Summer is finally upon us and while you’re daintily sipping cream tea on the lawn (or hiking through the Cornish hills with a tent on your back) spare a thought for the top of your head. An often forgotten and neglected part of the anatomy when it comes to protecting yourself from the sun, it can be very easy to call an abrupt end to your holiday because of sunstroke or sunburn.
The top of your head is very delicate and your scalp very susceptible to sunburn since suncream is quite difficult to apply over your hair. Not only that, but too much time in the sun with an uncovered head can lead to sunstroke which causes headache, dehydration and sickness. Fortunately, there is an easy way to protect your head from the sun and what’s even better, it’s fashionable too! Here is your guide to buying a sun hat this summer.
Go Australian! Australian bush hats have been a real hit this spring, with trendsetters like the new Duchess of Cornwall showing them off, and now’s the time to make the most of one! Wombat hats are made from quality leather and are durable, versatile and uber-stylish.
Choose something with a wide brim that will protect your shoulders and neck from the sun as well. It’s very easy to neglect areas that your hair normally covers when applying suncream but a wide-brimmed hat will offer even better protection.
Match your hat to your head shape. It’s often said that hats suit some people more than others, but really it’s just a matter of getting the right style to suit your face. If you’ve got a high forehead, consider a wide-brimmed hat that comes to just above your eyes. If you’ve got a long, thin face with high cheekbones, a cap can be very flattering, whereas a rounder face will suit a smaller brimmed hat.
Whatever you do this summer, enjoy the good weather without hassle by getting ahead with a hat. Find Wombat hats and many more at
