First, let's look at the silicone swim caps. A silicone swimming cap is a kind of swimming cap made of silicone as the main raw material, with the advantages of light texture, good flexibility, high elasticity, wear-resistant and durability, odorless, etc., it is a common swimming cap on the market at present. A silicone swimming cap is suitable for a variety of swimming styles and waters, has good watertight, can completely wrap the head, and protect the hair from soaking and moisture, for people who like to swim, is a very good choice. In addition, the silicone swimming cap is bright and bright in color, and there are a variety of colors and patterns to choose from, so that people have more choices, and at the same time, it can add the personality charm of the wearer.
But silicone caps have some drawbacks. First of all, it will make the head feel tight and airtight to a certain extent. Secondly, it also requires certain skills when wearing, for people with long hair, it is easy to wrap the hair around the swimming cap, but it is more difficult to wear if you do not pay attention, it may also bring unnecessary stimulation and damage to the scalp. Finally, because the silicone swim cap material is soft, and not very high-temperature resistant, users with a higher frequency of use need to clean and maintain it in time, so as not to affect the service life and use the effect of the swim cap.

First of all, the latex swim cap is usually only a choice of black and white two colors, if you can not meet the personalized needs, you need to choose other colors of the swim cap, to increase the personalized elements. Secondly, in terms of maintenance, the latex swim cap needs to be cleaned and dried in time after use, and the latex material also needs to be prevented from direct exposure to the sun, otherwise, it will affect the service life and effect of the swim cap.

If it is just for ordinary swimming hobbies, it is recommended to choose a silicone swimming cap, which is a comfortable, waterproof, long-life swimming cap, and can protect the hair and scalp as much as possible.
