How to Properly Wear a Slouchy Hat

I pretty much live in slouchy hats during late fall and winter. Two questions I'm always asked are: "How are you supposed to wear slouchy hats?" and "How you do keep your slouchy hat from falling off?"

I do think I happen to have a good head for slouchy hats…and I have good posture so they stay on very well.

BUT, I do have a great trick for people who have trouble keeping their slouchy hats on. Also, these pictures should help you with knowing how to put slouchy hats on properly.

(Note: I'm not saying this is the ONLY way to wear a slouchy hat! This is just how I prefer to wear this style of hat.)

1) Hook your thumb around the rim of your slouchy hat

2) Put your hat behind your head 

3) Tilt your head back and slowly pull your slouchy hat on 

4) Pull your thumbs down the rim of the hat and pull the hat over your ears. 

5) Grab two bobby pin

6) Insert a bobby pin into each side of your head. Guide the bobby pin so it goes through the hat and your top layer of hair. Make sure to avoid snagging your hat and make sure most of the bobby pin is inside the hat.

7) Tilt head back to make sure hat is secure. 

You're all done!

Yarn Braid

Why do I love yarn braids?

*They're super easy

*They use up my scrap yarn

*People think I have rainbow highlights 

*It's a unique hairstyle

Step 1) Brush hair

Step 2) Tie pieces of yarn to bottom layer of  hair

Step 3) Braid hair! 

A Simple Bun

I'm going to show you how I do a quick and simple bun for longer hair. This is a great hair style when your in a hurry. It works whether your hair is wet or dry and all you need is one hair tie. No bobby pins needed unless you'd like to use some.

1) Start off with your hair down 

2) Flip your head down

3) Gather all your hair (I leave my bangs down)

4) Lift your head up while holding your hair

5) Twist your hair (leave the very ends untwisted)

6) Wrap your hair into a bun

It should look somewhat like this!

7) Take your hair tie and wrap it around your bun

All finished!
