Winter in the UK can get very, very cold, particularly for the transplants that come from warmer climes. This cold weather requires warm clothing, like beanies, which while adorable, can ruin a perfectly amazing hairdo once you take it off. We’ve put together 5 looks that will maintain their shape (and cuteness!) once you head inside and take off your hat.
French braids
This hairdo is a staple, no matter what time of year. In summer, it’s perfect for keeping your hair off your neck so you can stay cool. In winter, it’s the perfect look to put underneath a beanie! It works with any hair texture and is easy to learn how to do.
If you have curly hair, we suggest you lean into it, particularly if you plan to wear the braids under a beanie, since the curls will help mask any messiness or hat hair. If you’d like your braids to be straight, simply straighten your hair with the envie cordless rechargeable hair straightener, or your straightener of choice.
Twisted curly pigtails
Curly pigtails are so cute! They look amazing underneath a beanie and with the added twists to the top half of your head, it’s perfect for taking your beanie off and on throughout the day. If they start to come undone, you can lean into the mess since it will help to hide any hat hair that may have developed. You do need to start by curling your hair if you have straight hair, we recommend our cordless automatic hair curler. It takes out the guesswork (and the actual work!) for those who hate curling their hair.

Loose flowing curls
Loose flowing curls are an iconic hairstyle that looks to be standing the test of time. While different kinds of curls have been popular for all time, with the Ancient Greeks thinking that ringlets were the height of beauty, loose flowing curls have been a mainstay since the 1940s when Film Noir actress Veronica Lake popularised the style.
Loose curls are a great way to beat the hat hair since any awry strands will look like they fit right in. Luckily for us, creating them is as easy as pushing a button with the envie automatic hair curler. It locks in the natural moisture and has a timer setting designed specifically to give you a beautiful, shiny, loose curl to your hair.
Sleek hair
A great way to highlight your gorgeous hair is to simply leave it straight! Your locks tumbling out of your beanie is all you need. Plus, you can calm any flyaways when you take your beanie off by bringing a small brush with you or simply running your palms over your head. We’re big fans of the envie steam hair straightener to do this. Not only does it straighten your hair beautifully, it also helps to lock in moisture, making sure that your hair will remain glossy and have no frizz throughout the day.
