Advantages
Natural wool hats have a wide range of advantages, which are not known to every fashionista.
- The coat is non-electrifying, which means the hairstyle will look good when you take off the hat. Electrified hair is known to bulge, knock out strands and become uncontrollable. With a woolen hat, this will not happen.
- Hair becomes vulnerable in the cold season, and a wool hat provides them with reliable protection from frost, wind and snow. Moreover, wool is capable of absorbing moisture and does not interfere with air exchange.
- Wool is a hygroscopic material, which means that hair, even with prolonged wearing of a hat, remains clean and has a neat appearance.

Types of wool
The quality of the wool depends to a large extent on which animal it was taken from. For hats, the following wool options are most often taken.
- Camel's wool allows you to create warm, very light and durable products. Due to the porous fibers, the caps are practically weightless. Moreover, such wool does not wear out for a long time and does not even roll.
- Yak wool and down - one of the warmest materials, so such hats can be worn in the most severe frosts.
- Angora obtained from hairs taken from the fur coat of an angora rabbit. This wool is very soft and delicate, it perfectly warms and envelops you with comfort. Most of the hats made from angora are versatile and can be used in many looks.
- Sheep's wool is the most affordable, moreover, hats made of such material can be worn for several seasons. Such a headdress will keep you warm in any weather.

- Highly regarded alpaca wool. This material is also wear-resistant, but differs from the previous wool in its soft structure and higher ability to retain heat.
- Cashmere Is another type of wool that is actively used to create hats. Such products differ from others in their thin structure, softness and low thermal conductivity. No matter how good cashmere is, it requires special care and careful wear. But even in this case, no one can guarantee that the cashmere hat will last for several seasons. If you choose a hat made of such wool, then you should look for a Scottish version of this material. This hat will last a little longer.
- Merino wool is quite expensive, but such a hat will not prick. Such material is obtained by shearing sheep of a special breed.

Composition
Modern manufacturers have learned to combine wool with artificial materials so skillfully that it is visually difficult to find the difference between hats with different compositions. It is clear that a hat that contains 100% wool will warm you much better... If it is not possible to buy such a product, then you should give preference to the model in which the ratio of wool will be the greatest.

For winter, you should not choose a hat, which contains 50% acrylic or more... 30% polyester is also not the best option.If the hat contains only 20% wool or 70% polyester, then it will not really warm up. In short, the more wool, the better, but not less than half of the natural material should be.

What to do if the woolen hat has sat down or is stretched out?
If the cap is stretched, it should be placed in very hot water for 10 minutes without adding powder. After such soaking, it is necessary to wash the product without friction and wringing out. Now it's time for a cold soak for about 20 minutes. The principle of such manipulations is based on the ability of woolen items to shrink when exposed to hot water. Cold water will strengthen the result. The hat must not be twisted, it must dry naturally. To do this, you need to let the water drain and spread the product on a towel.

If the hat has become a few sizes smaller, then it must be placed in cold water for about 10 minutes. After that, gently and easily squeeze out the water. Now we select an object that resembles a head in shape and size, for example, a bank. We put a hat on it and leave it to dry completely.

Another way to add elasticity to wool is to soak it in water with added hydrogen peroxide. For 10 liters, 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide is enough. The hat must be soaked in this mixture for an hour.

Take a look at this snow-white openwork model that looks very gentle and romantic. For winter, such a headdress is not suitable due to its openwork structure, but for autumn, spring and off-season it will be just right. The color of the headdress is in perfect harmony with the color type of the model.

The next look is warmer and suitable for winter. The combination of milky beige with delicate beige, in which the patterns are made, looks gentle and laconic. The hat is complemented by a scarf, which is made in the same color and repeats the patterns of the headdress. Dark hair favorably sets off a light headdress, creating a harmonious look.

I can give good advice: if your hat has sat down from washing, you need to place it in warm water for 15-20 minutes, where you must first dissolve the hair conditioner, then rinse in water with vinegar - the water should be slightly sour. Squeeze out without twisting. Put on a jar and dry. The water should be at the same temperature. Good luck!
