Troubleshooting
Cap is too tight
Gently stretch the cap before putting it on. If persistent, consider alternative cap materials or styles if head size is significantly larger than average.
Hair not fully contained
Ensure the cap is pulled down fully to cover the hairline and ears. For very long hair, consider braiding or twisting it before putting on the cap.
Latex smell persists
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and allow to air dry in a well-ventilated area. The smell usually dissipates with use and proper care.
