I’ve been having a problem with sticky-uppy hair recently. Actually it’s more that I forget to comb it. I climbed into my car yesterday to drive to my local town for a coffee and to do some writing. Luckily I happened to glance in the mirror. I’d washed my hair and totally forgotten to comb it. Not one of my best days!
So to celebrate bad hair days here’s a list of Thirteen Types of Hats
1. Beanie – a close-fitting cap usually made out of a wool-type fabric.
2. Boater – a straw hat.
3. Cossack – a tall fur hat worn by Russian men.
4. Sombrero – a Mexico hat of either straw or felt with a high crown and broad brim.
5. Top Hat – a tall hat with a narrow brim and a shiny finish.
6. Turban – a length of fabric wrapped around the head.
7. Fez – a red hat with a black tassel worn by Turkish men.
8. Stetson – a cowboy hat.
9. Beret – a flat hat usually made of wool.
10. Davy Crockett – a coonskin cap with a dangling tail.
11. Deerstalker – the hat made famous by Sherlock Holmes.
12. Pillbox – a small brimless hat popular during the 1920s. Worn on top or side of head.
13. Baseball cat – closefitting hat with a large brim in the front. My favored hair flattener.
Do you wear hats? What is your favorite type of hat?
I love hats and I don’t hesitate to wear them at any appropriate time. My son’s latest hat is a Stetson :-)
I love hats! Great list, Shelley! :grin:
Great list of hats!
Happy Thursday!

No hats for me – if my hair wasn’t a mess before I put it on, it’s sure to be a disaster when I take a hat off.
I do use this stuff called Coconut Milk that makes my naturally frizzy hair lay down nice and smooth, and makes the hair silky without getting greasy. I’m not a spokesman, just a real actual user!
I can’t wear hats, I look super-weird in them. I tell people that and they say: “Oh, you’re just being silly” and then I put one on (any kind) and they go: “Oh.”
Sticky-uppy? LOL I don’t do hats. They look terrible on me. Fun list!
Happy T13!
Cool TT! Who knew there were so many styles?! LOL!
*hugs*

I remember having a lot of fun with my grandmother’s pillbox hats. so glamorous.
you should have worn a fez to the coffee shop! lol.
happy tt!
Ah … kewl list! I love hats too and own MANY wide brimmed RED ones! I’ve shared T-13s at Sacred Ruminations and Happily Retired Gal this week ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
I love it!! What a great T13 idea!!! :) What about a cowgirl/cowboy hat…I’m sure that is not the proper term. ;)
Every day is a BAD HAIR DAY for me.I am really considering wearing a turban.
Ember – I actually have flat hair after a hat. That’s a good thing, believe me!
Adelle – yep. Sticky-uppy. That’s such a great descriptive word and works for me.
Flicka – if I don’t put a hat on people (my husband) laugh at me.
Alice – the pillbox hats are gorgeous. It’s strang how fashion cycles go. It wasn’t really that long ago when a lady wasn’t dressed if she didn’t wear a hat.
Patsy – I know how you feel! I’m sitting here with sticky-uppy hair and wondering if it’s worth getting a comb and trying to do something with it. :mrgreen:
I’ve never been much of a hat person, but do have a straw one with a (sort of) wide brim for summer days. Was wishing I’d remembered it when I was out earlier today–it finally warmed up here!
Hee! I’m not much of a hat person, although a friend did give me a fedora as a gift in high school. I do think some hats are awfully cute, but my style is more along the lines of baseball caps!
I always wanted to pull a hat off–like Molly Ringwold in “Pretty In Pink” but I never could.
I’ve had bunches.
Baseball caps when I’m camping are the only ones I wear now.
Shelley, do you know Katrina at Stone Soup? She gives a book away every week, and every week, she shows the hat she drew the entries out of.
And she’s a book blogger. I suspect you guys would like each other, just based on what I know of each of you.
I only own one hat, it’s a Detroit Tiger baseball cap. I get hat hair too easy. Ugh!
Whilst touristing through Annapolis with Bria Quinlan in late June, I finally bought a hat. It is white canvas with a floppy brim and it protects me from sunburn and migraines and I love it. Not so great for my hair, however.
I like hats but don’t look good in them. My hubby has started wearing them because in the last few years he has been loosing his hair. He has a very nice black felt stetson and several baseball caps.
Happy TT.

Jennifer – I have a large collection of hats – lots of baseball caps, a couple of straw hats, some hats from Pakistan, Mexico and Africa and a cowboy type hat. Oh, and a floppy sun hat. I like hats.
Susan – no, I don’t. I’ll go and search her out and say hello.
Fedora – now a Fedora for you makes sense. I bet it looked great.
Mary – hat hair – what’s that? :lol:
Emily – I have a denim floppy hat that I tend to take with me on holidays. I’ll have to post a photo of me and my hat.
Janice – now a black Stetson sounds really sexy.
I”m so not a hat person. Ok, so I wear a cap when I run but that is it.
I just adore all the concoctions worn by Victorian women. Those were the best of all.
I’ll admit that I’m boring. I do love hats but usually won’t wear them for fear of being stuck with hat hair. My favorites are 1 and 13.
