Hats may also have a slightly beneficial effect on the health of your hair. During cooler days, hats protect your hair and scalp from the cold and from snow. This is especially beneficial if you go outside with wet hair, which may get weak and become prone to breakage when in contact with the cold. In the warmer months, it is important to protect your hair and scalp from the rays of the sun, as well as from winds and sand if you are at the beach. Hats help prevent a possible sunburn on the scalp. The sun dries out hair, causes the color to fade, and may cause burns on your exposed scalp.
To protect the health of your hair, choose hats which aren’t so tight to the point that they put pressure on your head. Your hat should feel comfortable and not be pressed against your head. When choosing straw hats, make sure the straw is tightly woven and smooth. Straw hats may easily pull on hair, making it break, if the straw is loose and sticks out of the hat. Also, if the weave of the straw isn’t tight enough, sun will shine through it, hence minimizing the UV protection of the hat.
