WHY IS IT WORTH WEARING A HAT?

-

Although the beautiful golden autumn is in full swing, the evenings and mornings are getting cold more and more often and remind us that the winter weather is inevitably approaching. This means it's time to change your wardrobe or add to it. An important element of the autumn-winter wardrobe, especially in our climate, is a hat. Wearing it may be quite a challenge for some people, so we will try to present the most important benefits of using it here.

Why do many people dislike wearing a hat?

There are several reasons why we may not like wearing a hat. For some, the reluctance to wear it often comes from the belief that it doesn't look good on us. Others, on the other hand, refrain from wearing it because they are afraid of spoiling their hairstyle or they do not like the effect of electrifying their hair after removing it. But are these really such important reasons to give up hats completely? Aren't the benefits of using them greater? Or maybe there is a way to get rid of these unwanted "ailments"? So let's look at why it's worth making friends with the hat.

The hat protects us against heat loss

The head does not have a layer of fatty tissue under the skin that would insulate us from the outside temperature and thus protect us from the cold. For this reason, each exposure to low temperatures may lead to the loss of up to several percent of heat. As a result, our body may cool down, which in turn carries the risk of weakening it. A weakened body is susceptible to colds, inflammation and other infections, so it is worth ensuring proper insulation at low temperatures, and wearing a hat gives us this.

The cap protects the hair against moisture loss and sebum secretion disorders

Not wearing a hat not only exposes us to excessive heat loss, but also negatively affects the condition of our hair. Cold and windy days are definitely not good for them, so if we do not want to expose our hair to matting and dryness, it is worth protecting it with a hat. Moreover, wearing a hat outside makes the temperature difference to which we expose our hair smaller when we enter a warm room. Large temperature fluctuations cause sebum secretion disorders, which in turn causes our hair to lose its freshness faster. Therefore, it is worth limiting the thermal shock to our hair by protecting it with a hat.

"Bad hair day"? Not with a hat!

Each of us has probably experienced a situation where even a short trip outside for a walk with the dog, shopping or a quick meeting left us embarrassed due to a bad hairstyle and lack of time to fix it. There is no better solution than a hat, which can easily cope with the biggest mess on your head ;) And what if the hat causes static electricity in your hair, leading to the formation of such a mess on your head? The answer is simple: giving up artificial fiber hats in favor of natural ones. The fiber from which the hat is made is of great importance on many levels.

A hat should not make you feel uncomfortable, on the contrary - it should increase our comfort when outdoors, not only on frosty, but even on slightly colder days. This, in turn, has a major impact on our well-being. So why do some people experience an unpleasant feeling of itching or sweating on the head when wearing hats? The material from which the hat is made is primarily responsible for this. The skin on the head is very delicate and sensitive to contact with external raw materials, so if we belong to the group of people who experience such unpleasant sensations, we should choose hats made of thin and natural fibers that are not only soft, but also retain appropriate heat and release moisture. outside. Remember that some natural fibers, such as merino sheep wool, have a high lanolin content, which also has allergic and irritating properties. For people with these types of problems, a better solution will definitely be a hat made of alpaca yarn, which, unlike other wool fibers, does not contain lanolin. Lanolin, i.e. the so-called Animal wax also makes our hair greasy faster, so if we want our hair to stay fresh longer, an alpaca hat will again be a great choice.

The Alpakino assortment includes a full range of colors for hats made of 100% alpaca yarn, both in natural and dyed shades. In addition, we make hats with various weaves, as well as different thicknesses and lengths, so everyone should find something for themselves.

For the most picky people who, despite so many positive aspects, still cannot be convinced to wear a hat, and who also care about good health and well-being, we offer an alternative in the form of headbands.
