Ponytail caps: how to choose yours and keep your hairstyle intact

If you've ever pulled your hair into a high ponytail and tried to wear a regular cap, you already know the problem: either the bun lifts your cap, or you have to pull the ponytail through the closure opening and your hairstyle gets messed up. Auren ponytail caps solve precisely that, with a rear opening designed for your hair.

What is a ponytail cap?

It's a cap with an opening at the back for your ponytail or bun to pass through, instead of the typical rigid closure. This way, your hair stays comfortable, the cap fits well, and your hairstyle isn't flattened or messed up, even with a high ponytail.

How to choose yours

• Auren Signature: magnetic closure that opens for a ponytail or bun and closes with loose hair. The most versatile, in 10 colors.
• Auren Muse: elegant lines for everyday wear, with an adjustable strap and lightweight fabric.
• Auren Halo: designed for high buns and messy buns, with an opening that doesn't flatten them.
• Auren Versa: sporty, with a crossed opening that holds your ponytail while running or working out.

Tips to keep your hairstyle intact

• Style your ponytail or bun before putting on the cap and thread your hair through the back opening, not underneath.
• Adjust the height of your ponytail to the opening: the higher it is, the more exposed your neck will be.
• For very hot days, choose breathable fabrics (mesh or technical) to avoid overheating.

Is it suitable for curly, wavy, or afro hair?

Yes. The opening allows space for any volume without compression. If you want ideas for caring for your hair in summer, check out our free guides for straight, wavy, curly, and afro hair.
