There are some days when you wake up and all you have the capacity to do is throw on some clothes, brush your teeth, and head out the door, skin-care routine and makeup be damned. If your hair is a mess from tossing and turning the night before, your best bet is probably to throw on a hat. If it's cold outside and you're opting for a beanie, there are quite a few beanie hairstyles you can do that are both quick and easy to achieve.

The only problem: no one likes the dreaded "beanie hair," aka the static and frizz that come with the cozy accessory. If you are planning to wear a beanie for hours on end and don't foresee yourself taking it off and on throughout the day, feel free to throw on anything you've got in the closet. Otherwise, you might want to opt for a hat with a satin-lined interior, which will keep your head nice and toasty but won't make your hair look like you just had an electric shock when you take it off.



If a satin beanie isn't in the cards, there are plenty of other DIY options you can turn to. Tips For Beanie Hairstyles For starters, using a boar-bristle brush before putting on a beanie can help cut down on static. (The Mason Pearson brush is editor-approved, although it is pretty pricey.

) For a more affordable hack, you can keep a dryer sheet in your purse and run it over your hair before and after removing your hat to cut down on frizz. If you're in a pinch, running a tiny amount of hand lotion over the crown of your head will also help lay down any stray.
