    Thanks for reviewing this. I've been thinking about learning to swim but I didn't want to mess up my dreads. So knowing this is out there and it works gives me no more excuses lol
    Oh and I'd like to say that when your hair was out and you that you don't go to work with your hair like that. I thought it looked amazing and that you're beautiful.

    Thanks for the review. I have the 'Dreadscapes' swimcap. I would recommend that you ensure you order the right size. I have a medium and now need to order the small as the medium allowed water in (a lot of water!).

    Thanks for the review. My 7 year old daughter takes swim lessons. She has very thick wavy natural hair down her back. So needless to say we struggle with the average swim cap. I am going to get one of these.

    Thank you so much for this!! My daughters love to swim, but most swim caps can't contain their protective styles. Right now they are loving longer box braids and their standard caps were not going to cut it.

    I am not a swimmer, but I hope to be one someday. My locs are about shoulder length too, and I was wandering about how I would keep my locs from being damaged by chlorine. Good to know that there are products out there like this. Thanks.

    Great review. I swim two or more times a week and my locs are mid back so I am always looking for a cap the will keep me dry and that isn’t a struggle to put on. I have a tips for you if you put a stocking cap under your swim cap you will be a lot dryer around the edges.

    • @lhamilt

    AWESOME review. My 16 mo old locs are NOWHERE as thick and long as yours so I wonder what size I should order? I'm definitely checking out this brands website.

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  6 лет назад

      +CNique Leigh thanks for watching! You would probably be cool with the smallest size they offer because this one is still pretty large for me!

  • @stephanieoni7804
    @stephanieoni7804 2 года назад +1

    Edges wet is a con for me. Those are the most fragile part and if they are getting wet every time, you have to wash them. Even with conditioning, that's no good

    • @lhamilt

    • @lhamilt

      You absolute can go swimming not fully loc’d!

  • @msquitad746

    Hi! About to start my triathlon training. How do you maintain your locs while swimming several times a week? I have 110 locks and they are shoulder length currently.

    • @simpledifference
      @simpledifference 7 лет назад

      if you'd like to purchase a Dreadscapes swim cap and have it shipped from the US not Australia, check out my website www(dot)drydreads(dot)com . We now have children's size too.

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  7 лет назад +1

      I have recently gone back to wearing my locs in two-strand twists for a couple weeks, and then unraveling to maintain my palm roll longer. Inevitably, the bushy hair cometh. But I work to embrace it :-)

  • @Sava10493
    @Sava10493 9 лет назад +3

    Thanks for reviewing this cap! I wanted to know, now that you've been using the cap for a couple of months has your opinion changed at all on it? Would you say that you do your laps and your locs dont get wet at all?

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  9 лет назад +4

      My opinion is that no cap will keep your hair 100% dry, BUT, I will say with this cap - at most I am dealing with damp edges, that's it! And honestly I think that is because I swim with an iPod, so the earbud cord causes the edge of the cap to lift a bit. When I take the cap off after swimming, there is not even enough moisture in my hair to wring it in a towel, it's simply just damp. I have continued to use the cap, and I still love the fact that it comes down low enough that it doesn't pull at my edges, which means no breakage. Thank you for watching and commenting!

    • @Sava10493
      @Sava10493 9 лет назад +2

      +lhamilt Thank you for your response! I'm definitely going to purchase this cap. Since it's only damp, do you even have to wash it after the swim? I don't know about everyone else, but I would love to see a video about what you do with your hair after swimming/a week of training for the triathlon in general (ex: washing, style, and so on).

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  9 лет назад

      No problem! Because it is only damp (and because I'm often limited on time because I generally workout before heading to work) I don't wash it after a swim. In my earlier days of being loc'd I would do a water rinse, but that is because I was wearing swim caps that left my hair saturated with the chlorinated water. If my locs are in two-strand twists, it's very easy to shampoo, rinse, and apply an oil as a moisture sealant - all while maintaining the retwist at the root. I swear by two-strand twists for root maintenance, especially for folks that swim. Alternatively, if you're someone that interlocks, that works too.

  • @StrangeBerry
    @StrangeBerry 8 лет назад +1

    I am wanting to start dreadlocks again. My main concern is I swim everyday and the last time I had locs they forever to dry(3ish hours). I am concerned about damage, mold(dun dun duuuun) and overall swapminess. Would you recommend this as an option so I wont have wet unpleasant hair everyday?

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  8 лет назад +1

      +Shanagins LeStrange I understand your concerns - and mold is very real, I believe I experienced it in the very back row of my locs. You may want to consider double capping. Like a fabric Arena cap and then a latex/silicone cap on top like Dreadscapes. The truth is nothing will keep your hair 100% dry, but double capping can help.

    Do you think your size cap would be to big for an 8 yes old? His locs are shoulder length

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  6 лет назад

      Catching up on my comments, i think it would be too big just because kids have smaller heads. Sorry 😔

    Hello, have you found this product for sale in the US? I looked on Amazon, but it isn't there. The company website doesn't seem to work. I can only see their homepage. Great video! I am looking for a cap that keeps my hair dry. The "My Swim Cap" has pretty bad reviews haha. Thanks!

    • @lhamilt

      Looks like they have some stock on Etsy! www.etsy.com/shop/Dreadscapes

    @butta2234 8 лет назад +1

    @lhamilt I'm interested in getting this cap. I'm going on vacation and I'd Want to swim but I don't want to mess My hair up. I know this is a UK based business. about how long will it take to get to the US? I'll be going on vacation in about 2 weeks. will it take longer than that?
    also did it keep your hair dry all the way?
    thanks in advance 😆

    • @butta2234
      @butta2234 8 лет назад +1

      Ok i finished the video and you said it does keep the hair dry. got it!😆

      +NaturallyCre cool! Did you end up ordering? I believe they are based in Australia but you might be able to expedite the order

    • @butta2234
      @butta2234 8 лет назад +1

      I didn't end up ordering it. It was crunch time and I just ended up braiding my locs back into a ponytail for snorkeling. I was afraid I was going to mess them up or they'd get super frizzy while swimming in the ocean. Luckily, my locs did great!

    • @lhamilt

    @msquitad746 7 лет назад +1

    Also is it better to use the other cap you reviewed with a silicone on top or just this one?

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  7 лет назад +1

      I use a nylon/poly cap under this one b/c of the oil in my hair, it can sometimes cause the cap to slip - especially a silicone one.

      Wait no I thought u were wearing a regular cap bit ur wear caps for dreadlocks

    • @lhamilt
      @lhamilt  8 лет назад

      +Awesome Guy actually you taught me something new! I didn't know there was a proper way to put on a swimcap, now I know the seam should be front to back. The manufacturer of this cap shows it on their sit with their logo in the front, so I assumed that was the way it was supposed to be worn.

    • @ceilingphan8575
      @ceilingphan8575 8 лет назад

      +lhamilt well now that the manufacturer shows that the logo goes in the front I'm not entirely sure anymore pecaise regular or competitive swim caps have the lines in the front and back and the logos on the side but I have never seen caps for dreadlocks . p.s I'm in the swim team for about 2 years and still learning more so I might have this all wrong
