As we enter the fall season and the fast-approaching winter months, there are going to be inescapable days when you just can’t avoid wearing a hat. Hat hair can lead to less volume, frizzy & frazzled-looking hair with a sprinkle of electrostatic twist. In today’s discussion, we will advise you on a few prevention and treatment options for dealing with the effects of hat hair.
Dry your hair – Putting a hat on wet hair is the enemy of maintaining its control. Doing so will cause your hair to flatten out and take the shape of your hat. Wet hair is much like wet sand in the sense that your head will look like a castle after taking off your hat. To avoid this, it is best to allow your hair to dry naturally. If you are short on time, use a dryer coupled with a diffuser to maintain volume.
Moisturize & Condition – Adding a small amount of leave in conditioner before wearing a hat is combative to the static that can arise. Use your fingers to comb the leave in conditioner in your hair.
Match Your Style to Your Hat – The age-old saying stays true, if you can’t beat them, join them. Play with styles that are complimented by hats. Braids & wavy styles are great styles to pair
Choosing the Right Hat – Synthetic material hats are the ideal situations for static & frizz. It is better to stick with primarily cotton or wool hats. The style of the hat also plays a big role. Beanies & trappers usually flatten your hair and limit breathing. Berets, however, play a lighter, less clingy role in your hair and do not cause as much impact on your hair.
The Right Tools for the Right Job – If you anticipate having to wear a hat for an extended period, it’s best to keep some products to assist you in maintaining flare. A light texturizing powder can restore body. Keeping some hair spray and moisturizer can also help restore your hair appeal.
