" Hats are, in and of themselves, a question of personal style \u2014 and around this time of year, a rather functional one. But once removed (which, at some point, they always should be), they have a tendency to leave something resembling a follicular battlefield atop your head. Among the casualties? Well, as it turns out, your personal style. Yes, we&amp;#039;re talking about hat head. And since you&amp;#039;ll look kinda stubborn freezing out there without something up top to keep you warm, we&amp;#039;ve got some tips on how to deal. You may be in a rush, but putting a hat on damp hair will result in something far worse than dealing with the chill \u2014 helmet head. Your hat should fit correctly. As with your pants, you need just a bit of extra room for comfort. Ideally, you should be able to fit a finger in between the hat&amp;#039;s band and your scalp. Consider light materials like cotton or fleece \u2014 especially for the interior of the hat. Wool, though classic, can cause static electricity. To help fight it, rub the inside of your hat with a (scent-free) dryer sheet. Also, on your hair: a light finishing dash of frizz controlling spray (like John Frieda&amp;#039;s). Another way to avoid fly-aways is to keep your hair hydrated. Use a like-formulated shampoo, or a styling pomade with moisturizing agents (Billy Jealousy makes a good one). The pomade will also work with you when you&amp;#039;re readjusting your hair. Unless you&amp;#039;re into the Einstein look, don&amp;#039;t try to fix it with a brush. Just run your fingers through a few times and wait for it to chill out. Though they don&amp;#039;t really cover your ears, your best bet for not ruffling your hair is going with a driving cap (like the one from Mr. Kim, pictured above).
