Ababalaya Swim Turban Waterproof Silicone Lined Satin Lined Swim Cap

I use this cap two ways. • I place my my long extension box braids in a top bun, put on a regular x-large swim cap and then puts this over it. Because the bun is so tall, my hair gets a little wet in the back when I'm swimming on my back. • The second method. I sometimes part my extension braids down the middle of my head placing 2 large braids towards the back. I then wrap those braids around my head in opposite directions. Like a criss cross in the back. This methods keeps my hair completely dry. However, I prefer the first method. Why? Although the second method keeps my hair completely dry, the braids wrapped around increases my head's circumference making my goggles uncomfortable and tight. It also takes more work to put the caps over the braids. So, the bun under the cap is just easier all around. Hope this is helpful.

Effective. Lasts longer than expected... I'm on maybe the 13th use and it hasn't stretched out. My hair gets a little damp if I'm not extra precise and careful... but it sure beats a regular swim cap!

I used this to keep my hair oil free while experiencing JabJab in Grenada. It was definitely tight and kept the oil off my hair. It moved around a bit. I had alot of braids in so it had to hold alot of hair. Would recommend. Definitely worth the buy.

Not impressed. Said it’s for longish hair (mine is right above my shoulders) but it’s a pain to get on and off. Pulls the hair. And the decorative leopard wrap is difficult to adjust.

I purchased this product because I previously bought a Hairbella and tried it several times and it didn't work. So, I decided to try another type of swim cap in the hopes of having success. And guess what?! This product absolutely DID NOT work at all. I even tried it twice. The cap comes with a cloth outside and rubber like material on the inside. It is labeled as one size fits all. Although, I am not sure how that is even a thing given that people have different sized and shaped heads, but I decided to give it a try anyway. And I was completely disappointed. The cap fit but was not nearly snug enough to keep out water. I made sure to read the instructions multiple times, which seemed pretty straight forward. The cap appeared easy enough to put on, but just didnt have the tightness needed to keep out water. Per the instructions, if you are able to trap air then you should be good. However, I was able to trap air, but water is an element that is able to seep through several types of surfaces. So, trapping air should NOT be the benchmark for a swimcap working. Hence why it didn't! The cap is made from a material that should in theory keep out water but there are design flaws that prevent it from working. I floating on my back and swam with my head under water and when I broke the surface, I could feel the water seeping out of the cap. I tried the cap on 2 separate days of my vacation and was let down both days. Do not waste your money because your hair WILL GET WET!

Fits well with adjustment and plenty of room for hair piled up on top of my head. Took me some time to figure out best adjustment to have the best seal. The external material is strong and durable. I also like the extra straps to adjust fit of external material as well as I think it looks nicer like a turban. The interior silicone is very strong and durable and does a good job overall with water resistance but water does ultimately get in for me particularly if very active in the water. My purpose was more to keep my hair out of my way versus dry. It’s reasonably comfortable although your ears are muffled due to being covered. Dries easily if material and silicone is pulled apart while drying. Very happy overall.

This item is falsely advertised. This cap is NOT water resistant and will not keep hair dry. It stayed on my head but did not hold water out.

I needed a size down but overall great quality 👌

Whilst the tiniest part of the back of my head was damp in the pool today, it does what it says on the tin! If you’re back and forth on what one to get or if it will work, honestly just buy it - this is worth your money! (I have Afro hair, so prefer to keep it dry due to maintanence) My only question is if the instructions could include how you wash it? Or how you are supposed to dry it after so it doesn’t loose its water resistance?

I used only once and it's torn inside . Gonna return it
