"Hat days" are assumed to cover up hair that isn't fit for public consumption. But it's time to dispel that line of thinking. Hats are a style all their own, and rocking them should not be contingent upon bad hair days and uncooperative hair nights.
You can pop on a hat and have cute hair, too. It's true! Read on for a few easy and super cute hat hairstyles that will have your hair and hat game coming off real strong.
There's nothing quite as sophisticated as a Georgina hat paired with loose, sultry waves. This look says you've got a secret, and you're not one to kiss and tell.
But onlookers may guess that your secret lies in those wondrous waves achieved with the Megastar Hair Straightener—a styler equipped with one-inch floating plates and conditioning technology that maintains moisture and eliminates frizz, all while achieving effortless results without damage.
There are a ton of ways to create waves depending on the length of your hair and how tight or loose you want the wave to be.
With this particular style, the trick is to keep the wave simple and loose, so that the boldness of the Georgina is balanced nicely by the simplicity of the strands.
Still looking for cute hat hairstyles?
How about a beret atop a full, curly afro? Oui, oui s'il vous plaît! Pairing hairstyles with hats can feel tricky but adding this simple, iconic French style to a fabulously free mane results in a duo that's meant to get attention.
With so much volume and texture to show off, it's not necessary to do a lot to make this style pop. If you're starting with wet hair, glide on the NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle Serum from root to tip.
This delicate, lightweight hair primer will act as a leave-in conditioner and shine enhancer. Once your hair is dry, pick at the roots to add the fullness that will contrast perfectly with your sleek beret. And oh là là...
Next on our list of cute hat hairstyles is this awesome and easy to make option.
Sometimes in life, all you need to get by are the three Bs: bob, bangs, and a baseball cap. At first blush, this trio might not sound like a strong move, but it's a summer style trifecta.
With a mix of sporty casual vibes and classic sophistication, baseball caps have loads of potential for cute hairstyles with hats. You'll show everyone that being low-key doesn't mean being low on style.
Using the NuMe Style Setter Hair Straightener, the slimmer plates will allow you to focus on smaller portions of hair to achieve perfectly smooth sleekness. For hold, set the look with Freeze Please Finishing Spray. Then slip your favorite baseball cap on and add another "B" to your list: babe
The last on our list of cute hat hairstyles is when mixing the masculine feel of a bucket hat with the femininity of sweet, bouncy curls results in a style that's perfect for all your seaside adventures. In just a few minutes, you can achieve soft, cascading curls with the NuMe Classic Curling Wand.
Available in 19mm, 25mm, and 32mm barrels, this wand will give you any size curl you fancy. And its tourmaline ceramic construction offers a smooth, friction-free surface to reduce breakage and promote healthy hair styling.
So basically, you're getting all the fun without the drama. Top off the style with the Hottie Alert Shine Spray to make sure those curls don't set sail. Put on your hat, and your look is complete. P.S. You'll look like a total catch.
Now that you got some awesome ideas for effortless and cute hat hairstyles, let's not forget about the importance of taking care of your hair under your hat. So, let's take a look:
Ideally, you should opt for hats made from natural and breathable materials like cotton, wool, or straw. Avoid hats with tight bands that may cause friction and tension on your hair, as this may lead to long-term damage - and let's not forget about the frizz!
Avoid hats made from synthetic materials, or ones made with rough or coarse fabrics. Tight-fittings hats are also a big no if you are looking to rock your cute hat hairstyles without causing damage to your hair.
Don't forget to regularly wash and condition your hair to keep it healthy and free from excess oil and dirt. We recommend using a vegan shampoo and conditioner made from natural ingredients and without harsh chemicals or parabens, such as the NuMe Vegan Tourmaline Hair Care set.
A clean scalp will also reduce the chances of developing unpleasant odors under the hat so you can enjoy your cute hat hairstyles for longer.
If you don't have much time in between washes, you can also discover the magic of dry shampoo to absorb dirt, oil and grease from your hair.
As we mentioned earlier, tight hairstyles can be more damaging to your hair than you can imagine.
Tight ponytails, buns, or braids can cause strain on your hair and scalp, leading to breakage and discomfort. Instead, opt for looser hairstyles that won't get squashed under the hat.
Applying a leave-in conditioner can help keep your hair moisturized and protected, especially if you're wearing the hat for an extended period of time. Opt for serums like NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle, made from natural, sustainably sourced ingredients such as Macadamia Oil.
This serum is perfect for adding hydration and shine to your hair, all while boosting elasticity - this will allow you to rock your cute hat hairstyles without worrying about frizz and dryness.
Place a soft cloth or a thin scarf between your hair and the hat's interior to reduce friction and prevent your hair from getting tangled.
In addition, look for hats that have ventilation holes or mesh panels to allow airflow and prevent excess heat and sweat buildup, which can be damaging to your hair.
Whenever possible, take breaks from wearing the hat to allow your hair to breathe and recover from the confinement.
Constantly wearing a hat can lead to a warm and moist environment on your scalp, which promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi. This could potentially result in scalp issues like dandruff, itching, or even infections - which is definitely not the point of trying out new and cute hat hairstyles!
Hats can also trap heat and sweat on your scalp, which can lead to excessive oil production and scalp irritation. Taking breaks gives your scalp a chance to breathe and regulate its natural oil production.
Before going to bed, apply a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to nourish your hair overnight and counteract the effects of wearing a hat during the day.
If possible, sleep on a silk or a satin pillowcase to reduce the friction that the pillow causes to your hair, thus reducing frizz and damage to the cuticles.
Wearing a hat alone doesn't cause hair loss. However, tight hats, worn for prolonged periods, can lead to traction alopecia due to excessive pressure on hair follicles. Regularly taking breaks from hats can help prevent this issue.
When wearing a hat regularly, aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week. Adjust frequency based on scalp oiliness, hat material, and sweat buildup to keep hair clean and healthy.
