Beanie is the most common and most popular types of headwear for winters. It keeps your head warm, easy to carry and is not a hassle to wear as part of everyday attire. It can be folded and stuffed into pants’ pockets or purse and can be carried all the time to be taken out whenever the weather calls for it. The biggest downside to it, however, is its devastating impact on your hair. When taken off, it can make short hair look like a nest and long hair a complete disaster. It can also leave your hair sweaty, tangled and frizzy. Beanie is known to leave a sad head in its aftermath. The good news is that there are easy and simple ways to make your beanie work without torturing your hairstyle. Here is how to do that.
Adjust Your Hair
If you are going to wear a beanie, it is always better to turn your hair into a bun and stick it inside the headwear. If you have shorter hair then you can blow dry them and build some volume before putting it on. Both ways will prevent the flattening of hair and frizziness. Drying your hair before putting on a beanie is a good idea irrespective of hair length. Damp and wet hair is more likely to get damaged and set in a weird curve if they get dried with the beanie on.
Fabric And Size Matter
Another thing to keep in mind is to choose the right stuff for your beanie. Wool and cashmere are the best chances to avoid static and hence frizzy hair. Cotton can work too. It’s light and less stretchable. Also make sure to pick up the beanie with a size bigger than exact fit. This will not only prevent headaches from tightness if you wear it all day long, but also avoid the flattening of hair or making them sticky to your scalp.
Hairstyle Tricks
Beanies often make hair wavy in the covered area. So to disguise the beanie effect, add loose curls or waves to your hair outside the beanie as well. When you will take it off, the waves from the covered area will resemble the waves you intentionally added to rest of the hair and the hairstyle will look much better. You can also braid your hair or sweep them on one side to avoid flat hair until beanie rim and fluffy downwards
Don’t Take It Off Or Keep A Brush Handy
The cheat trick is to keep it on the entire time you are out of home after you done it. That will let you get by the day looking great and not worrying about the aftermaths of beanie. Otherwise, take out your brush and straighten those curls and smoothen those flat fringes once you take it off.
Beanies are never going to go out of style, so it is always better to go with the flow and use them as much to your style and comfort advantage as possible. Use these simple tips and make your post-beanie look as great as with the beanie on.
