Title: Keeping it on!
Post by: Tom McGarry. on February 10, 2007, 10:18:59 AM
Hey my peeps;
                       I live in the north country and as a result it gets very cold in the winter. I love shaveing my head, but  in the winter with a freshly scalped dome, my hat keeps slideing off of my head. So sometimes I like the stuble after the first day of growth, it acts like velcro to help keep my touque firmly in place. But I like being smooth.
Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone have any tips for "Keeping it on" while being smooth?
                                                                                                                                                          Thanks Tom.

I know exactly what you mean. I work outside a lot and even though I live in Texas, there are still days when I freeze my ass off! I have one beanie that is really tight on my head and it does a pretty good job of staying on, but the one that I really like slides off all the time. I hate having stubble, but that is the best way to keep the beanie on. I have yet to find a better method of keeping it on. If you find one before I do, let me know!

When you shave, leave a thin strip of stubble around your head, then your hat will stay on. :*))  Seriously, I have the same problem.  If its really cold, or I'm going to be out a while, a full ski mask works great and won't slide off.  Other than a different style of hat, I don't have any other solutions.

I expected those ideas from you two, I was also thinking two way tape, glue or something like that.

Oh Sh*t I needed a good laugh today.

How about a big pretty pink ribbon tied around your head with a bow on top? Then you can go outside as a present?

That would fly out here in San Francisco, probably not so much in Canada.

Hmmmm sounds like it would go over really well with the Alberta Ukrainian community.

Seriously though, I bought a beanie that was quite a bit too small.  ie when I tried it on in the store, I pulled it down as far as I could and it hurt my head...  PERFECT!
I bought it and when I got home I soaked it it warmish/hot water, wrung it out and wore it all day (indoors) until my beanis was dried to the shape of my bean. 
Problem solved.

I sometimes wear my Buff like a beanie under other hats. No matter how slick my scalp, that puppy stays on and helps keep the other hat in place. in the winter its another layer of warmth. Works like a charm  ;)
