You have curly hair? Sometimes it can be a real pain to get the right hat. You want it to look good on you, fit well, yet be easy on the curls. The right hat really does enhance your curls!

In this article, we will be discussing the best hats that go really well with curly hair. We will look through a few different types of hats, and why they work so well for curly hair; after this, you will have no problem deciding on which hats to wear in keeping your curls great.

Why Choose the Right Hat?

Curly hair is special. It requires a little more TLC to be healthy, beautiful. A bad hat can leave your curls flat or frizzy, and a good hat will protect your curls and give ‘me some extra oomph. So, choose wisely.

Wide-Brimmed Hats

Wide-brimmed hats are great for curly hair. They have a large, wide brim that will shade your curls from the sun. The wide brim allows your curls much space also. That means they won’t get squished. A wide-brimmed hat would be great for an entire day at the beach or just walking in the sun in the park.

Wide-brimmed hats also come in various colors and fashions—some have ribbons or bows, while others are plain and simple. Whichever one you buy; your curls will surely look fabulous.

Bucket Hats

Bucket hats are so much fun, very trendy, and fabulous on curly hair. Since a bucket hat is rather loose on the head, it allows some breath ability for curls. The soft material of the hat is soft against curls; it won’t frizz out or even flatten your hair.

Very many colors and patterns are available for bucket hats. You can get the one that will match your outfit very well or that will match even your mood. Your curls will be feathery soft and bouncy in a bucket hat!

Beanies

The climate is growing pretty nippy outside; you will, without question, need a beanie. Look out! Not all beanies go in harmony with curly hair. Make certain it is from a super-soft, very stretchy kind of material. It has to also keep frizz at a low by a long shot.

Some beanies have a satin or silk lining. This is even better for curly hair. The smooth lining helps your curls be soft and shiny. With the right beanie, you’ll be able to keep your head warm and your curls nice.

Baseball Caps

Baseball caps are a classic choice. They are great for casual days and outdoor activities. But how do they work with curly hair?

You’ll want to choose a ball cap that has this strap adjustment, so the fit is perfect. Your curls can even spring out from the back or sides. This creates a neat impression, casual, for sure. Just don’t cinch it too tightly; you want those curls to remain springy.

Fedoras

Fedoras are classy and smart. They add that touch of sophistication to any outfit. But did you know they are fantastic for adding class to your curly hair?

First and foremost, the fedora is of a solid, structured design. This would help hold curls in place. The brim of the fedora gives protection from both the sun and wind. Also, the fedora sits up on your head rather than fit tightly around it, so there is room for your curls to be full and fluffy.

You can wear one with a dress or with a more casual outfit. It works for just about anything. And your curls will thank you!

Head Wraps

Head wraps aren’t exactly hats, but they are worth mentioning. A head wrap is a piece of fabric that you tie around your head. It works well to protect curly hair.

It keeps your curls all wrapped up snug and secure. The material is very soft and smooth, which means no more frizz and hair breakage. And in a head wrap, you have so many different ways to do them: wrap them all in or give a few curls a peak.

They are also available in various colors and patterns that let you identify with style. Best part? A head wrap is great for those bad hair days. Just wrap it up, and you’re good to go!

How to Care for Your Hair Under a Hat

It’s all fun wearing a hat, but you still have to take care of the hair under there. Here are a few tips:

1. Moisturize Your Hair: Before wearing a hat, make sure your hair is well moisturized. Do not allow it to dry.
2. Use a Satin or Silk Scarf: If you are worried about frizz, fold a satin or silk scarf and place it under your hat. The smooth fabric of the scarf will help protect your curls.
3. Choose the Right Size: You don’t want a snug-fitting hat. It can flatten your curls and cause breakage.
4. Switch It Up: Don’t wear the same hat all the time. Your hair needs a rest and some air once in a while.
5. Wash Your Hair: The hair needs to be washed after wearing a hat all day. Get rid of all the sweat and dirt by washing it; this will really help maintain your curls with freshness and cleanliness.

Conclusion

Getting the perfect hat for curly hair is so easy once you just know what you’re looking for. A wide-brim hat, a bucket hat, or a fedora will make your curly hair absolutely fabulous. You just keep taking care of your hair; you’ve got the most lovely, bouncy curls in the whole wide world.

Now, you’re ready to pick up the perfect hat to go with your curly hair. Try different styles and have fun! Your curls deserve the best, and with the right hat, they will always look amazing.
