Pretty hats have adorned ladies' heads for centuries. Give me an occasion, like a European wedding, horse race, or Easter Sunday, and out comes my collection of pretty hats. I adore wearing them! Do you?
Our youngest daughter, Caroline, had this hat created in NYC to compliment her dress.
I realize now, more than before, how imperative it is to wear my “casual straw hats” when I am outdoors and in the sun.
When wearing any type of hat, the inevitable happens. Hats can give you flat, unattractive “hat-hair” or “hat head.” This phenomenon is either created by the hat's weight or the heat under the hat's crown. Essentially, the hair on the top of one’s head is squished down and not as puffy as before you put your hat on!
Here is my simple secret (which I created out of my hat-hair desperation). It continues to work well for me, and my wish is that it works for you, too, to avoid “hat hair:”
You will need one small hair “claw” clip!
Try to use the smallest “claw” clip to fit unnoticeably under your hat's crown.
Pull the front part of your hair up into a “puff” and clip it. The puff stays pouffy under the crown of your hat until you reach your destination. Once there, remove your hat and take off your claw clip. Voila! The hair on your head will look like it did before you put your hat on. Easy-peasy. Instant “hat-hair” gone, and “happy hair” once again!
Note: Take a peek at my Instagram video HERE to see how I implement this technique!
Also, if you do not have a claw clip, just pull your hair up and puff it inside the crown of the hat the best you can. This method works in a pinch!
