As a swimmer, I’d like to say, caps are not just for keeping your hair dry. The purpose of a swim cap is to hold your hair in one place as you swim so that your hair doesn’t drag and make you slower when you swim.

[@moonfairy74]

I also had problems with my long hair getting stuck in my armpits so a swim cap really helps!!

[@stormii6894]

Ur hair still gets wet tho lol

[@babyfishgirlbondz5628]

@@stormii6894 nope :)

[@sarag6792]

@@stormii6894 a good cap should be able to keep the hair dry. Not all works though

[@dontcallmelil8619]

Perfect bun! Impressive!

[@laurenbilhorn6159]

as a competitive swimmer I would just like to note that caps are actually not for keeping your hair dry but to keep your hair out of the way to keep you as streamlined as possible

You hair is actually supposed to be wet before you put a cap on

[@sydneyparsons1746]

Livingdeadgirl 17 it can be dry or wet

[@lilianmiramontesjr.7550]

thank you so much because I just got a swim cap and this helped so much. my hair isn't long, it's thick so I had a problem getting it on before this video!

[@moxgowland1209]

Hey , it'not just girls that have long hair ! This has been very helpfull . Thanx . (Long haired man )

[@Mars-rq7zy]

Its just kinda traditional for women but i understand what you are saying

[@Leleanor8]

I'm using a swim cap tomorrow for the first time, and my hair's recently been cut to shoulder length, but I still wasn't sure how to get it in correctly. So thank you! But my GOSH, your beautiful hair! I actually gasped!

[@MissInception95]

Thanks so much for this!! As someone who has nearly 1m of hair, it’s been hard to fit it all, so I’m glad to have found your tutorial because it genuinely helped so much!! You have amazing long hair!!

[@tibees]

I jus made a vid showing how I put on a swim cap too, looks equally as much like a cone :P

[@c.powell8472]

well, this is the most random place to find you LOL. Also, good job on your channel! I've watched it grow for the last decade and you are killing it! I love how you inspire so many women!

[@JuMp4ty]

holy crap your hair is amazing i was screaming when you put it in the bun haha

[@Pur9leRain]

I only discovered your channel today but I am so glad you are out there! I feel like your channel was made for me. I have already learnt so much. And to think that I suffered for years. Thank you for taking the time to share all your tips from one cone head to another!

[@AudKnits]

Really well done video. I have always wondered how to protect my long hair. Thank you for making this great tutorial!

[@madelinehero4353]

SwimCulture has an excellent long hair swim cap that has space for long hair and earflaps to cover those little bits in front of the ears. It is silicone, with no seems (that I can see) to split holds the hair very well. I wear it with goggles, and put one strap under my ear and the other over the bun, just to really keep the water out.

[@Jay-vw6hn]

You have beautiful long hair.

[@MusicBubbles1415]

Swim caps are more for aero dynamics than protecting your hair

[@adrianapilonieta6586]

Thank you very impressed with how you put your hair up!

[@quieshurncharles1296]

This was a wonderful and informative video very simple. Thanks

[@VictoriaIrene]

Hi! You can wet your hair to protect it and help with the static or apply a conditioning serum before putting the cap on.

[@SmittyKat]

I swam competitively for 5 years and my latex caps always lasted longer than the silicone ones. I have a very large head which seemed to put a lot of tension on the silicone ones, and they would ALWAYS split down the seam after a few weeks. The latex ones took a lot longer to break for me. That's just my two cents. For normal sized heads I'd say you are right but for us pumpkin heads latex or lycra (fabric)is the way to go.

[@RoseDiy11]

OMG THANK U SM I HAVE LIKE UR LENGTH HAIR AND I WAS SCARED THAT I would break it with my length but nope so thank uu

[@lacii.8077]

I have cried so much today because I don’t have an extra long hair swim cap:(

[@EricahJones]

Thank you for a wonderful video! Helped me this morning with getting this thing on my daughter’s head. She, too, has a head full of curly, thick hair! ❤️

[@phebysamuel4369]

You make it look so easy! I have waist length hair and got a swimcap today and cannot seem to get that on! My hair keeps getting pulled and all messed up and my head hurts with that just halfway on 😭

[@alexdunn5779]

Thank you so much!!!! This was soo helpful my hair goes to at least my waist and swimming with it down makes it so tangled and the chlorine in the water makes my hair so dry and stiff like cardboard again thank you so much!!!

[@buggiebuild1]

It’s true, long hair/chlorine, does not mix. It is an absolute nightmare to brush.love my swim cap ,thank you so much for your upload ,you have beautiful hair too,be safe out there here from Florida✌🏻😷

[@galila6735]

what if it slides off when swimming?

[@LucysCorsetry]

+yosan bihon it has never slid off on me, but it's not like I'm doing any Olympic synchronized swimming or anything.

[@galila6735]

***** first of all thank you for replying!_! I didn't expect it! Second of all the only reason I wanted to know was because I have a swimming class and if my hiar touches water it goes from flat ironed to afro in seconds. So I looked up this and found your helpful video! Thanks!!

[@yana212]

cassihasnolife so your hair doesn't get wet at all? You tuck your ears in it or no?

[@travelinquaker8598]

Thank you so much for this video. I struggled so much this past week, but after watching this, success!

[@SmittyKat]

I was a swimmer for four years and I always found that my rubber caps lasted A LOT longer than the silicone ones... the silicone ones would ALWAYS split down the seam after about a month... the rubber ones lasted about four times as long. And they stay on a lot better than the silicone ones. And the fabric ones only protect your hair from the sun, not the chlorine.

[@lxannesiu_____8475]

When I joined swim for my future high school that I am going to soon, I've been asking a few people on the team if they can help me with my cap so I hop this video is helpful

[@juliewelch6782]

Love the video, very charming and I am glad I watched your tutorial before believing the article that I read saying I don't need a swim cap. I found out once I scrolled down, it was a shampoo commercial "guaranteed" to protect my hair- Even blonde in chlorine! (ya sure) - I am grateful as well for an excuse to shop, and hopefully start to lose significant weight from exercising....I mentioned that, because I was using my hair as a reason to be unable to exercise. Have a great day !

[@cooliscathy]

I noticed that you are a mouth breather, as I used to be too. I learned from my vocal coach that mouth breathing is not only destructive to the voice, but also to your overall health. You should google it. Ever since I quit mouth breathing I have felt much more energetic and I have improved physical stamina. Random, but anyways, very helpful video:)

[@paulryan5701]

Thx so much I was getting frustrated of the chlorine and i didn’t know how to put cap so thanks I added like to video also I want to add that I don’t have long hair but this also works for people with short hair

[@flizzym5433]

I remeber this at school. Except I had thicker hair and the thing would break. God bless my mum for rehearsing this with my hair

I will try this tomorrow. I have the worst time. Thank you!

[@kanalmahosgeldinizziyaretc4785]

Thank you very much. You really made it easy for me to do this with ease ... With a short video, I benefited a lot and the method is very easy. Love you💕🌹😚

[@kawaii_unicorn_783]

Thank u for making this video now I can wear swimming cap perfectly!

[@EloraLiveZ]

Thank you! Will definitely try one of those!! The same thing happens to me, when I do a braid it gets terribly knotty...

[@UhmdoIknowyou]

I have torn my silicone swim caps twice because i was stretching it too much neither of any of the caps I’ve tried fit properly because of my long hair but I’ll try this one

[@reginacampos99]

thanks for the quick answer ! I was born in 77, but I know about old chin-strapped swimcaps. I'm thinking in more modern racing caps ! I usually stay in the beach for 5, 6 hours, most time in the water, swimming or surfing. I was worried to look ridiculous, tacky, old-fashioned wearing a swimcap. Also, I'm thinking I will have to put it at home, and go to the beach wearing it, because will be tricky to put it there. And I'm sure my boyfriend will complain.

[@alygon]

Thank you so much for the advise.

[@TheAmatyarakshasa]

holy hair.... how long is your hair and how long did it take to grow that length?

[@MrsBrit1]

Omg, I was freaking out, sure you'd catch it on the door knobs! Brave of you to do the head banging there!! LOL

[@MissKarlashao]

i think the sideburns are not cimpletely covered is because youre wearing it wrong. You have to stretch it side ways , the logo has to be on your side of the head not to the front! that's how i figured it out

[@aldijanamalovic8352]

This really helped me a lot! Thank you

[@jillywow9109]

I got this for thick hair and it works just as fine!

[@artsandcrafts7]

thank you so much because when i put put my cap on it all goes wrong and i have very very long hair so now i know how to put it on thank you.

[@hscammell]

Nice video - love your bun! My hair isn't quite that long yet :) I just bought a High Volume swim cap at Wal-Mart for $8 (CAD), US Diver brand. Whoever corrected you saying there are no long hair swim cap is wrong... there are definitely models specifically designed for longer / thicker hair. I've only used mine once so far, but it works great for me. My hair was by no means dry after my swim, but it was WAY better than my braid evolving into a massive dreadlock like you said!

[@bookworm56227]

I bought a regular Speedo swim cap and haven't tried it yet. If I'd known they had one like this, I probably would have got it. Ah, well. Maybe mine will work! And at least I know HOW to put it on now. I've been looking at the thing like o.O for like 3 months now.

[@miajean5488]

Thanks couldn't figure out before! This way is way more easier

[@TheAmatyarakshasa]

wow.. magnificent! My hair is barely 2 feet long (it took me 4 years to get there and I've kept it at that length but I don't think it would grow much longer even if I let it) and it takes me 15 minutes to shampoo and conditioner and 15 minutes to brush it. I guess it must take you longer because your hair is longer and thicker than mine. stunning!! btw I use the same swim cap. :)

[@Kediil]

I was looking for stuff in regards to swimcaps. I use a neato long hair cap called the Arena Smartcap. It. Is. Awesome. Takes about ten seconds to put on, even if leaving my hair loose (booty-length). But I was looking for a better silicone-esque cap to go on top of it too since the neoprene type Smartcap isn't exactly waterproof. Hence how I came across your video, and all your other ones too! Anyhow, Arena came out with a Smart Silicone cap that works the same way, but with the top piece being silicone, of course. I've been debating buying it and thought I might request a review on it, with the assumption that you yourself might like to try a cap that's so super easy to use as well. And to end, fantastic videos! I plan to creep my way into the corsetry stuff in the future, but right now I'm just super loving the *intelligent* information regarding hair! You're very good at giving information and background while suggesting products and regimens, without declaring that it's the only way or that other ways are for suckers. So thank you!

[@haramnoor785]

This really helped me thanks

[@unknowntah4746]

amazing video

today I go to buy it I can't wear it it was to hard

[@TheOgi22]

Hy. How you take care about your hair? I have long hair and I'm looking for a way to maintain it as little as possible and have as little work with it as possible. I have them in a braid and I have them in a manban for a month and I wear a scarf, but after a month they are terribly tangled. I wonder if it is possible to wear them for a long time without regular maintenance.

[@sadiquaqureshi2775]

U put perfect bun 👍👍👍

[@amanw4330]

Very helpful for my long hair.

[@JulietMemories]

I have to start taking swimming two times a week because of health reasons (problems with my back D:) and pretty much this video saved my life :D I thought my long hair would die but... there is hope :'D thanks!!!

[@x1435]

I love Torrin! :3 I use this hairstyle often anyway hehe. I'm like two inches from classic length I'm so proud! :P Lol. I've never used a swim cap, but I've always wondered how to manage with long hair; thanks for the demo ^.^ Good tip about the earrings :O I would have left my 2nd and 3rd piercings if I was doing this. LOL I would get so tangled with loose hair while swimming, plus that would suck trying to comb out. I hope you're feeling better too!

[@jasmineholland8959]

i hate looking like a cone head every time i put on my swimcap. great vid!

thank you so much you showed me how to put on a swim cap on my own and make a bun \

[@swimcoll]

....(continuation) Also, I've had my hair super short (think Ellen) and super long (right now it is near my waist) . I swim nearly ever day and I like to change around my caps periodically (you can get bored with swim accessories just like jewelry). All the caps stretch. Search on youtube for: - kids in cap! (fun friday challenge) or - the swim cap eplotkin1 (eplotkin is the user's ID) (the comment section won't let me include the URL)

[@sammitharp325]

i love your hair! ive always tried to grow it long and get regular trims, ive been growing it out for two years and its only about a half an inch below my shoulder... do you have any advice?

[@doglover1neo]

But can you get your hair under a wig? I all so have long thick hair and could not get it under a wig. Do you have any tips to share, if you have some?

[@SmittyKat]

However, I used them every single day for three hours at a time, so a silicone one would probably be just fine for a casual swimmer, rather than a competitive swimmer.

[@BecomingAMan]

Logos don't matter, I've been swimming for 5 years and every cap has been completely symmetrical

[@allaynaskyetv3032]

Ive tried this and I have really really thick hair and it gets over my hair and head then just slides. My hair is dyed red so I now have to wear a swim cap. (For reference of how thick my hair is if I do 1 right plait it 8cm at the top and that's like as tight as it goes) pls someone help

[@reginacampos99]

Great video, thanks ! I have long hair and I always use one (or two) swimcaps in the pool, but I'm having trouble swimming in the beach. The salt and sand are making my hair a mess. Do you recoment a swimcap in the beach too ? is it too weird, wearing a swimcap in the beach ? Thanks again !

[@cyanide143]

Should I cover my ear with the cap?

[@LucysCorsetry]

Professionals would say yes - there are even swim caps that have molded pouches for your ears to comfortably sit! I have huge ears so I'd have to fold my lobes up in order for them to fit in my caps. If you're a casual swimmer like me, just fit as much of the ear as is comfortable. :)

[@Lindolis]

How's the Tangle Teezer working for you? I'm wondering if it's time for a follow-up review for that product because I recently watched your first review for that brush.

This summer I was swimming in the sea pretty much everyday and my hair got so damaged. I did use a cap every once in a while but it is made out of fabric so the water penetrates it. Do u have any tips on how I should prevent my hair from breaking and how I should wash it during these times?

[@AurumGolds]

You can't see any hair bulge in my cap and I have long ass hair, how do I do it? I put my cap on with my hair down then push it all in.

Holy crap can you imagine having hair long enough to use it as it’s own hairtie

[@MagzSwims]

I'm a swimmer and my hair gets completely wet in a swim cap... but my hair is like only just past my shoulder length

[@anitasamek]

I can't get this to work :( I do have the normal one not for long hair, however my problem isn't getting it on or keeping it on, but that somehow water gets in and drenches ALL of my hair. I do dive in it so maybe that is why? none of my hair is peaking out of the cap...I do a vortex bun which is quite flat.

[@whippetgirl123]

When I did swimming in elementary school, the swim caps were a bit too large and water would get in and damage my hair, so I would put in conditioner as a leave-in and that ended up damaging the caps (I went through something like 6 per season) and I was wondering if you/anybody else had any experience with that? Like, leave-in conditioners (or other hair products) damaging swim caps?

[@ird4489]

Does your ear supposed to be hurt? You tuck it half and the cap is so tight so pressing hard on it.

[@LucysCorsetry]

My ear doesn't hurt. If your cap is pressing on your ear and it hurts, you can take your ear out of the cap, but the cap might have a better chance of slipping off.

[@ird4489]

@@LucysCorsetry Actually I just try it today and you are right. It slips off after one hour or so with my ear outside of the cap. Anyway, thanks for answering.

[@poornawasana9063]

Is this a big swimming cap

[@thrivesurvive]

I wish they had those when my hair was long. When I was in 7th grade, my class took a field trip to the public pool. My parents told me I was not allowed to get in the pool until they brought me a swim cap. I waited for hours. When it was almost time to go, they showed up with a cheap, disposable shower cap, the kind you get from hotels. Needless to day, with calf-length hair, it was useless, and completely embarrassing. :( I think yours looks cute on you.

[@LanAnh-jl3tc]

does it help prevent your hair from getting wet?

[@LucysCorsetry]

My hair will still be damp around the edges, but it remains 90% dry as long as I don’t do any diving. But the main purpose is to prevent it from tangling, not to keep the hair bone dry

[@RIHANASYED]
