Wavers love hats: fitteds, snapbacks, beanies, all of them. The real question is whether wearing a wave cap under your hat helps or hurts your 360 waves.
Here is the real breakdown.
Why wearing a wave cap under a hat helps
• Reduces friction
• Keeps hair laid
• Protects your angles
• Prevents sweat from lifting curls
• Adds light compression
• Keeps your pattern from shifting
This is why many wavers wear caps under hats daily.
What to watch out for
• Tight hats can cause dents
• Low quality hats can snag hair
• Over compression can cause headaches
• Sweat buildup can lift your curl pattern
Wearing a cap under a hat is good, but it has to be done correctly.
When you should wear a wave cap under a hat
• After brushing
• During wolfing
• In hot weather
• When wearing rough interior hats
• When your pattern lifts easily
When you should not wear one
• If the hat is extremely tight
• If the band is digging into your skin
• If you are sweating heavily
Tie your durag first, then add the wave cap, then wear the hat for the cleanest results.
