FAQ

Will a Bunbathers cap keep my hair 100% dry?

No swimming cap can provide total water tightness. 

However when the bulk of your hair is up in the bun portion, your hair will be kept significantly drier than traditional swimcaps, which position your hair all around your head. 

Bunbathers caps are designed to be used for splash protection - to preserve a fresh blowout for example, you can use them sitting in a jacuzzi with kids, swimming some light laps of breast-stroke with your head up, or enjoying the waves at the beach without diving completely under.

What should I do after my swim for best results?

You may need a quick touch-up if hair is damp around the edges of the cap (at the outside roots). Keep your hair in the bun, and blow dry all around the roots. Bonus - salt water or chlorine can add texture at the roots, giving your blow dry an instant uplift!

What if I swim laps?

If you are using them to swim a lot of freestyle laps, your hair will get wet around the edges. The bun will stay reasonably dry, depending on how much you put your head under water. Breaststroke is best for keeping the bun dry.

Bunbathers caps are much more comfortable than regular swimcaps when you have a ponytail or bun, so you may wish to use them primarily for comfort - and because they look great - even though vigorous swimming means your hair does get somewhat wet. 

What are Bunbathers caps made from?

They are made from high grade .7mm silicone, which is much more comfortable and effective than latex (previously used for older, inferior swimming caps).
