Hats too big for your bald head?

So I have been hat shopping for the cold weather that is flirting with us now. Last winter I ran into a lot of problems with knitted skull caps or beanies irritating my scalp-- I have allergies to some wools and other animal hair bends that are often found in sweaters and beanies. Since I’m determined to rock my hats, allergy or not I had to get creative and put a stocking cap on under the beanie—problem obverted! I have been shopping in Charming Charlie’s and some other sopts searching for other styles of hats, like fedoras, berets, derbys, and even the old style flapper hats. I am so disappointed that most of them are TOO BIG for my slim and sleek head, LOL! What’s a girl to do!!!! Does anyone else have this problem, and what is the work around please? Cold heads wanta know!?

I have the opposite problem!! My head is TOO BIG! A lot of the beanies are too small for my head. I don't like the way they look when they are tight so I try to find the oversized beanie, don't know what they are called. You might try to look in a children's section. I'm sorry you are having that issue. I'm going to have to start using the stocking cap idea so thank you! I wore a beanie all day yesterday, and by the end of the day my head was itching so bad. You might do a search online for petite hats or maybe start looking in stores that have petite sections.

Thanks sharing-- I'm gonna keep looking. Will share what I find. I did go into a fancy hat store last weekend that offered some hats with better fits, I just am not in the position to paid that kind of money for hats-- the cheapest one was (on sale even) was $49-- yikes!!! And the went up to $300 for the nicer styles.

It's like you're reading my mind. I live in Connecticut and although I wear wigs when I go out, I usually wear a beanie around the house. I have found that my head is super sensitive and anything that's not 100% cotton or even a tag will drive me mad. Women's beanies seem to be a little too snug and men's beanies are too big. I have tried ordering a few different hats online lately but I'm not in love with any one of them. I end up wearing a Buff but I wish I could find something with a bit more style. Let me know if you come across any gems.

Wear cotton "beanies" on your head, and then put on the hat. The cotton won't irritate, and it will hold the hat tighter.
