I ended up returning this swim cap. Once I tried it own, I felt like it was taking the life out of me. It was so tight around my head and I have a "normal" size head.

I have very long hair and swim frequently so I needed a cap to keep my hair covered and protected from the harsh chemicals in the pool. I ordered this, based on the description. It does cover my hair, but does not remotely keep it dry. I've used it several times, trying different strategies to pull it down farther, pull my hair up differently, etc., but each time I remove it to anything from saturated to damp hair. What's the point?

I have thick hair and a bigger head so that regular swim caps would be too tight or slide off. This is perfect!! Ive used this for about two weeks now and so glad I purchased it.

I have one of those heads that don't work well with hats, headbands and swim caps historically just slid off...So the only time I could use my pool was if I had time to deal with my medium/long hair afterward, which was nearly never. I have four swim caps I've bought within the past year as I've tried to resolve this 1st World Problem, but none worked...Until now!

As recommended by other reviewers, I stuck my hair up into a low bun, held the cap open as indicated in the accompanying picture and slipped it on. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't pinch and pull my skin or my hair and it actually held it all in! In less than a minute, I was ready to go and the grips around the fact kept it in place even after I made it to the pool, which was another first.

Yes, similar to others, my hair got a little wet around the edges, but I can handle a two-minute blow dry, followed by a quick brush to style and then I'm ready to roll to my next adventure, which usually involves some level of camera work, so I have to look at least presentable.

I also commend the follow-up from the owner that I received. I rarely post reviews, but I got from his request that his values mirror many of mine and I believe strongly in family businesses, which apparently this one is, according to the follow-up note.

So if you are looking for a good, reliable cap that evens works for heads that normally can't wear caps and also can manage long hair, I suggest you give this one a try. Plus, you'll be helping out a family business in the process!

Didn't last! Not for black peoples hair!
