Sync Hair Guard & Ear Guard Headband - Wear Under Swimming Caps

I have medium length wavy hair and swim daily. I have tried many swim caps to keep my hair dry!! While no swim cap is capable of keeping hair 100% dry, here is the routine and products that I have found to keep my hair 85% dry. The 2nd photo is of my hair is right after swimming breastroke and freestyle laps doing flip turns, swimming underwater to 12 feet deep, and floating on my back. Only the back and edges above my ears are slightly damp.TYR Long Hair Swim CapSync Hair Guard & Ear Guard HeadbandSpeedo Vanquisher 2.0 Swim GogglesCut strip of an exercise resistance bandI put my hair up in a high bun that sits right behind my forehead. Then I flip my head upside down and put the TYR cap on with the letters in the front. I ensure that the cap is fully over my ears and hair. Next, I put the Sync hair guard over the TYR cap with the words right side up in the front. I make sure it overlaps the swim cap by about a cm on all sides. Finally, I tie the resistance band strip like a headband over both, making sure it is tied under my ears. The goggles go over everything. Since this pair is small they seal even though the cap is close to my eyes.After swimming I rub a half teaspoon of ascorbic acid powder between my hands and over the wet parts of my hair to neutralize the chlorine instead of getting my hair more wet by rising. This is the active ingredient in expensive swim products, but much cheaper to buy on it's own. I then apply leave in conditioner to the damp areas.

I use this in addition to a regular cap and it is the ONLY things that work to keep my hair dry. I’ve tried multiple solutions from social media but none worked! I even tried Hairbrella and it was a waste of money! This was simple and works every time- it is certainly worth a try!

I love to swim, but the chlorine is terrible for my hair. I had to quit swimming laps, and just do aqua fit to keep from destroying my hair. With just a swim cap, my hair gets soaked. But this clever little device is keeping much of the water out. My hair is long, and the ends get dry and damaged. I still had a little wetness around my face, but this is so much improved. Is a little tight, but I think it needs to be to keep the water out!I would take tight fit over destroyed hair any day.

I tried this because someone in the swimming subreddit claimed it keeps her hair dry. But, like many other reviewers, it did not work at all: there was no difference in how wet my hair got, or how quickly it got wet.Update: It also does not keep water out of ears, it kind of made it worse by holding the water close to my ears.

The media could not be loaded. Looked good but did not keep my hair dry, I may try 2, one underneath and 1 on top

I put it on first, then my Speedo swim cap, then my goggles. Worked great with no need for ear plugs. However, when I put goggles on first, then the band and swim cap, my goggles leaked. If you have an ear disease, you would still need to put something in your ears. Sometimes when I swim, a drop or 2 of water get in, and sometimes my ears are totally dry. You have to fiddle a bit at first to get the best fit. Too low and it puts too much pressure on my head. Too high and it doesn't cover my ears. Just right is easy once you know how.

I loved the idea of a headband that would make my swimcap (mostly) waterproofed - but wow, it is tricky. I suppose that if I didn't move around and do laps, this band might work. However, after a few laps and moving my head normally, the seal breaks and my hair is wet. The idea is great but it just doesn't practically work like I would like. Also it is snug on the head so can cause a bit of a headache. I did read from other reviews that people had luck with it and so I gave it many chances just in case - but every time, a good deal of my hair got wet. Oh! It is good for keeping water out of your ears! My hair always got wet but I the band kept the water out of my ears! So that is a plus.

I actually does help keep my hair dry. I went swimming under water with my son, and I wore a plastic cap, placed this over the edges, and then placed my leak proof swim cap on. The combination was great, and I could be on vacation, swim, and still go to dinner an hour later with great hair that I did not have to wash and dry immediately. The edges near your ears, will get a bit wet, but not the bulk of your hair. I was able to wear for a few hours with swimming goggles, no headache, quite comfortable. And durable, did not tear as I stuffed over my plastic cap. this thing is awesome and I would definitely recommend it.
