While swimming, is it necessary to wear a swim cap if one has long hair? If so, why?

Some public pools will require you wear a cap so that your hair doesn't clog up the pool filters. \nSome people like to wear caps in order to try and not get chlorine on their hair. Some like wearing caps because it's more comfortable to swim with a cap. \n\nIn short - unless the pool requires you to wear a cap, it's up to you if you wear it or not.

I think it's a feminine thing. It makes us look more feminine. But if a guy can't accept you for who you are inside and just likes you b/c you have long hair then screw him. Hair is hair. I have short hair. And it's not easy to take care of. It takes 3 hours to dry...and several tries of getting it into a pony tail...and its not much easier to wash either. I have extremely thick hair so it gives me less headaches b/c its not pulling on my head.

Before you swim, make sure you get your hair wet with unchlorinated water, as your hair is less likey to soak up chlorine when it's already saturated with something else. After you swim, wash your hair with a swimmer's shampoo that gets chlorine out of the hair. You can find a product like that at a Walgreens.

I’ve never seen this.  When I swim I take a breath just before turning, exhale while doing a flip turn and then breath the next stroke.  You have to exhale while doing the flip turn otherwise water will go up your nose, very uncomfortable.

wear ear wax/plugs when you swim. There is also a product called aqua ear that you can buy from a swim shop. All you need to do is place a few drops in each ear when finished and it clears/dries it up!!!!

If you stay in the water TOO LONG then your skin is obviously going to because you've deepend the D.N.A lines\nToo much science stuff to understand? Ask your local neighbour!

Long hair makes me feel sexy.  When I have bare arms or back or even across my neck, the strands glide and tickle.  If I move just right, my hair feels like silk draped over my shoulders.\nShort hair makes me feel more masculine.

first, tie your hair up in a braid, and then put a shower cap on your head. then put the swim cap over it. your hair will only get a little wet but should stay mostly dry. (sounds crazy but it works)

Some do, some don't\n\nPersonally, if her hair is in good condition, I believe long hair is alluring for several reasons:\n\nIt shows that she takes care of herself- because long hair is A LOT of work.\n\nAnd it's exotic- not many women have really long hair.

I was a USS and NCAA Div I swimmer, and I'm now a coach, and I have never seen a swimmer shave his or her eyebrows (there are a few swimmers out there with a genetic hair difficiency where they naturally don't have eyebrows).  I suppose they are doing it to reduce drag, but there is NO advantage to shaving your eyebrows.  Shaving your legs has a moderate impact in reducing drag, but your eyebrows do not cause drag.

Yes it is okay to use a tampon when your going swimming. Iv'e done the same thing your wondering about and it was fine with me but just make sure to brings extra's just in case. But i think it will be fine. Because i went swimming with a friend and i wore one in the pool and nothing came out and everything was great.

i do not know of any remedy, however i would like to let all men know that this really isnt the worst thing in the world. my husband and my brother stress over this daily and wear baseball caps to cover their hairloss. i personally think it is sexy and i feel that all you guys losing your hair really shouldnt worry so much. its not a big deal. maybe you should shave your head bald then no one would ever know.

No. In many religions it was required for an older girl or woman to keep her hair at least partially covered. With a hat, scarf, mantilla, or even a paper towel in a pinch.\nA woman's hair was looked upon as a "crowning glory" for her, and it was a simple gesture of humility and modesty for her to wear something on her head.\nThe same wasn't thought about men's hair, so men removed their hats as a show of respect.\nIt's as simple as that. Being an older woman, the Queen probably is just sticking with the old traditions.

I think long blond hair on a guy can look really nice, cool and sexy. I wouldn't get it braided or anything. I think I'd just wear it back in a long tail. I had a neighbor who did this (he worked in construction) and he was pretty hot.

Personally, I Like it to be shaven, or at least neatly trimmed. I don't like to get hair in my mouth. Besides, it is soon summer and you don't want to look like you are smuggling a squirrel in your swimsuit, do you?

yes you sweat, here are some references\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Aj2sWTxHadgLxuvCu9Z2hKojzKIX?qid=1006051511387\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Avj2Fhv5IAZBqd3EdkTr3_0jzKIX?qid=1006030404813\n\nIt has been asked a couple times here, and the answer is yes, when you are swimming hard, your body still needs to cool down more than what the water is cooling it. Thats why you sweat.. if you dont believe me, look at swimmers when they finish their races... are they red? .. if the answer is yes.. their body temp is high.. even if they are surrounded by water they will sweat

if you decide to leave a little bit of hair remember to trim the hair that you are leaving to a shorter length. Leaving a little is what i prefer for the winter of the days that aren't as hot. For the summer and to wear your bikini i would think it is better if you went bald. Also going bald would prevent odor, infections, etc...
