I'm having swim cap issues. I normally wear a silicon regular normal cap, and have worn latex in the past. However, I put my cap on dry and put my hair in a couple of ponytail holders underneath, then the goggles on top. During my workouts my cap slides up so my hair starts falling out of the bottom and then gets in the way. Plus it's uncomfortable and starts pulling on my goggles. My hair really isn't that long--not even to my shoulders. And it's not majorly thick, either--a little, but not very thick. (OK, no big head jokes :D )
I have to constantly pull it down during my workout which wastes time and does no good anyway. Short of getting out to redo it all, how can I get the cap to stay on so everything stays where it is supposed to? Should I put it on wet head, pull my hair up differently, try another brand, any ideas? Please help!
#1 - Hair has to be wet when the cap goes on.
If you are worried about your beautiful hair, rinse it in freshwater (saturate) in the shower before you jump in the chorinated pool!
#2 - pull your cap down in front but be sure the cap does not interfere with the seal of your goggles.
#3 - someone else mentioned hair products - mainly conditioner. Seriously... this is a SLIMEY OILY substance. No matter how expensive the price!
If you have it in your hair, your swim cap - especially a silicone cap - will slip!
#4 - Great advice about ponytail placement - one goggle strap high and one strap low... then seal up the goggles well and go!
