Do you wear hats? Here, I wear hats in the winter and in the summer, when it's too cold and when it's too hot. In winter, I even sleep with a hat. We call them tuques. The reason is that I like it to be cool when I sleep and a hat on my head keeps me toasty warm in bed. What about you, do you wear hats?

Do not Californians protect themselves from the damages of the sun by wearing hats?

I wear hats. Mainly baseball caps. Sometimes other kinds of hats. But I don't really like stocking hats. I do wear them though when it gets real cold. I never used to wear a hat when I was younger.

@1hopefulman I find it more of a habit now to wear a hat before I go out. And that is winter and summer. I guess we do change as we get older.

@inertia4 Yes, we do! When I was young, I never wore a hat, no matter how cold it was. I didn't want my hair messed up. Now, I don't care about my hair. In fact, I now keep it quite short. It is easier to manage.

Is there any event that you can mention where you do wear a hat or does it depend on how you feel?

My hubby wears a cap every time he goes outside . I told him to lessen wearing it because it makes the head warm , his hair might fall .

What can do is massage his scalp so that the blood circulates in the head and feeds the hair follicles. And if he should go bald, think of all the money he will save on haircuts.

@SIMPLYD I used to sell hair products for a few years and in discussions with hairdressers I was told that massaging the scalp fed the hair follicles and kept the healthy and strong.

Yes, umbrellas are used in some countries as protection against the sun. Here, it is rarely seen.

I love hats and wore them everyday for years. The only problem I used them to not have to bother with my hair. Now after so many years my hair is falling out. Now I want to wear a hat to cover it up. But, I have to let my hair breathe. But, I love all kinds of hats, so long as it's a hat.

I almost don't wear hats because I don't want my hair will have a hat shape after that But when I travled to a north place which is covered with heavy snow, wearing a hat is a must. As it is really so cold.

Well, with such beautuful hair why hide it under a hat? What do you do when it's really cold? I just remembered. You go to where it's warm.

Maybe you just have to find the right hat? Just kidding! As long as you are not freezing or burning, you can go without a hat, nom problem.
