Do you want to preserve the natural volume of curls or stylish styling in the winter, but have no idea how to do it with a thick headdress? We have selected useful recommendations for you just for such cases. Here are 10 tips on how to keep your hair volume under your hat and surprise those around you with the beauty of your hairstyle!
1. Rose oil
This is an excellent antistatic agent, thanks to which your curls will not electrify in the cold season. Take a few drops of liquid, rub well between your palms and distribute over the entire length of the strands.
2. Hat material
Give preference to hats made from natural fabrics. If this is not possible, make sure that the lining of the hat is at least 70% organic. So the scalp will sweat much less, the effect of greasy and dull hair will disappear. Cut is also important. Avoid headwear that snuggles against the skin and pulls it together.
3. High hairstyles
Try braiding your curls or tying a loose bun at the top of your head. When you take off your hat, shake the strands a little or tilt your head forward and fluff the curls at the top of your head. This way you will achieve two effects at once - natural volume and light attractive waviness.
4. Lack of fixing cosmetics
Varnishes, mousses, foams and even more so gels will play a cruel joke with your hair as soon as you put on a hat. After that, the hair will be difficult to tidy up and will have to be wetted. But conditioners and balms with keratin or jojoba oil, on the contrary, will allow your hairstyle to look luxurious even after wearing hats for a long time.
5. Dry shampoo
It is a wonderful remedy that removes excess moisture from the scalp. Spray a small amount of makeup on the roots after removing the hat and fluff up the hair on the crown. However, this method is better for those who suffer from frequent dandruff.
6. Correct comb
Do you use metal or plastic combs? Look for healthier alternatives as these materials damage the hair structure and cause strands to become electrified. Wooden and silicone combs are considered more gentle. The best option is a sandalwood scallop.
7. Additional drying of hair
Wet hair under the hat turns into chaos, which, moreover, is also difficult to comb. Therefore, try to always dry your head to the end before going outside. Useful life hack: in the last two minutes of drying, turn on the cold air on the hairdryer. Such a simple ritual will make the strands more manageable and will not allow them to lose volume.
8. Scalp massage
Proper blood circulation is very important for healthy hair. Try practicing regular self-massage. Start at the neck, work your way down the back of your head in a smooth circular motion, and finish by stroking the crown and temples. This technique also promotes good hair growth and reduces hair loss.
9. Small bouffant
Take a comb made of good material (see p. # 6) and lift the hair at the roots, combing it back. Try not to overdo it, so as not to damage the structure of the curls and not create the effect of "poplar fluff" on the head.
10. Alternatives to caps
You can immediately choose a headdress for the winter, which will not make the scalp sweat, and the hairstyle will not be pressed down. Experiment with shawls, fur headphones, hoods, bandanas, berets, scarves, and wide fabric headbands.
