In their relentless search for ways to adorn the fashion die-hard, designers have made the hat a necessary accessory this summer. In every possible permutation, it's less about sun protection and every bit about eye candy. And with the Melbourne Cup looming large, myhairdressersearch thought it was time to review how to do hair with hats.
Rule 1 - You can't go wrong with a 'clean' head, i.e. pulling the hair back from the face and lacquering it to give a great shine. You can still add volume behind the ears, either straight or full with frizz, coils or curls.
Rule 2 - Excess is NOT a dirty word. Remember you can add soft head wraps and head bands under hats, as well as trimming the hair with clips.
Rule 3 - The idiot proof option that will work no matter what the occasion - a plait, pony tail or bun. For a seasonal update, try the 'flip' or looped under pony tail, some vibrant colour added to the hair or a funked up textured and sculptured bun.
