If your feelings toward chapeau-ed coifs are along the lines of #hathairdontcare, then it’s time to change your ‘tude and we’re here to help! Believe it: there are more than a handful of options when it comes to hot hairstyles you can wear while you’re rocking a hat, beanie, or other kind of winter headgear. We give these 12 hair hacks “lifesaver” status considering the chills just don’t seem to be letting up anytime soon (though a girl can dream of sunnier-day styles, can’t she?). Good news is that when the weather does warm up, these ‘dos look equally as fierce on their own.
1. Grown-Up Pigtail Braids: Part, tease, braid—it really is that simple! Pull apart each plait till you reach that effortless messy perfection, toss on an embellished beanie, and you’re good to go. (via Refinery29)
2. Bohemian Twist: This seriously swoon-worthy twisted updo takes less than five minutes to do—simply twist and tuck your locks around a thin elastic headband. It would look lovely under a floppy beret. (via Merrythought)
3. Hair-Wrapped Pony: If your sporty style vibes with a ball cap, this is the hairdo to pair with it. With the hair wrap tie, it’s the perfect mix of casual and chic. (via Babble)
4. Simple Rolled Chignon: Hat or no hat, you can’t go wrong with a simple chignon. This elegant uber roll would look sleek under a fancy fedora. (via Camille Styles)
5. Faux Bangs and Layers: Get this dreamy side swept look by layering your long locks to frame your face. We have our beanie P.I.C. to thank for concealing our major bangs fake out. (via Brit + Co.)
