Hats have many different purposes during the summer months. You may want to keep your face shaded on sunny days or you may simply like how a particular hat looks on you. Regardless, wearing a hat often comes with the dreaded hat hair after you remove it. As unavoidable as hat hair may seem, changing up your quality hair care routine a bit can tame it down so you won’t have to spend a long time fixing it afterward. Here are some tips to consider for preventing hat hair.

Use Your Fingers To Freshen Up Your Look

The first thing you may want to do after removing your hat is to grab your brush and run it through several times. This is one of the easiest ways to make your hair look frizzy instantly. Instead, run your fingers through your hair and use a small amount of dry shampoo if you have it available. And if you have the time and want to completely freshen up your look, give it a quick wash with your sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.

Tucking the hair behind the ears instead of allowing it to hang freely under your hat can also prevent creases in the hair. It’s especially important to do this if you plan on going out after you remove your hat or need it to look good immediately afterward. Of course, you can always clip in hair extensions to hide any creases or blemishes. Letting your hair fall freely under your hat may look better, but you’ll have to deal with the potential consequence of hat hair afterward.

Grab A Silk Scarf

Silk scarves worn as bandanas underneath the hat can protect the hair and maintain its shape. A silk scarf works similarly to a silk pillowcase in that it prevents frizziness, and in this case, hat hair. It’s easy enough to tuck away the scarf inside the hat so no one else will even know you’re wearing it. You shouldn’t have to take extreme quality hair care measures to prevent hat hair, and something as simple as a silk scarf may do the trick for you.
