The best caps for women are soft
cotton baseball caps, adjustable dad caps, bucket hats and winter beanies in
colours that match your outfit. Choose an adjustable cap with a strap or
stretch so it fits around long hair or a hijab, and pick a lighter fabric for
Bangladesh's hot weather.

How to choose a cap for long hair
•
Pick adjustable.
A strap gives room for hair volume.
•
Try a ponytail
cap. The open back is comfortable for ponytails and buns.
•
Choose a soft
crown. A low, soft cap does not press on hair.
•
Go one size up
if fitted. Thick hair can make a fitted cap feel tight. Use the cap size
guide.
•
Use a silky
lining. A soft inside lining reduces frizz and hair breakage.
Wearing a cap with a hijab or scarf
Many women wear caps over a hijab or scarf. A few tips for
comfort:
1.
Choose a stretchy, adjustable cap, because a tight fit
can press on the scarf and the head.
2.
Pick a soft fabric such as cotton so it does not slip.
3.
Use a smooth scarf material that grips lightly.
4.
Try the cap on with your scarf before you buy if you
can, or measure with the scarf on.
5.
Select a visor or bucket hat for extra sun protection.
For winter, soft knit caps work well over a scarf; see
winter cap shop.
