[unpaid/affiliate] It’s interesting that silk lined beanies are mostly marketed towards textured or curly hair and that they’re not nearly as mainstream as they should be. My daughter bought me one a couple of years ago and I wouldn’t be without it for my mainly straightened locks. Hat hair is nobody’s friend and yet, it’s a thing of the past with a silk lined beanie.
My hair is naturally curly but I tend to keep it straightened out or let a vague wave creep in. It’s also highly prone to frizz so the moment there is even a hint of moisture in the air, up and out it goes. My hair’s favourite season is winter – those rare, cold, cold days when there is no moisture in the air – it looks amazing – but of course, the rest of me looks frozen and knackered. C’est la vie.

I’m recommending silk lined beanies (if you haven’t blown your budget on M&S x Bella Freud HERE) because they will save your hair on damp, autumnal or wintery occasions. Hair and silk are a match made in heaven because of the way that silk lies it doesn’t rub against your hair shafts. It sort of moves with your hair so you don’t remove your beanie and immediately look like you’ve just got out of bed. I have a silk pillow case (or five) for the same reason. As a natural and breathable fibre, silk can help reduce static by creating a non-friction environment.
Although these aren’t exactly the same as my (black) hat they look like a pretty good option – plenty of colours and although it cheekily states ‘cashmere’, it’s actually a cashmere/wool mix. They’re £32 each HERE.
