competition and practice caps will keep about 90% of hair dry. my thought is this: if it is an attempt to keep chlorine out of your hair, it is best to wet your hair with tap or bottled water first. hair soaks up water like a sponge, so if your sponge (hair) is saturated with low chlorine water, then not much else can get in to do damage. aloha

Swim caps aren't necessarily for the purpose of keeping hair dry. They are used to cover the hair to make swimmers go faster. It makes the head smoother and offers less resistance than hair in the water. To visualize this, spread out your fingers like you're ready to do a high-5 and glide it in a tub of water. Try doing the same thing, but with your fingers closed. Much easier, yes? The same thing kind of goes with hair, which is why more girls wear caps than guys.
The same theory applies to why swimmers shave. ANSWER 2itd keep most of ur hair dry for like 200m then after that the water wood leak through
I did a project on this to find that it doesn't matter. Latex or sillicon. They're interchangable.
I personally do not swim with swimmers cap, but it would be awesome to wear one. It depends on how you feel when swimming with cap. Try t if it suits you then use or lose it.
