How to Wear a Hat Over a Wig
1. Consider your hat choice When wearing hats with wigs, the first step is to decide on the type of hat that will suit you and your wig the best. Of course, you should choose a style and colour that you like the look of, but consider the material that the hat is made from and its weight.
Any hat that feels heavy can make your head feel hot, uncomfortable and weighed down. If you can, find a hat
that feels a bit too large on just your head, as it gives you extra room for the hat to be comfortably placed on top of your wig. Alternatively, when shopping, take your usual wig with you to get an idea of how it will feel.
2. Be sure to secure your wig
Wig cap or no wig cap when you want to wear a hat and a wig? Definitely a wig cap! A wig cap gives you the security that your wig is securely attached and won’t move or slip around when wearing a hat. If a wig cap isn’t for you, wig tape also has the same effect and secures your wig to your scalp.
3. Gently place your hat
Wearing hats with wigs is easy enough when you put on the hat gently. When you’re not wearing a wig, it’s easy enough to put on a hat when it’s cold outside or if you’re in a rush. However, consider a hat as an addition to your wig, to be lightly placed on top of it rather than pulled harshly down; you don’t want to flatten your lovely wig!
When it comes to how to wear a hat over a
wig, try different angles. For example, you can wear a hat pulled further down and close to your ears for warmth. Alternatively, try wearing the hat at an upwards angle towards the back of your head to show off the front of your wig.
4. Taking off your hat If you’re out and about in public and get too warm, we recommend removing your hat in a private space (preferably a bathroom with a mirror), just in case removing the hat displaces your wig at all or causes the fibres to move. When taking off your hat, use one hand to hold the front of the wig in place to prevent any wig movement and use your other hand to lift the hat off gently. Be
sure to keep a wig brush or wide-toothed comb with you to get rid of any ‘hat hair’, tangles or knots.
