Swimming cap

This headpiece is an extremely useful item. This cap will prevent your hair from getting wet - it will remain almost dry. In addition, this equipment will protect the head from the harmful effects of chlorine water.

Hair hidden under a neat pool cap will keep the swimmer in the eye and keep it out of the way. In addition, they will not enter the water and clog the pool. This accessory helps keep you warm, and it, as you know, comes out during swimming just over the head.

Swimming cap prevents water from entering the ears, which is fraught with their inflammation. Ears, like hair, create additional water resistance during swimming, while a hat successfully solves this problem.

The most "ancient" type is latex caps, which have many disadvantages. They are very thin and fragile, they can hardly be put on the head, which is why they are easily torn. In addition, they stick to the hair, spoil it, and cause allergic reactions. This attribute is more or less suitable only for short-haired swimmers. After each use, the latex cap must be sprinkled with talcum powder, otherwise it will stick together. The only advantage of these products is their very low price. They are usually offered in pools at a very low price. These beanies have long supplanted the latest technology.

The most popular option today is silicone swim caps. They feel like the surface of a soap.With the ability to stretch twice, silicone is extremely tightly covers the head. It is very easy to put on such a hat, it does not harm the hair (this is especially true for long-haired girls). The product is highly durable, but the hairpin can damage it, so it is necessary to secure the hair with an elastic band. The advantage of silicone is that it is hypoallergenic. Besides the hat does not require special care: After visiting the pool, you just need to rinse it in regular fresh water and dry it. You can create accessories of various colors from silicone and apply drawings to the product. The price for such equipment is, of course, higher than for latex, but this is fully justified.

A slight drawback of silicone caps - they fit the head too tightlyoften have thick edges to keep water out of the head. For some people, especially the elderly, it causes discomfort, sometimes turning into a headache. It is better for such swimmers to prefer cloth caps.

Textile hats are made of the same materials as swimwear - lycra, polyester, polyamide and other synthetics. Their main function is to remove hair. The product does not put pressure on the head, is easy to put on, does not electrify. But unlike other models, this cap is water-permeable. Therefore, this option is rather appropriate not for swimming, but for water aerobics. Hairpins are not afraid of a textile model, because a few holes will not change its properties. The price of the product is so low.

Along with the considered models, there are combined accessories for swimming in the pool: inside they are made of textiles, outside they have a silicone coating. Such products combine the best qualities of materials - the convenience of Lycra and the waterproofness of silicone. Such a hat does not require special care, but it has a rather high price. Note that this model is not suitable for competition (for these cases, denser options are needed).

For professional athletesregularly taking part in competitions with the help of modern technologies special equipment for high-speed swimming is created... There are also special hats for long-haired swimmers: such products have an internal device that is put on under the upper silicone part and style the hair in such a way as to improve hydrodynamics.

It should be noted that a pool cap can highlight your personality. This will help, for example, a model with a volumetric surface (embossed pattern). There are options in a retro style, equipped with a strap. A young swimmer can choose an option with a fun slogan. Children's models often depict popular cartoon characters and animals.

Designers have developed special hats for bathing babies. Bathing is an extremely important and responsible hygienic procedure. Mom does not always have an assistant for this purpose, so a special hat will come in handy. If the baby is just starting to swim, a foam cap will help you. (or mermaid cap). Outwardly, it resembles a chamomile with petals, which allows the head to stay above the water.

Sometimes mothers use an inflatable model. In some cases, the cap is necessary to prevent water from getting into the ears.

There are a number of things to consider when choosing a swim cap... If it is extremely important for you not to let your hair get wet, buy a silicone or a combination option. If that doesn't matter, wear a cloth hat.

As for the size, that's hard to go wrong here.as pool caps are simply subdivided into adult and child sizes. Although recently, manufacturers have begun to produce medium-sized products designed for teenagers.

This outfit is designed not only to protect the hair, but can also act as a fashion accessory. In this case, it is worth choosing a model that matches the design of the swimsuit. Some brands even make beanie and bathing suit sets.

As you know, it is very problematic to put on only a latex hat. However, when putting on other swimming models, you need to adhere to the following recommendations:

1. If your hair is completely clean, dry and also electrified, it is recommended to dampen it slightly.
2. Gather long curls in a neat bun above the back of the head using an elastic band (just not hairpins and hairpins). Also, do not forget to take off the long earrings - they will interfere with the lesson and can also harm the hat.
3. Bend your head slightly, place both palms inside the garment and stretch it out. Then insert the head gently. After wearing the product, slide your fingers down your temples.
4. Spread out the accessory, slide it over the forehead and behind the back of the head. As for the seams, they can be positioned in two ways: from one ear to the other, or from the forehead to the back of the head.
5. Tuck strands of hair and bangs under the hat, sticking out the edge with one hand.
6. Smooth it down slightly to make the item sit very comfortably.
