Everyday Headwear

The old baseball caps and thin headbands tucked in the back of the closet were not suitable for wearing my thinning hairstyle. The time came for a hair supply shopping trip. Stylish hats and thick headbands were needed to cover the bald spots. Accessory stores at the mall were a great place to find different headband styles, but hats can be a little harder to find.

Buying hats are like buying bathing suits for women. Unless tried on it is hard to find the perfect fit. The problem is that retail stores do not carry a variety of hats. Although a variety of styles can be found online, it is a guessing game on how the hat will look.

When searching alopecia hats or coverings online, several sites appear that carry wraps and turbans. Some may like this style, but it does not fit my personality. The best online store I have found is Lids. Their online store has a lot more than just the team caps found at the mall. Check the Lids Label for lower priced styles and the clearance section always has new deep discounts.

For shopping in town, ask friends and family to keep an eye out during their shopping trips. The chain stores do not specialize in headwear, and finding particular styles or colors can be hard.
