Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

What you might see as thinning could actually be the strands of hair breaking close to the scalp.I've noticed this with my daughter who wears a silicone cap most of the time,but puts her cap on dry hair-the horror!I wear latex caps but wet my hair first and I have the breakage as well.And if it's a significant amount of broken hair you would notice thinning.
A solution could be to put a small amount of conditioner through your wet hair,before you put on the cap-or wear a fabric cap,possibly under the latex.
