The best way to manage your hair while diving is with scuba diving headbands. These headbands will be particularly helpful for divers with long hair who need to make sure that their hair doesn't get in the way when they dive. These headbands prevent diving earplugs slipping in the water.
Fabric cutting
Scuba diving headscarves are a great way of protecting yourself underwater. These headbands are lightweight and durable. They keep hair from dangling on the neck and face. These headbands can be made with fabric from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles.
Scuba diving headbands come in many different designs. Some diver headbands feature artwork that depicts marine life. Nudiwear has a diver headband with artwork featuring a hammerhead Shark, whaleshark, or octopus. Sewing Waves offers headbands with marine-themed illustrations by Sewing Waves.
Recycled plastic cans
Using recycled plastic bottles to make scuba diving headbands is a great way to reduce ocean plastic waste. There are many options for headbands, including ones made from plastic bottles or ones made from recycled water bottle. Some of these options are more environmentally-friendly than others, however. The Ocean Headband is made of three 16-ounce recycled plastic bottles. This headband can also be worn under water or on dry ground and has a nudibranch-inspired design on one end.
Diver headbands are great for keeping hair out of your face while diving and can protect your scalp from the sun. Danielle Burnside, a local Hawaiian artist designed the headband and was inspired by Kona Manta Night Dive. Space Fish Army also sells a range of ocean-inspired designs.
Beanies
Diver's headbands have many purposes. The headband helps protect the scalp and keeps hair from falling out while you dive. A diving headband can also be used to keep your ears and head warm when you are not in the water. These headbands often are made from recycled plastic bottles, and have designs that include whalesharks, Hammerheads, and Octopus.
Headbands with hair ties are an option for divers who keep their hair down. This accessory is made of two circular bands, each connected by one length of elastic. It wraps around the hair, from the top to its base, and ties it around the base. This works great for long hair divers and can be used as an alternative to braiding. It comes in a variety colors so it's a practical gift that can be given to mermaids with long hair.
Buns
Buns are a good choice for Scuba Diving hairstyles. They are less likely that they will fall out than French braids or ponytails. For long hair, you can tie your hair in a bun and secure it with hair ties or a wrap. This will protect your mask and keep your hair out from the water.
Braided pigtails
A headband with braided or pigtails allows you to keep your hair off your face while diving. You can make a ponytail high or low, but be sure to allow for your mask strap. The high ponytail can be secured by a one or two-strand ponytail holder.
For long hair, pigtails work well. Because the braids are held tightly together, your hair will not slide around. This style is also less likely than French braids to snag, making it better for diving. You should take extra care when combing out your hair after diving. You can also use a scuba diver's head scarf. They are usually made from bandana-type fabric with a long strip of fabric at the top.
