It's too cold outside not to cover your head, but what's a girl to do when confronted with the prospect of hat hair? Even if your warm winter hat is the cutest style, it can still leave you with a flat, unmanageable coif underneath when you take it off. But there are a few ways to revitalize your 'do or to avoid hat hair completely. First, find a hat-friendly way to style your hair. The low side braid that is so fashionable among celebrities is a perfect way to keep long, staticky hair in check. Low ponytails that skim the side of the neck can be stylish and sexy, too. Prevent flyaways with a low bun at the nape of the neck. This cute style can be slick or messy. A bun will hold its shape better if hair is curled before twisting it into shape. This way, the tendrils that fall out curl nicely instead of sticking straight out.
Make a low ponytail, then divide it into three sections, curling each around a large-barreled curling iron. Wrap hair around ponytail and secure with your favorite hair pin. If your hair is short and straight, then you might just try a short, sleek bob under a hat. Just be sure to use plenty of anti-frizz serum to keep flyaways away. Big, hot-rolled curls are great under a hat as well. When you take off the hat, try to spread the hat at the base and lift it away from the head gently. Shake out your style if it's not pinned up by bending over and shaking your head. Use a little styling cream or mousse to finger style and prevent static, and you're on your way.
