Easy ways to get rid of 'hat hair'

Whether we are wearing our fav designer hat or trying to stay warm in our beanie - living in Manitoba, hat hair is inevitable and unavoidable - so whats a girl to do when she wants to wear her favourite headwear?

Here are 5 things you can do to help fix hat hair

  1. Before you put the hat on - your hair has to be dry! If it’s wet or even damp, your hair will dry to the inside of the hat, making your roots flatter and causing indentions. Carefully place your hat on your head in a mindful manor that doesn’t mess up your hair too much.

  2. When in doubt ring-it-out - try the damp towel method, it will ‘iron’ out any indents or lines left behind. Simply take a hand towel or hair towel, rinse under hot water, ring it out until damp not wet and carefully pat down any indents or wrap the towel around your head.

  3. Here are 3 favourite products that will help minimize and revitalize any hat hair:

Living Proof’s Full Dry Volume + Texture Spray

Instantly transforms fine, flat, or thin hair

Delivers instant, revivable, and long-lasting volume that will help hat hair on the go, from root to tip.

Living Proof’s no frizz Vanishing Oil

Tames frizz, flyaways + static

A fast-absorbing oil that vanishes into strands to hydrate and block humidity, leaving hair smooth and shiny.

Living Proof’s Flex Hairspray

Brushable, layerable, and reworkable

can be used to reset and style without any stiffness, leaving hair touchable.

*B+P tip: opt for travel size products you can take on-the-go with you if you know you will be taking your hat off

4. Hat hair can be even more worse for those who have ‘above the shoulder length’ - if you wear hats often, try keeping your crop longer for the winter months. If a longer style isn’t an option, remember to try the damp towel method.

5. Invest in a silk or satin hair wrap. Try wearing one under your hat, it will be perfect for beanie and snow hat weather as it will keep your style frizz-free and protected beneath your hat.
