it really stays on [SEP] this is a good cap except the band is a little too tight at first to fit my big old head it does stay on it really does stay on my caps usually come off and are all over the bed or on the floor by the middle of the night not this one that sucker stayed on through thick braids my massive amount of curls twists and sleeping bad this thing did not move at all the only thing was that because the band is so tight it left a line on my forehead but i can deal with that to keep a cap on all night
