Best style of hat for bad (or lazy) hair day?

[silibran]

In the colder months, I wear a cadet cap made from recycled wool sweaters. It is lined with a soft knit. I like it for me, although after years of wear it has gone out of shape a bit. I like it because there are several fabrics in it. I think it is interesting.

When it is really cold, or a strong wind is blowing, I have a thick pull on hat made from recycled sweaters. It really squeezes my ears, so I only wear it when it is cold. I hope to locate the hatmaker who makes these to buy a new cadet cap.

In warmer months I use several ball caps and one sun hat. For interesting caps, check out Duluth Trading.

You could learn to use head wraps. I am sure there must be online instructions for this.

I really hate to see age 60+ women in ponytails, especially the little short ones. They look so silly.

I sometimes long for the days when few women left the house, or so it seemed, without a scarf like this.

I remember my mother and grandmother had dozens of them. Some were kind of sheer so really didn't hide a bad hair day.

My guess is, OP, you look absolutely fine. I have friends who think their hair is too thin, or too . . . whatever, and they look fine.

A woman in this time period who wears a hat might be completely bald from chemo, or growing back chemo hair.

If you just have naturally thin hair, not from chemo, you look good.

I always kind of think women look just fine as they are.

I still have a few of those from the “old days.” I wear them around my neck now! They are very pretty.

Does anyone have thoughts on scarves or hats for days when I don't want to mess with my hair, but I still want to look somewhat pulled together? I don't want anything big (like a sun hat). I've even been looking at some of the "chemo turbans," which can be cute, but not sure if that would seem weird for a non-cancer person to wear.

Links or photos would be great!!

How about the messy bun?

Try a wig. It will do the same things that a hat would, other than keep sun out of your eyes. It's low maintenance. Your scalp doesn't show when you sweat. You can have different styles for different moods.

This is a good info and hope that there is an update

I love scarves but remember when women wore them like this. We had a name for them back then, Babuska, translation, old lady.
