I was just reading through "Ask Karen" and someone had asked about swim caps that don't pull at your hair. When I started swimming regularly I had the same problem, a cap that felt like a vice and was so tight at the hairline that it pulled out hair. The rubber ones can be similar to sticking a rubber band in your hair, yuck! I found a lycra swim cap (made by speedo) that's made out of regular bathing suit fabric that works really well. It doesn't keep my hair dry, but it does keep it out of both my face and the drain and it's comfortable and hair safe.-jj

The cheap latex "racing swim caps " that are widely available will roll up and pull hair out as you remove them. They are very hard to put on and can be tight. The same goes for the silicon caps as far as ease to put on goes. Both leak ! The best swim caps I have found are the bubble crepe chin strap caps. They are made in sizes small,medium, and large by Watergear and Sprint Rothhammer.They are made of a very soft rubber and will not pull hair . These swim caps were originally made by Playtex and even during the 60's when there were lots of swim caps to pick from they were the most watertight. For a bit more protection they can be worn over a lycra or plain latex cap.For even more protection rub a bit of conditioner on the ends of your hair before slipping on a cap. To make a cap easier to slip on try rubbing corn starch inside it. It works!
