Hey Avi!

Generally, you’ll want to wear your hair down and in some type of curly or wavy manner as that cap will do the most to wreck your hairdo. It’s been just a few short *ahem* years since I graduated high school and college myself so I don’t remember how large those caps come, but if it fit my head I’m pretty sure there’s some leeway if you wear your hair in a natural style. For natural hair you’ll want to opt for braided or twisted styles to ensure the cap will fit and stay on your head. You may even want to blow your hair out a little to get more of a flat surface at the top of your hair.
