💦 Step-by-Step: How to Put On the Hairbrella Swim Cap

  1. Open the clasp
    Press the button on the clasp to unlock and open it.
  2. Gather your hair
    Pull your hair back into a low ponytail or bun to reduce bulk and help the cap sit comfortably.
  3. Place the cap at the back of your head
    Position the open cap at the nape of your neck, then gently pull it forward to cover your hair.
  4. Tuck in stray hairs
    Use your fingers to tuck in any loose strands or flyaways. A smooth fit means better water protection.
  5. Fasten the clasp securely
    Close the clasp until you hear a click—that’s your signal it’s locked in place.
    Ears in or out? Wear ears inside for full coverage or leave them out for extra comfort.
  6. Press the crown to remove trapped air
    Gently press down on the top of the cap to release any air pockets for a sleek, snug fit.
  7. Tighten the straps for a watertight seal
    Pull the rubber straps in opposite directions for about 3–5 seconds until snug. Repeat closer to the clasp to finish the seal.

🌊 Pro Tips for the Perfect Fit

  • After your swim: Rinse with cold water and air dry to preserve the waterproof material.
  • Important care tip: Do not place a wet cap on light-colored or stain-prone surfaces. Although our fabrics are prewashed, dyes can still transfer when damp.
  • Adjust your fit: Use the adjustable straps to fine-tune tension—especially if you switch hairstyles often.
