"__Q: How can I keep a hat from wrecking my hair? \u2014Becky, via email__\\n\\n\\n\\nGARREN'S ANSWER: The most important thing is to make sure hair is totally dry first\u2014if it's even slightly damp, it will dry flattened out under the hat. Prevent dents in long hair by coiling it into a loop and tucking it under the cap. To maintain volume in your long or medium-length hair, part it on the opposite of your usual side, then flip it back after you take the hat off. And for short hair, as soon as you take off your hat, put a little styling cream or water on your fingers, and run them over and under the roots to rough them up.\\n\\n\\n\\n*Garren is the owner of the Garren New York salon at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel in New York City.*\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n#### See Also\\n\\n- [3 Stylish Ways To Avoid Hat-Hair](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2010/07/how-to-style-your-hair-under-a.html)\\n\\n\\n- [Chris McMillan: Four Ways to Avoid Hat Hair](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/how-to/2008/chris_mcmillan_hat_hair)\\n\\n\\n- [The 10 Simplest, Sexiest Hair Ideas Ever](http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2011/10-simplest-sexiest-hair-ideas-ever\\\\#slide=1)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
