Swimming cap

This headpiece is an unusually useful thing. This hat will prevent hair from getting wet - they will remain almost dry. In addition, this equipment will protect your head from the harmful effects of water with chlorine.

The hair hidden under a neat hat for the pool will not go into your eyes and distract the swimmer. In addition, they will not fall into the water, causing clogging of the pool. This accessory helps keep you warm., and it, as you know, comes out during a swimming lesson just over the head.

Swimming cap prevents water from entering the auriclesthat is fraught with their inflammation. Ears, like hair, in the process of swimming create additional resistance to water, while the cap successfully solves this problem.

The most “ancient” look is latex caps, which have many shortcomings. They are very thin and fragile, can hardly be put on the head, which is why they are easily torn. In addition, they stick to the hair, spoil them, 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. Usually they are offered in pools at a very low price. These hats have long superseded the latest technology.

The most popular option today is silicone swimming caps. To the touch they resemble the surface of soap.With the ability to stretch in half, silicone extremely tightly covers the head. This hat is very easy to wear, it does not harm the hair (this is especially true for long-haired girls). The product is high-strength, however, the hairpin of the sposon will damage it, so it is necessary to fix 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 ordinary fresh water and dry it. From silicone, you can create accessories in a variety of colors and apply drawings to the product. The price for such equipment, of course, is higher than for latex, but this is completely justified.

A slight lack of silicone hats - they too tightly fit your head, often have thickened edges to prevent water from entering the head. For some people, especially the elderly, this causes discomfort, sometimes turning into a headache. It is better for such swimmers to prefer fabric caps.

Textile hats are made of the same materials as bathing suits - lycra, polyester, polyamide and other synthetics. Their main function is to remove hair. The product does not press on the head, it is easily put on, it is not electrified. But unlike other models, such a cap lets water through. Therefore, this option is rather appropriate not for swimming, but for water aerobics. The textile model is not afraid of hairpins, because several holes will not change its properties. The price of such a product is low.

Along with the considered models, there are combined accessories for classes in the pool: inside they are made of textile, but on the 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 has a fairly high price. Note that this model is not suitable for competition. (for these cases, more dense options are needed).

For professional athletesregularly participating in competitions using modern technology creates special equipment for high-speed swimming. There are also special caps for long-haired swimmers: such products have an internal device that is worn under the upper silicone part and puts hair in such a way as to improve hydrodynamics.

It should be noted that the hat for the pool is able to emphasize your personality. This will help, for example, a model with a three-dimensional surface (embossed pattern). There are options in retro style, equipped with a strap. A young swimmer can choose an option with a fun slogan. Children's models often portray popular cartoon heroes and animals.

Designers have developed special hats designed for bathing infants. 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 only involved in swimming, then a foam cap will help you (or a mermaid cap). Outwardly, it resembles a camomile with petals, which allows the head to stay above the water.

Sometimes mothers use an inflatable model. In some cases, a hat is necessary so that water does not get into the ears.

When choosing a swimming cap, focus on a number of points. If it is extremely important for you to prevent hair from getting wet, buy a silicone or combination option. If this does not matter, wear a fabric cap.

Regarding size, thats hard to make mistakes here, because hats for the pool are simply divided into adults and children’s sizes. Although recently manufacturers have begun to produce medium-sized products for teenagers.

This equipment is not only designed to protect hair, but can also be a fashion accessory. In this case, it is worth choosing a model that matches the design with a swimsuit. Some brands even produce sets consisting of hats and bathing suits.

As you know, it is very problematic to wear only a hat made of latex. However, putting on other swimming models, you must adhere to the following recommendations:

1. If your hair is completely clean, dry and also electrified, it is recommended to moisten them a little.
2. Gather long curls in a neat bundle higher than the back of the head using an elastic band (only not hairpins and hairpins). Also, do not forget to remove long earrings - they will interfere in the classroom and can also harm the hat.
3. Bend your head slightly, place both palms inside the product and stretch it. Then gently insert your head. After putting on the product, slide your fingers down the temples.
4. Spread the accessory, slide it over the forehead, as well as behind the back of the head. As for the stitches, 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 locks of hair and bangs under the hat, with one hand protruding its edge.
6. Lightly smooth it so that the item sits extremely comfortable.
