A swimming cap is a must-have accessory for most swimming pools. It protects hair from the effects of chlorine, which disinfects pools, and also reduces water resistance, which is especially important for swimmers. Entering a sporting goods store, the average customer will be confused when he sees the abundance of various hats and other swimming accessories. But this case is quite fixable.
Instructions
Step 1
Nowadays, you can find latex, silicone and fabric caps. Many people call latex caps "the last century". They are very thin and sticky, which makes them easy to tear. Dressing them is not a pleasant occupation. They stretch hard, while pulling out part of the hair, and are hard to remove, again violently pulling out the hair. Despite this, many men choose latex beanies as there are no particular problems with putting on for short hair.
Step 2
Latex is very sensitive to chlorinated water, so this hat will not last long. Moreover, it is dangerous for allergy sufferers, since latex is the strongest allergen. Their only advantage is the price. They are much cheaper than silicone and fabric.
Step 3
Silicone caps have almost completely overcome the disadvantages of latex ones. They are pleasant to the touch, easy to put on and are hypoallergenic! These caps can be easily stretched to the desired size, but at the same time they perfectly fit the head and do not allow water to penetrate. The inner part of the silicone caps is made in such a way that the hair does not stick or get hurt. These hats are perfect for long hair.
Step 4
Cloth caps are mainly suitable for women, as they are very soft on the hair, without tangling or pulling it out. Unfortunately, fabric beanies are water-permeable. Whether you are into aqua aerobics or water sports, the fabric cap is just for you.
Step 5
Swimming caps are oversized. They are available only for adults and children. Therefore, when choosing a hat, stretch it on your hands, so you will understand whether it will fit or not. The hats are usually standard size, but if in doubt, ask the seller to try them on. A cap that is too tight will put pressure on your ears and ruin your swimming pleasure.
