I’ve tried numerous swimming caps & this is by far the best. Fits all of our hair & does not get our hair wet.

This is just the best swim cap if you have long and/or thick hair, it is large enough for all your hair with room to spare but still seals around the edges to keep your hair dry (except for the very edges). It will protect your hair from pool or saltwater. It’s high quality, sturdy, (but stretchy), looks good, and is holding up well. I’m super happy with it.

My locs are growing rapidly (in their "drop" phase). I put my hair up in a high ponytail under the cap & the ponytail stays dry. Some water does enter around the edges; but it's ok since mine are shaved.Comfy fit & easy to put on.Try it.

Köpte denna badmössa till min dotter som har mycket hår och simmar varje vecka. Det fungerar bra och hon tycker om detta.

I love that I finally found a cap that accommodates my big hair. Unfortunately my hair still gets wet and not just at the edges. This will work for the splashes and light recreational swimming but not if you are doing laps or going underwater. So if you are looking to keep your hair dry or protected from chlorine this won't work. I have a big head along with my big hair so I was surprised that the seal wasn't as tight as I'm used to with other caps. I do like the generous coverage of my ears which helped mostly prevent water getting in my ear canals (I do wear ear plugs when I swim as well but they fall out occasionally). I do recommend this cap. It's comfortable and mostly works but I will continue my quest for the swim cap that actually keeps my big hair dry and fits my giant noggin. Unfortunately, I think I might be searching for a unicorn.

The SOUL CAP has revolutionized my swimming experience! As someone with long hair, finding a cap that accommodates my locks was a constant struggle until I discovered this gem. The design is thoughtful and practical, easily accommodating long hair, dreadlocks, weaves, extensions, braids, curls, and afros. The silicone material is both durable and comfortable, ensuring a secure fit without pulling or discomfort. Finally, I can enjoy swimming without the worry of it fitting my hair. This cap not only does the job but does it with style. It's a game-changer for anyone with long hair who loves to swim. Highly recommended for this fitting on your hair but you will get wet.

10/10. Bought one for myself to test, loved it, then got my mom one a couple days later. I bought this because I love swimming but hate the time it takes to dry my hair afterward. Didn’t trust the other brands and was so happy to find one that catered to Black/POC women and our hair. It’s stylish for a swim cap. I used this cap every day for about 3 weeks (chlorinated pool, ocean, and saltwater pool), each time fully submerging my head and swimming regularly. I have butt-length medium box braids which all fit comfortably inside the cap with room to spare. I wrapped the braids around my head then put the cap on - I also wore with my hair in a bun a couple times under the cap but it wasn’t my favorite. I appreciated the tight band (it wasn’t painful) because it kept the cap secure. I recommend measuring the circumference of your head and going by that, you definitely want the band to be 1-2 inches smaller. It’s very durable and I didn’t experience any tearing or other malfunction. It does get warm in the cap, sometimes sweat from inside the cap feels like water seeping in but it isn’t.Tips: pull cap down completely over your ears and about 1-2 inches below hairline for a watertight seal. Make sure your skin is clean and dry without make-up, sweat, hair product runoff, etc. otherwise the band will slip. I found that sweat from inside the cap did NOT cause slippage IF you put the cap on before that startsI also use this in the shower and for deep conditioning. It’s easy to wash and dries quickly.9.5.25 update: I’ve been using this cap about once a month since I bought it. It’s been to hot springs, saltwater pools, chlorinated pools, the ocean, the bay, um basically all types of water. I’ve had plenty of hairstyles too. Still doing laps, diving, floating, playing around. Still no issues! My mom’s has not been used as much - maybe once every 6 months or so - and hers is fine too. We still recommend!For the deep conditioning I forgot to say you can use a regular plastic bag first then put the cap on over it. I usually do it that way bc it gets slippery but not every time. I’ve used my hooded dryer a few times with no issues… it just gets too hot for me. The cap alone is enough.

I'm happy to found this large swim cap, ordered a large for long hair, it fitted well with excess room at the back though. With this big design felt comfortably covering ears & forehead without feeling too snap tight.

Die Badekappe lässt sich einfach aufziehen und beherbergt gut und sicher lange dicke Haare. Bis auf die Ränder hält sie auch dicht und drückt nicht. Sie hat ein angenehmes Tragegefühl (soweit man das bei Badekappen überhaupt sagen kann).

Die Badekappe ist Super! Endlich eine Badekappe, die nicht zu eng ist und nicht drückt! Ich habe lange gesucht und bin jetzt sehr zufrieden!Auch die 90-Tage-Zufriedenheits-Garantie wird ernst genommen. Ich konnte die Badekappe problemlos von XL auf L tauschen. Sehr nett und sehr guter Service!
