Wear Your Hair with a Hat

Hats are a great style accessory that can make a casual outfit more fun, or add a dash of elegance to a lovely evening outfit. Try positioning a hat on top of an elegant up-do or a sleek ponytail. Add a woven hat to beach wavy hair for a fun, relaxed look. For men, go for the slicked back look or the ever safe buzz cut underneath your hat.

Steps

Wearing Your Hair with a Men’s Hat

  1. Cut it short. For men’s hairstyles, the easiest way to get away with hat hair whenever you want is to opt for a shorter buzz cut. This look works with basically any kind of hat, and you don’t have to worry about the embarrassing hat hair creases once you take the hat off.[1]
    • If you decide to sport this look, make sure you use conditioner or moisturizing shampoo that protects against dandruff. You don’t want to get flakey dandruff all inside your hat.
  2. Let the curls hang out. If you’ve got curly hair and you still want to wear a hat, have no fear! Curly hair looks cute peeking out from under a baseball cap or a fedora. Use a moisturizing agent (like a gel product) to avoid flyaways.[2]
    • Try not to let the curly hair stick out of the hole on the back of the baseball cap – especially if you’re wearing the ball cap backwards. This might look a little sloppy.
  3. Slick it back. Whether your hair is long or short, straight or curly, a slicked back look works well with most hat styles. Apply some hair gel to your hair right after washing it, and smooth it back across the top of your head and down in the back. Let your hair dry a bit and then add the hat.[3]
    • You can comb it back with a brush or comb for an extra sleek look.

Aiming for a Casual Look

  1. Go curly. No matter the length, curly hair looks cute and playfully feminine when it is paired with a hat. Add some styling mousse to bounce up your curls, or sleep with twisted buns the night before. When you wake up, let the curls fly and throw on a cute cap.[4]
    • This is a great option for the day before you need to wash your hair.
  2. Pull it into a loose side braid. Pull your hair to the side and separate it into three equal chunks. Braid each strand, one over the other, without pulling too tight. Tie if off at the bottom. This will create a cute loose braid that you can add a hat to for a classically casual look.[5]
    • You can try a loose braid down the back for a variation of this look.
  3. Wear a woven hat. Woven hats are great for a summertime look. You can style your hair into beachy waves, pull it into a side braid, or straighten it out for a more casual sleek look.[6]
    • Try pairing the woven hat with some worn-in jeans or with a cute sundress.

Wearing Your Hair with a Fancy Hat

  1. Straighten your hair completely. Straight hair is classic and classy. Add some anti-frizz serum to your post-washing routine, and then blow dry your hair using a round brush. Run a straightener through your hair, one section at a time, until it become straight and frizz-free. Add a cute fedora hat or a floppy hat with flowers.[7]
    • Try to use the blow dryer and the hair straightener on low heat. This may take longer to complete the job, but it will protect your hair in the long run.
  2. Try a cute up-do. Twirl your hair up into a bun, or twist it into a cute semi-ponytail. Focus on the details so that they’ll still be visible once the hat is on. Place the hat carefully on top of your up-do and head out for an elegant night.
    • Try this cute rolled up-do. Start with a loose ponytail and twist the length, bringing it back across the back of your head and tucking in the ends.[8]
  3. Pull your hair into a sleek, low ponytail. Use a brush to comb your hair back into a sleek ponytail. Try doing the bottom half first, then brushing back the top half and combining it with the existing ponytail.[9]
    • Make sure the level of your ponytail works with the position of your hat.
