Swimming cap recommendations

Hi
I’m a keen swimmer, I go 3-4 times per week, however I have long hair and don’t like to wash it every time. I’ve tried various rubber swim caps -Speedo, zoggs - as well as my gym’s own brand but can’t seem to find one that is totally waterproof. Any recommendations welcome please!

Have you tried putting two, one on top of the other? With a silicone one being the one on top? They are never truly waterproof as it is not the purpose of the cap. Maybe try something like this underneath www.headcovers.com/waterproof-swim-caps/

Thanks @LeGrandBleu I hadn’t thought about that! I’ll give it a try 😁

As Legrandbleu says they aren't designed to be waterproof but I do find the speedo long hair ones are good and keep my hair a bit dryer.

Thanks @Taytotots I’ll try that as well!

I’ve tried many, and also found the Speedo for long hair by far the best.
My hair just feels slightly damp after a swim

No hats are waterproof I'm afraid in my experience. I wear TYR long hair pace caps for comfort
