Hat Head

[scottyrocks]

I don't get 'hat head' because I'm proud to be a complete baldy, a slaphead, a cue-ball, an 8-ball, a skinhead, a turtle waxer; I wear a meat-coloured wig and I'm proud of it...

however...

we baldys do suffer from something similar - we can get a red line around our heads which looks a little frankensteinesque, as if we've had the tops of our heads sewn back on...

what to call it?

a bowler border?
Hatpoint Charlie?
a fedora fault?
a hommie haematoma?
a stetson stripe?
a whippet whip-lash?
A fedora frankenstein?
a mayser mark?

I get the stripe, too, but only with certain hats.

I used to hate helmethead when i rode motorcycles... take off the helmet and you’ve got a mashed and messy sweaty head of hair. I don’t ride anymore but i wear hats and find a similar problem (though not as bad).

So apart from shaving it off or using a greasy tin of dapper dan, what do you do about hathead?

Shave. Thats my answer and I am sticking to it.

My experience says if you keep your locks clean and start out with a dry do, (unless you ran a marathon or load trucks all day) a swipe or two of the hand through each side to brush it back gets it back to an acceptable condition. Maybe not like you just left the barber, but certainly a satisfactory, if not casual coiffure.

Or, quoting @johnnycanuck, you can wear your hathead proudly!!

If I'm going to a club/restaurant or event where I can leave my hat on, I do and no hat head problems. If I cant, I go directly to the men's room, wearing my hat, take it off and fix my hair as best I can and that's it or if you dont want to visit the mens room, as Charlie says just a "swipe or two..." and that usually does the trick. Works for me.

Yes, I joke with my wife that I am working on the worst solution ever for hat head.........hair loss approaching baldness. Soon I will not have the problem.......AND I now long for the days when I had such a problem.

At least you didn't shave the dog!

I keep mine pretty short, so it's not usually a problem, but Charlie's solution is also mine. Sometimes I might wet my hand in the faucet first if I've been sweating and it gets a little worse.

I’m with Charlie. Then again, I always look like I stuck my fingers in an outlet anyways.
My granddad always said I was a Goldilocks. Albeit a very messy one [emoji1]

As stated before. Just never but a hat on with even the slightest damp hair. That way you get that clear hat line. Run your hands through it and done.

Oh, NO! You don't mean @EstherWeis, do you?!!

Hey! I recently chopped off half of it.

That's what I started to do. When my hair gets long, it gets wavy and curly and requires gel to tame it (or a blow dryer, which I hate with a passion). I don't want gel getting on the liners of my nice hats, so I just keep may hair short now; even bought a $50 pair of electric clippers to make it easier here at the house.

Now, as stated above by @hatsRme , @EstherWeis and @Bob Roberts , I just run my hand through my hair and it's all good.

my hair grows up it doesn't grow long and down so I know exactly what you are saying

and no one but myself has cut my hair in over 30 years

You can try to fix hat hair spraying dry shampoo on the roots or a little texturizing spray.

If you have short hair you can apply some gel and run it through the hair, texturizing spray might work too.

I don't know if this will work 100% on your hair but you can give it a try.

My hair once grew straight, then it was shaved bald for three years and when I grew it back it all grew in different directions, so I have it pretty much shaved, blade 1 on top high fade into a zero every few weeks.

Not necessarily if yer hat is a little roomy...

 

[Mustang Mike's Hats]

Switch up to the high fade and you're good to go!! Been wearing one since I left the Corps. Oaa Rah! (no, not me in the pic... I'm waaaaay better lookin' then that wanna-be Jar Head!)
