i guess i just need not buy caps unless they say low profile...but that is sooooo limiting, urgh. the reason to buy low profile is that low profile caps don't hit the top of my ears. i hate it when the caps hits my ears and pushes them out just a bit. and if i stick just the tip of my ear in the cap....well, it looks stupid and it isn't comfy. giving to my gramdaughter as her thick hair helps caps never do this to her.  otherwise it is a really cute cap and the 4 stars are for the quality and cuteness.
