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

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.

I purchased this headband as a “addition” to my swim cap. I am not really a true lap swimmer, but I wanted to start somewhere and the one thing holding me back was my hair. I have thick long hair and once it is wet, it takes forever to dry so I decided to purchase this item along with an extra large swim cap that was made for long, thick hair. The headband works well with the swim cap but there are a few things to remember to do in order to get the least amount of leakage: 1. Make sure you follow the directions on the package. 2. It is fine to put your hair in a ponytail on top of your head to get stray hairs out of the way. 3. I found it helpful to invert my head upside down and then pull the band over my head and ears. It took some time for me to get the routine down but it keeps the top of my head pretty dry. The nape of my neck gets a little wet as the band will “creep” up, but I don’t have sopping wet hair. I can deal with a little dampness. Like most reviews of other products of this kind, there isn’t a perfect seal or waterproof product that will keep your head 100% dry. Again I am not the serious lap swimmer where I am doing flip turns and racing in the water. I leisurely do a few laps, switch to a different stroke, and then come back to lap swimming. I do not know how this band would react when doing lengthy laps, backstrokes, or flip turns. One other thing I should mention is that it is pretty tight around your head and ears so if you are uncomfortable to tightness around your face and head you may not care for this item.

Wow, okay this actually worked. I paired this under my hairbrella swim caps and it kept out about 98% of the water. only a small amount of my hair ends got a little moist. My scalp and strands from front to back and side to side was dry. I love this!

So I've decided no swim cap is going to keep my hair dry. All they do is keep my long hair out of my face so I don't have to keep dunking my head and re-positioning my hair in my hair clip or tie. I even purchased an additional silicone head band hoping if I put this cap over the band that is would created a seal that would keep water out. It does keep the hair at the very top of my head dry, but if any part of my hair gets wet then I have to wash my whole head anyway. Plus I realized the silicone at the base of my hair line is like a sauna that makes me sweat. So half of the moisture along my hairline is perspiration that must be shampooed post workout. So, these caps do not keep me from having to wash my hair every time I swim. So I do what a previous reviewer suggested and apply conditioner to my dry hair before putting my head band and cap on. Then I can swim with my hair out of my face and shampoo after swimming with the least damage to my salon-colored hair. I'll add in some deep conditioning treatments each month and see if I can keep swimming because it's my favorite workout by far.

This item is good idea. However not constantly a dry result. Use mirror to apply as directed. Then cover with the friendly swed dry cap also proposed to keep hair dry Wish it worked to keep my hair dry every time but nope. Not sure if anything out there can?

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.

The band fit tightly on my (child size) head. It was not uncomfortably tight. However, even under a bathing cap it did not keep my hair dry. To be fair, I apply conditioner to my treated hair before swimming to block chlorine absorption. Nothing, including this band will even stay on my head for the 1/2 mile I swim, much less keep my hair dry or water out of my ears. I thought that I would try this, but it does no better job than a swim cap alone. Addition of the band actually makes adjustments as things slide off my head more difficult so I will not be using it in the future.

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 Cap Sync Hair Guard & Ear Guard Headband Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Swim Goggles Cut strip of an exercise resistance band I 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.

Was really good, if you put it in just right it won’t rile up and will keep the water out. Fits well and easy to put on. Good until it broke. It broke putting it on. Used it every time Iv been swimming.

This helps keep your hair off your face but it does slip up after a bit but they all do . I wear it under my swim cap . I’m happy with my purchase but it was very overpriced

Not worth spending any money on. It's expensive and doesn't stop your hair from getting wet as it promises to do.

Doesnt block out water like advertised. Used it with a silicone cap exactly as instructed but my hair still got 100% wet as if it wasnt there.

Did not work
