How to wear a cowboy hat with long hair (Step by step)

When it comes to wearing a cowboy hat, those with long hair must put in a little extra effort to ensure their look is on point. Here are a few tips on how to wear a cowboy hat with long hair:

1. Start by brushing your hair back away from your face:

If you have long hair and want to wear a cowboy hat, there are a few things you need to do to make sure your hair looks good. First, brush your hair back away from your face, and this will help keep it from getting tangled in the hat.

If you have long, flowing hair, you can let it hang down your back or over one shoulder. After that, you can put on your cowboy hat.

2. Put your hair in a ponytail or braid:

If you have long hair and don’t want to let it hang down your back, just put your hair in a ponytail or braid. This will keep your hair out of your face and help the cowboy hat stay on.

A ponytail is the easiest option, and it works with any cowboy hat. Gather your hair at the back of your head and secure it with an elastic. If you want, add a ribbon or scarf around the base of the ponytail for extra style.

Braids are a bit more complicated, but they also look great with cowboy hats! There are many different braids to choose from, so experiment until you find one you like. French braids and fishtail braids are trendy choices.

3. Create a bun:

A bun is another easy way to keep long hair out of your face and to wear a cowboy hat with long hair. Gather your hair, twist it into a messy bun, and then secure it with bobby pins. This style works well with a wide-brimmed cowboy hat or a fedora.

A bun is an easy way to keep long hair out of your face, and it also looks great with a cowboy hat! Here’s how to do it:

  • Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is oily, you can use a dry shampoo to help absorb some of the oil.
  • Put your hair into a high ponytail, and secure it with an elastic band.
  • Twist your hair into a tight coil, and wrap it around to form a bun.
  • Secure the bun with another elastic band, and use bobby pins if needed to keep it in place.
  • Put on your cowboy hat, and you’re good to go!

The right way to put on a cowboy hat

Remember a few things when donning a cowboy hat, especially if you have long hair. First, avoid putting the cowboy hat backward; if you don’t know which one is the front side of a cowboy hat, I have already written an article.

It might seem like a good idea to keep your hair out of your face this way, but it will only end up giving you trouble.

Second, when putting the hat on, tilt it slightly so it sits on your head rather than perching precariously on the back. This will help it stay in place and prevent it from blowing off in windy weather.

Finally, be sure to adjust the brim so that it shades your eyes properly. Nothing is worse than squinting into the sun because your hat isn’t positioned correctly.

How to find the perfect cowboy hat for yourself

When it comes to cowboy hats, one style does not fit all. Knowing your head shape is the key to finding the perfect cowboy hat. If you have a round face, look for a hat with a higher crown. For an oval face, look for a hat with a lower crown. And if you have a heart-shaped face, look for a hat with a wide brim.

Once you know your head shape, it’s time to choose the right cowboy hat style. If you’re going for a traditional look, wear a brown or black felt hat. If you want something more modern, try a straw or leather hat. And if you’re looking for something unique, go for an embellished or patterned hat.

No matter what style of cowboy hat you choose, make sure it fits comfortably on your head.

Tips for keeping your hair looking good under a cowboy hat

If you’re planning on donning a cowboy hat, you can do a few things to make sure your hair looks good underneath. First, if you have long hair, it’s best to put it in a bun or ponytail, which will help keep your hair from getting too sweaty or greasy.

Try spraying your hair with dry shampoo before putting on your cowboy hat. This will help absorb excess oil and give your hair extra volume.

If you have shorter hair, you can get away with just wearing it down. But if you’re worried about your hair looking flat or greasy, try using a volumizing mousse before putting on your hat. And if you have bangs, pin them back, so they don’t get in the way.

Conclusion

Cowboy hats are a great way to add a little style to your look. They can be worn with just about anything, but if you have long hair, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, ensure that your hair is pulled away from your face.

This will help keep the hat from slipping down and getting in your way. You can use a headband or other type of hair tie to keep your hair back. Next, avoid wearing the hat too low on your head, which can cause it to rub against your hair and create static.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles of cowboy hats. There are many different looks you can achieve by simply changing the way you wear your hat.
