Hello! I've been absent from these forums for a few years now but I'm back! With a question!
It is winter in my part of the world and I work an outdoor job. I wear my hair in a braid because I have to put a helmet on occassionally. I have a knitted wool hat that my best friend made me that I adore, but I've noticed that at the end of the day, the wool seems to have tried to felt the hair at the nape of my neck. I have very fine, tangly hair anyway, but I feel like I'm doing so much damage every time I take my braid out trying to tear out the mats!
Is there a better solution for keeping my head warm but my hair safe? I thought about trying to sew a satin lining into the hat, but I feel like that would take away the inherent stretchiness that makes it so comfortable. I have several "bun hats" that I crocheted when I had jobs that I wore my hair up for, but that doesn't really work in my current role. Help?
