Head covering?

Post by breatheit » Sun Jun 05, 2022 12:50 pm

Which head covering do you recommend?

Using a ResMed AirFit P30i and the tubes over the head 'break' my hair strands so that my hair is totally unmanageable. There is a giant 'valley' shaped like the tubes and I have tried all manner of stuff including hard core hair gel but the 'ghost' of the valley remains.

I assume something like a kufi would work? What is the best material?

Other thoughts?

No head covering works.

I just deal with it in the morning with a good volumizer gel product. Somedays, I don't want to mess with my hair, so I wear a running cap.

Use a mask that doesn't involve using any headgear at all.
See the mask I am using...link in my equipment profile.

Maybe a Pap Cap? https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pursle ... ozEALw_wcB You don't have to use the chin strap.

Or google "durag" or "skully cap" Some of those look like they'd work.
