I don’t wash my hair too often. I like to say that it’s because I believe it’s better to retain your hair’s natural oils, but really it’s because I’m lazy. And in the winter, forget it. It’s just too cold to deal. So, when your hair isn’t always up to par for public view, there are two options: hair powder, or a hat. The former is something I try every so often, but I haven’t really gotten the swing of it so most of the time I end up looking like an extra in Marie Antoinette. The latter is much more manageable. Plus, when it’s chilly out and your head looks like you slept inside a Popeye’s bucket (their chicken is delicious), there’s no better place to hide than inside a warm, floppy knit hat. I practically live in those things: In fact, it’s safe to say my apartment is almost the same size as your average skull.
