Hellooo my hair lovers, today I want to talk about how I learned to rock hair beanies, where they come from, how to protect your hair through winter and also how not to damage your hair while wearing a beanie and more.

Let me tell you that I wore a beanie for the first time when I was like 19 years old lol I know crazy right? The country where I grew up has a year-round tropical climate, so why would I need one? lol.

My mom is not into cold weather, she used to take me to the beach when I was little but I don’t remember I ever visited a really cold place like for me to need a hair beanie, maybe just a simple sweater

Ok too much talking  now Let’s start where it began:

Origins and roots
BEANIE The cloth-covered button on the crown is about the size of a bean seed and may be the origin of the term “beanie”. This term for the knitted hat is fairly new and known the most in the fashion industry. Truthfully it has many names like “watch cap” or “toboggan” depending on the country or area.

There are traces of early beanies in European Nordic folklore like elves or “nisses” mythological creature typically associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season that wear an iconic long puffy end, most likely because of heavy winter months in those countries.

As well as being typically popular among fishermen and lumberjacks for decades because of their exposure to harsh weathers due to labor. Before the 90’s some beanies used to have visors incorporated in them.

Modern days, winter and fashion

Did you know: A beanie is a newborn first hair accessory

During the mid-’90s and 00, it began taking some notice from urban culture. Such as grunge bands and extreme sports like skateboarding and snowboarding. Propelling it as an accessory and gaining significant popularity.

It didn’t take long for the fashion industry to give it more attention and innovate with it’s design like adding double puffy ends, long straps, fur coatings, patterns, and colors. Although even without any alterations we can agree it looks great, proving its timeless design.

TIPS
Remember that your hair will be flattened after wearing a beanie,

STRAIGHT HAIR: You can comb it to get your style and volume back.

CURLY HAIR: Use your fingers to slightly ruffle your hair and go back to your natural shape.

DON’TS
• Don’t put a beanie over damp or wet hair.
• Don’t use tight beanies ( loose fitting beanies are best for the hair)

Pulling off the beanie can be quite difficult depending on what style you want to show off, whether it’s a casual, hip or even elegant look. I am confident that this tutorial that I composed especially for you, will definitely help you decide.
