly over your head.
Hair is not fully contained
Gather your hair into a bun or ponytail at the back of your head before putting on the cap. Smooth down any stray hairs as you fit the cap.
Cap slips during swimming
Ensure the cap is fitted correctly and that there is no water trapped between your hair and the cap. Make sure your hair is dry before putting on the cap.
Cap develops a tear
Inspect the cap for tears regularly. Small tears can sometimes be temporarily patched, but significant tears may require replacement.
