hats and fashion

Today I read an article about how to avoid hat head that made me realize how far I have come from the rest of the Western world, in that no one I know worries about hat head. Wanna know how an EI uses a hat?

1. To keep the sun off. We don't tolerate sunscreen, so particularly for people who don't tolerate any indoor living situation, your hat is your hairstyle.
2. If it's cold. Not as much of an issue if you live indoors, but even in Tucson it gets cold at night, so again with the hat being your hairstyle.
3. To keep gunk out of your hair. Lots of us (not the men) have very long hair because we can cut it easily ourselves, but it acts like a sponge for all kinds of perfume and other chemicals we may come in contact with. Tuck it up under a hat while you're in town and you'll be able to live with it better until you can wash it again.

So there you go: your hat is part of your head, or you're just going to wash your hair anyway, plus you can't support one of those puffy, squishable hairdos using egg whites and aloe vera gel, so why worry?
