I look like a hot mess with short hair! I pull mine back into a low ponytail but my hair is super fine and I have wisps around my face constantly escaping. I’m wondering if those hoods stay on if I have to remove my mask or if it’s a pain to have to first fix the hood then the mask.

What does every use to keep hair out of mask? Beanie? Thin hood? I’ll only be diving in warmer water so don’t need anything for warmth (although I am cold blooded so up to 3mm won’t be uncomfortable). During confined skills having to remove/replace mask I was always getting thin hairs caught...
