💦 Step-by-Step: How to Put On the Hairbrella Swim Cap
-
Open the clasp
Press the button on the clasp to unlock and open it. -
Gather your hair
Pull your hair back into a low ponytail or bun to reduce bulk and help the cap sit comfortably. -
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. -
Tuck in stray hairs
Use your fingers to tuck in any loose strands or flyaways. A smooth fit means better water protection. -
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. -
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. -
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.
