Can You Wear a Hat With A Wig?

Hats are one of the best hair accessories! They offer sun protection, keep you cozy in cooler weather, and add a fun fashion statement to any outfit. However, you may be wondering, “can I wear a hat with a wig?” Absolutely! Wearing hats with wigs is no different than pairing accessories with your outfit! Here’s your go-to guide for how to wear hats with wigs, from choosing the right fit to tips for all-day comfort.

Tips for Wearing Hats with Wigs

Wearing a hat with a wig can be a fun and stylish way to change up your look, but it’s important to do it the right way to stay comfortable and maintain your wig’s appearance. Like other accessories, finding the perfect hat to not only match your outfit but also fit your wig is key. Here are some tips on how to find the best hat for your wig.

Find a hat that frames your face.

Not every hat complements every wig style, so try out different combinations to see what works best for you.

Practice putting on and taking your hat off while wearing a wig.

Choose lightweight materials to avoid overheating, especially in hotter climates.

When applying a hat over your wig, don’t squash it on your head. This may put unnecessary pressure on your scalp. Instead, put your hat lightly on your head and adjust its position as needed for a secure fit.

Use bobby pins to help keep your hat securely on your wig. Add two or three at the nape of your neck as well. Make sure you're careful not to puncture the wig cap with the bobby pins.

Buy a hat one size too big to find the perfect fit!

Keep your wig moisturized. Use a good leave-in conditioner for your wig to keep the hair nice and lustrous under your hat!

If you have a sensitive scalp or going out in hot weather, try wearing a halo wig under a hat.

Baseball Caps

When you’re styling your wig for a baseball cap, try to keep it simple. Loose braids and low ponytails work well because not only do they keep the hair off your neck but also pair well with hats. You can also wear the hair down for a more carefree look.
