How to wear a hat/cap but NOT a sheitel

Can I do this??

It is a trillion degrees where I live and I really want to be able to wear some kind of a... hat? Baseball cap? I don't know? But I DON'T want to wear a sheitel. (I usually wear tichels in the summer.)

What are my options that won't look weird?

Do you like caps? You can get some with full coverage, like from this site which services those that cover their entire head completely.

I wear this to the beach and it has full coverage. I’m sure you can find a hat that you like as well!

Alternatively, you can buy the “pocket bun” to cover your pony and wear any cap/hat

ETA: I realize that this is not the one I have: mine is already unavailable! Sorry

Oh those are very cute! Thing is I don't think I would look good in just a cap with nothing else framing my face (like I don't look good in snoods, only tichels with long tails).

Is there some kind of clip on ponytail situation? I saw someone talk about something like that on Instagram once... anyone know anything about that?

The coverage on that looks amazing! Can you tell me more about the pocket bun?

You can get a clip on pony in any random beauty supply store. They actually look pretty cute

Yeah! Mine was similar- I tucked my pony into the cap and couldn’t believe the coverage! And I don’t look funny without hair out because the hat frames my face

I still like a cap better though

Do you maybe have a link? I searched imamother and couldn't find the thread the other poster mentioned...

I think this is the thread she was referring to:

Sorry, I don’t have any personal recommendations on this one.

Usually the brim frames the face. Much nicer than a beanie or flat snood.

But there are pretty options that frame the face/head all around.

I wear a cotton kerchief under the cap. Never again. I just bought a bun. Thank you!

How does this work? You wear a regular cap with a covered chignon piece sticking out at the pony spot - and what happens to your lower natural hair that's pulled up and not covered by the cap? Do you need to find a cap with full coverage that also has a hole for a ponytail?

Which one did you buy? The pocket bun that was posted? Can you report back to us how it works out for you?
