SOUL CAP - Large Swimming Cap for Long Hair - Designed for Long Hair, Dreadlocks, Weaves, Hair Extensions, Braids, Curls & Afros - Women & Men - Silicone

I rarely write reviews... and I was skeptical ... but I have to say how impressed I was with Soul Cap! I have shoulder length sister locks and my hair is pretty thick, so I purchased the large cap. I just returned from more than an hour of swimming and snorkeling, and my hair is completely dry!!! (The key, I think, is to make sure it completely covers your ears.) The material is very durable...not skimpy at all. Getting into the water, my husband said, "You know your hair is still gonna get wet, right?!" Soul Cap proved him WRONG! I would recommend this cap for anyone who wants to get in the water...but keep their hair dry!

10/10. Bought one for myself to test, loved it, then got my mom one a couple days later. I bought this because I love swimming but hate the time it takes to dry my hair afterward. Didn’t trust the other brands and was so happy to find one that catered to Black/POC women and our hair. It’s stylish for a swim cap. I used this cap every day for about 3 weeks (chlorinated pool, ocean, and saltwater pool), each time fully submerging my head and swimming regularly. I have butt-length medium box braids which all fit comfortably inside the cap with room to spare. I wrapped the braids around my head then put the cap on - I also wore with my hair in a bun a couple times under the cap but it wasn’t my favorite. I appreciated the tight band (it wasn’t painful) because it kept the cap secure. I recommend measuring the circumference of your head and going by that, you definitely want the band to be 1-2 inches smaller. It’s very durable and I didn’t experience any tearing or other malfunction. It does get warm in the cap, sometimes sweat from inside the cap feels like water seeping in but it isn’t. Tips: pull cap down completely over your ears and about 1-2 inches below hairline for a watertight seal. Make sure your skin is clean and dry without make-up, sweat, hair product runoff, etc. otherwise the band will slip. I found that sweat from inside the cap did NOT cause slippage IF you put the cap on before that starts I also use this in the shower and for deep conditioning. It’s easy to wash and dries quickly. 9.5.25 update: I’ve been using this cap about once a month since I bought it. It’s been to hot springs, saltwater pools, chlorinated pools, the ocean, the bay, um basically all types of water. I’ve had plenty of hairstyles too. Still doing laps, diving, floating, playing around. Still no issues! My mom’s has not been used as much - maybe once every 6 months or so - and hers is fine too. We still recommend! For the deep conditioning I forgot to say you can use a regular plastic bag first then put the cap on over it. I usually do it that way bc it gets slippery but not every time. I’ve used my hooded dryer a few times with no issues… it just gets too hot for me. The cap alone is enough.

I wish there was a silk clothe on the inside, it would make the hair easier to manage. Besides that its very spacious and does keep the water out so, good product!

I tried countless swim caps before discovering this one, including several expensive options advertised on social media. Since finding this cap, I've tossed all the others in the garbage! As a person who swims 3-4 times a week, it's been a game-changer for me. Unlike the other caps that ripped easily, this one is incredibly durable. What’s truly impressive is that it fits perfectly over my bulky hairstyles, including braids, twists, crochet styles, and faux locs, without feeling too tight. I've had no issues whatsoever, and it successfully keeps my hair protected while I swim. I frequently get asked by people at my gym where I found this cap, and I’m thrilled to recommend it to everyone! If you have thick hair and need a reliable swim cap, this is a must-have!

This is great! Finally a cap that fits long locs, and I still have space inside.?As my hair grows I will be able to continue using this cap.

This fits over big hair with no problem and seems very durable. I’ve used this now several times specifically for my children (daughter is a loose natural with thick hair and boys have locs). Each time, the back of their heads gets wet. The front stays dry but water always gets in the back somehow.

I have been using Soul Cap for a few months now. I wanted to give a honest review. I have long locs and swim (freestyle, back stroke, breast stroke) sometimes one to two times a week. I have tried other swim caps and no luck. I even ordered hairbrella, but unfortunately they sent over an incorrect size and I cannot try it out. I put in for an exchange and I am not sure if they will even do it. I have read not to good reviews about their customer service. But, anyway back to Soul Cap and I will honestly say if put on correctly it will keep the water out. So far my locs have been dry. I usually have my locs maintained with styles and even after swimming my hair still looks good. Glad, I found Soul Cap and will recommend to friends.

I really hate to write a bad review especially because it was designed a creative for my type for type of hair and I have short kind of like the awkward stage right now but it was in little twist you know so it was shorter and I've had it for about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks or so now and last week I went to pull it over my ear and a small piece tore off and what you can see on the 1st photo and then today I went to see if I could still wear it and I put my hands in to stretch it out and it just this big old chunk of material just came out just the way that you see it in the second photo I did report it to Amazon and so forth and they were kind to assist me with it and I was going to order another one as you know we suggested that I don't think I want to invest the money in it again because it seems like it's poorly made it but not stay over my ears and this is large for my head cuz I don't have a lot of hair and I don't wear my hair loose but I was always having trouble with it keeping my ears covered and it just kept going up or whatever I don't know and every time I pulled it down it was sweet back up and like I said when I pulled it down over my ears before a small piece came off and then today this whole big large chunk came out when I put my hands in to expand it to put it over my head it just pop like a balloon instantly so this is a very poor product I only gave it to one because he had to give it something but I don't recommend this product I wanted to very much like but it didn't work out unfortunately.. still on the hunt for a good swim cap and I must also say that I'm older and I have nerve damage in my hands and my arm so I'm not very strong and my hands and stuff are pretty weak there not strong and so for this to just come apart that way you would think I had the strength of Ten Men LOL okay thank you for listening
