Dive Without Tangles

Long hair? Dive without the tangles.

The MermAid headband keeps your hair out of your mask strap and tangle-free from the first descent to the last safety stop — so you can enjoy the dive, not fight your hair.

Sound familiar?

The silicone mask strap pulls your hair every time you put your mask on or take it off.
Hair slips under the mask skirt, breaks the seal and lets water in.
You surface with a knotted mess that takes ages to brush out after every dive.

The post-dive brush-out nobody warns you about

Salt water + wind = knots

Salt dries your hair out, and the surface swim, boat ride and wind twist it into tangles that can take ages to brush out — and leave a pile of broken hair in your brush.

Dive vacations multiply it

Two or three dives a day, day after day. By day three you're spending more time detangling than enjoying the trip.

Liveaboards make it harder

Up to four dives a day, a tiny cabin, limited fresh water for rinsing and conditioner — there's simply no time or space to rescue your hair between dives.

Wear MermAid on every dive, and skip the brush-out battle.

One headband. Every scuba hair problem solved.

Tangle-free diving

Your long hair is secured in the ponytail wrap and protected underwater, so it comes out of the dive the way it went in.

Anti-slip strap

Your mask strap sits on the headband, not on your hair — no pulling, no slipping, no adjusting mid-dive.

A clean mask seal

No stray strands under the skirt. Pro-tested for a proper seal and total hair protection.

What divers say after their first dive

“LIFE CHANGING! I have long, thick hair and a lot of it. Nothing has ever worked. I was skeptical yours was going to be any different, but omg was I wrong. Unwrapped after the dive and literally just ran my fingers through my hair. I think every female on my dive boat is going to be a future customer.”

— Diver with long, thick hair

“I have wavy hair that gets tangled and matted super easily, especially when diving. But thanks to your headband: no knots, no bird’s nest, and no tangled mess after a dive! I never expected it to make such a huge difference.”

“Last week I went diving for the first time after a looong time and it was amazing — no hair around me, everything in its place. You had a very good idea to create this headband!”

How it works

1

Put on the headband and wrap the pony-tail wrap before you gear up.

2

Slide your mask over as usual — the silicone strap doesn't touch your hair and your long hair is secured in the pony-tail wrap.

3

Dive and surface with smooth, untangled hair. Enjoy surface intervals without the endless brushing.

Questions before you dive in

Will it fit my hair?

It fits most hair up to just below the shoulder blades, including moderately thick hair. Every head of hair is different: shorter but thick hair usually fits well, while very long, thick and curly hair may be too much for the ponytail wrap. If it doesn't work for your hair, you can return it within 30 days.

Is it one size?

Yes. The headband is very stretchy, so one size fits comfortably.

What is it made of? Does it dry fast?

It's made of polyester and dries very fast — ready again for your next dive.

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

Shipping cost and delivery time to your country are shown at checkout, before you pay. See our shipping policy for details.

Can I return it?
