Lets be honest, so many of us are vain about our hair. We don’t want it getting destroyed by the harsh environment in the pool, be it a chlorinated pool or a salt water pool. It is for this reason that I started doing research about swim caps.
Who knew there were SO MANY different kinds of swim caps?!
I didn’t.
There are caps for long hair, short hair, cold water, warm water, aerobics and laps. There are caps for swim teams and amateurs, triathletes and Olympians.
I know, this is overwhelming.Take a minute, soak in the soothing joy of the Will Farrell picture, and then we can start.
Ready?
It’s not as confusing as it seems.
The most important things to consider are: what you’re doing, where you’re doing it, and how long your hair is.
Swimming laps: You will want to look for a smoother and tighter cap, one made from latex or silicone. Silicone caps are better for long hair, but they are also a little bit warmer. Latex caps are better for vary short hair, they will be better at staying on your head. If you swim in a warm pool and get hot easily, consider trying a latex cap.
