Ensure your hair is totally dry before you grab for the beanie. We know the scenario all too well! You’re dashing out the door, you’ve put on your chicest new ensemble but the weather outside is quite frankly, frightful! So you grab for your cutest beanie.

Yes, your hair will “set” under your hat and you’ll be left with the visible shape of your beanie for the rest of the day. Not a good look!

Choose the fit, shape, and style of your headwear carefully.

We get it. It can be cold outside and heat escapes from our extremities. Heads, fingers and toes! Jack Frost likes to nip them all. Coarse materials will cause friction and frizz, so your best bet is to go for hats made with cashmere, silk, angora or fine merino knit. Also, the tighter the hat, the worse your case of hat hair will be. So, go for something more loose fitting to keep your hairstyle intact.

Top tips on reducing unwanted static. To avoid that dreaded static that can make your hair stand on end, the trick is to ensure that your hair is super moisturized before you don that wooly winter hat. Cutting back on heat styling tools during the harsher winter months can really pay dividends. Also, regularly using a nourishing hair oil is an absolute must. Our Fluoro5 Elixer Restore and Repair Oil is a miracle worker! Just a few pumps to dry hair before styling, or run through the ends of dry hair once styled to deliver exceptional shine and silky, soft, frizz-free strands.
