This cap is super easy to use. Just put it on your head and adjust it to fit comfortably. When you're out in the sun, it'll protect your face. As for maintenance, you can hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it may damage the fabric. Hang it to dry. And don't iron it directly on the print, as high heat can cause the colors to fade. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
