Let’s see some top sun hat styles for different hair types and styles.

For Curly Hair
If you have curly hair, seek a sun hat that will coexist peacefully with your natural volume without creating frizz or flattening the curls.
Wide-Brimmed Hats
Curly hair is often heavy, and wide brims are made to fit those big bouncy curls while also offering shade. Opt for natural, breathable materials such as straw and lightweight cotton. Wide brims will keep you cool and help your curls bounce and hold while keeping your curls loose.
Bucket Hats
Bucket hats are back. And it’s all good because curly-haired ladies will rejoice to know that this style sun hat has a relaxed fit and a 360-degree brim that won’t squish curls, especially if you choose a slightly bigger size than usual for your head.
For Straight Hair
As for fine, straight hair, look for a sun hat with a timelessly beautiful design that complements your sleek strands.
Fedora Hats
Straight hair is so easy to rock with a cool fedora because it is a classic, classy look. It can be paired with swimwear for the beach or dressed up with streetwear or a sundress to bring it together with class. A fedora is a must-have for both men and women with straight hair.
Visors
Visors are ideal for outdoor adventurers and active beachgoers with sporty straight hair type. They give you great sun protection while showing off the top of your head, allowing your naturally flowing straight locks to flow unencumbered. Opt for moisture-wicking material in visors to keep cool during hot summer days.
For Wavy Hair
A sun hat can be your best option if you have wavy hair, as your natural texture will shine through, and you get sun protection at the same time.
Floppy Hats
A floppy hat is great for people with wavy hair because the soft, unstructured design works well with natural waves. You can look relaxed and glamorous. Floppy womens sun hat are good for the beach or having a picnic.
Cowboy Hats
Feeling rowdy? Go cowboy with a brimmed hat for a fun, rugged edge. Great for outdoor activities, cowboy-style hats have wide brims and high crowns to shade your face and neck. Wavy hair transcends its typical look with cowboy hats, taking them from basic to frenetic.
For Short Hair
If you have short hair, wearing the right sun hat can make you look chic and put together.
Cloche Hats
Short hair goes particularly well with cloche hats. It is a headwear that hugs the head, creating a streamlined, elegant look that is suitable for fashion-conscious women, especially those attending a garden party or an al-fresco brunch.
Baseball Caps
Baseball cap. Can’t beat it for a sporty casual look. Goes well with short hair, has good sun protection but it’s still easy to throw it on over one’s head and go – jogging, running errands or lounging by a pool.
