What goes wrong with hats and straight hair
Straight hair shows everything. A tight band leaves a crease around your head, a low crown presses a blowout flat at the top, and a rough interior raises flyaways the moment the hat comes off. Sleek styles show the hat line more than any other texture.
What to look for in hats for straight hair
A smooth lining. Every Damazo hat is lined in 22-momme, OEKO-TEX® certified 100% mulberry silk where it touches your hair, designed to help reduce friction and frizz so sleek stays sleek.
A crown that holds its shape. Structured straw sits around your head rather than resting on top of your blowout. The Soteria fedoras have a 6 in (15.2 cm) crown.
A fit that isn't tight. A band that grips is what creates the crease. Measure with your hair styled; if you're between sizes, choose Large for a lighter fit.
Which style for you
- Fresh blowout, dressed up: the Soteria Classic fedora, or a Signature crown wrap style.
- Sunny days, hair down: the Soleil Classic sun hat, for a wide brim that shades your face, neck and part line.
- Sleek ponytail: the Flow ponytail sun hat or the Veloura Flow cap.
- Errands and travel: the Veloura Structured cap, fully silk-lined in one adjustable size.
- A softer shape: the Sasha bucket hat, 100% cotton outside and silk inside.
- No crown on your part: the Eclipse open-top sun hat or the Eos visor.

Fedoras, sun hats and the Sasha come in two sizes: Medium fits 56.5–58 cm (22.2–22.8 in) and Large fits 58.5–60 cm (23.0–23.6 in). The Veloura caps, Eclipse and Eos are one adjustable size. Not sure where to start? Browse our most-loved styles.
Frequently asked questions
For a fresh blowout, choose a structured shape that holds itself above your hair: the Soteria fedoras or the Veloura Structured cap. For sunny days with your hair down, the Soleil Classic has a wide brim. For a sleek ponytail, the Flow sun hat and Veloura Flow cap have a rear opening, and the Eclipse and Eos are open at the top.
Measure around your head, just above the ears, with your hair styled the way you wear it: Medium fits 56.5–58 cm (22.2–22.8 in) and Large fits 58.5–60 cm (23.0–23.6 in). Fine, straight hair adds little volume, so most people land in their measured size; if you're between sizes, choose Large for a lighter fit. The Veloura caps, Eclipse and Eos come in one adjustable size. Size exchanges are free.
Let a fresh blowout cool fully before the hat goes on, since warm hair takes a shape more easily. Choose a size that sits comfortably rather than gripping, and set the hat on from the front hairline back instead of pulling it down. To take it off, lift it straight up by the brim rather than dragging it back, then smooth the top with your palms or a brush.
Size exchanges are free, and U.S. shipping is free on every order. Non-Signature styles can be returned for a refund within 14 days if unworn ($9.95 return shipping is deducted); Signature Crown Wrap styles can be exchanged or returned for store credit. Details on our returns page.
Let it air-dry away from direct heat if it gets damp, keep straw styles out of soaking rain, and store it where the crown and brim won't be crushed so the shape and the silk lining stay smooth.
