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

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 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!

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 have not actually used this in a pool yet, but I have a large head and long hair and am THRILLED that this fits! Not only did all of my hair fit, but so did the hair clip that I was wearing to keep my hair up. I was having a very hard time trying to put this cap with one hand and holding my hair up with the other. No idea if it will keep the water out of my hair, but at least it fits and didn't give me a headache.

Great product, water still gets in my hair so I may need to size up.

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.

Compré esta gorra, porque mi cabello en ese momento era muy largo y me cubrió muy bien

I'm happy to found this large swim cap, ordered a large for long hair, it fitted well with excess room at the back though. With this big design felt comfortably covering ears & forehead without feeling too snap tight.

Die Badekappe lässt sich einfach aufziehen und beherbergt gut und sicher lange dicke Haare. Bis auf die Ränder hält sie auch dicht und drückt nicht. Sie hat ein angenehmes Tragegefühl (soweit man das bei Badekappen überhaupt sagen kann).

Extremely useful, keep my hair and braids dry mostly. Part of the hair on the back of the head around the neck get damp sometimes but overall better than any other cap I have used before. I strongly recommend

I have had this cap for a while now, the company graciously sent me another when the first one did not seem to protect my hair well after a few uses. I truly cannot complain. I couldn't find this purchase to review but now I have, 2 years later!! Seriously, thank you soul cap for this innovation as I would not have had the enjoyment I do swimming regularly knowing my Afro hair is well protected, braids and all. To Note: For best fit, once cap is on the head, fully covered no exposed ears. Expel all air from cap, pushing towards skull while holding a small gap with other hand creating a vacuum and boom....Very very minimal seepage in my opinion and this is what I have been doing the last year, well, since we could access pools again post COVID. Well done soulcap! Very comfy to wear.
