Easy Steps to Wearing Tribal Wave Africaps

Be ready to head out for work with your Tribal Wave satin-lined medical scrub cap with these easy steps from Crystal:

Hold your Africap by the elastic with the backside facing away from you and the front side facing you.
Put the front part on first, then punch your hair up into the cap, flipping all the hair underneath.
Once all of the hair is in the cap, take the ties, then tie them in the back. You can either leave them hanging by your shoulders or tie them one more time like a shoelace.

It’s that easy!

Here’s what Crystal says in the video:

Hi, everyone! My name is Crystal and I am here today to show you how I put on my Tribal Wave surgical satin-lined scrub cap. So for those of you who don't know, I am a certified registered nurse anesthetist and I work in the operating room; and our regulations are that we have our heads covered with some type of protective headgear. So I absolutely love these caps. One, because they have very beautiful patterns -- African patterns -- and two, because of the satin lining that protects my locks. I have sister-locks. I've been growing them for five years, as of this May. And as you see, I also have the side of my head shaved -- barbershops is closed, so don't judge me.

But the typical surgical cap that either most operating room suites provide or plain cloth caps that you can purchase from other companies really don't have this satin protective lining. So I absolutely love these, all of their caps come with this. And so I'm just going to show you very quickly how I put mine on.

Disclaimer, this is not typical, or get what you see -- you will not see me look like this when I give you the anesthesia, okay, but you'll see this. So let's put on a Tribal Wave cap. So I like to hold mine with the elastic back facing away from me, and this is the flat front. So the front is facing me, the elastic backside of it is facing away. And what I do is I put the front part on first, as you can see, and then I like to take my hair, my locks, and just punch them up here and flip them underneath.

Now you see I have a lot of hair and this cap gets all of it up there. No lock left behind. So they're all up there. Okay. And so now I'm going to take the ties -- there are two ties, and I'm just going to tie it in the back here. Now you can either leave it like this, I don't like to because I don't like stuff touching me. So I'm going to actually tie it in the back like a shoelace. So now it has like a little bone in the back. And I'm ready now I'm ready for work. No, I'm not ready for work because I'm not dressed properly.

But anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial, and I hope that you're staying safe during this pandemic. We are all praying for you. Thank you to all the healthcare workers on the front lines.

Enjoy your Tribal Wave Africap!
