Abstract

The invention is summarized as an underwater hair containment system (referred to herein as the “underwater hair containment system”) comprising a dive mask, a mask strap connected to the dive mask, and a pliable pocket for storing hair connected to the mask strap, wherein hair from a person wearing the dive mask can be tucked into the pliable pocket. The underwater hair containment system prevents long hair from getting tangled in scuba gear and underwater terrain. The underwater hair containment system allows a swimmer or diver to quickly and easily contain long hair during underwater activity. The underwater hair containment system also reduces exposure to the elements and keeps hair in place.
