Most often, it is because we put the cap on hair that is not completely dry (and if it is, the ambient humidity takes care of re-wetting it...). As they are laid down for a certain time, they adopt the shape given by the beanie:flattened at the root, crushed or relaxed curls... In addition, they are charged with static electricity (due to friction against the wool):the lengths appear disheveled, which accentuates the flat side of the roots.
If we don't have any product on hand, we do what we can:head forward, rub the scalp with the fingertips to air the hair and create volume at the roots. If that doesn't work, we go into Mc Guyver mode:we put the head under a hand dryer and we repeat the root massage operation. The right product to have in your bag is styling powder (such as Dust It by Schwarzkopf or Powder Grip 03 by Redken), to be sprinkled at the roots to texturize and add volume. Dry shampoo can work too, slightly backcombing the roots.
Yes ! There are two options (which can be combined), to do before putting on your hat:1/ use a styling water (Eau Texturisante by Camille Albane) at the roots on wet hair, before drying the hair upside down. 2/ Spray a fixing spray (Professional Fixing Spray by Franck Provost) on dry hair. This allows you to imprint the shape given to the hair and limit the impact of the cap.
