A half shaved hairstyle means you need an edgy hair accessory to go with. We recommend a black cowboy hat. It can be worn tilted at an angle to let those shaved details peek out.

For women with a curly perm, protect those perfect locks by topping your style off with a sun hat. Their adjustable band won’t be too tight around the head so your curls won’t lose their shape.

Ash blonde straight hair would be pretty plain without a hat to go with. Consider a cloche hat to give your hairstyle some personality. The snug, fitted style is often accented with a cute bow, so it guarantees a winning look.

Older women tend to go short with their hairstyle, but don’t lose your beautiful texture. Go for soft, wavy layers whose shape will complement a cute beret or newspaper boy hat.
