Ponytail Hats

A ponytail hat should have a real opening, not a slit you have to force your hair through. Every hat here leaves room for a high ponytail, a bun, braids or locs, and each one is lined in 100% 22-momme OEKO-TEX® certified mulberry silk where it touches your hair, designed to help reduce friction and frizz.

Open-top sun hat for high buns and updos

Ponytail hat FAQ

Will a high ponytail fit through the opening?

Yes. The Veloura Flow and the Flow sun hat both have a rear opening sized for high ponytails, buns and braids. If your style sits right on top of your head, the open-top Eclipse is the better choice.

Cap or sun hat?

Choose the Veloura Flow cap for workouts, errands and cooler months. Choose the Flow or Eclipse sun hat when you want a wide brim for long days outside.
