Having a ball, but I'd like to leave the cap behind

I’ve been out of town for three days, and most of that time was spent in a convertible.

That means hat hair. Or in my case, cap hair.

 

If I don’t wear a ball cap, my hair blows all over the place and I can barely run my fingers through it, much less a brush. When I wear a cap, which is almost always, my bangs get plastered against my forehead and the rest of my hair does this wild flip. It isn’t pretty, especially when I take my cap off, which I try not to do unless I have to, but at least my hair is not a tangled mess.

 

I’ve tried wearing a straw cowboy hat, a visor, a scarf (folded lengthwise and wrapped around my head and tied in the back) and a doo rag. If you’re looking at my picture and trying to imagine me in a doo rag, let me tell you right now that I didn’t leave the house in it. I looked so ridiculous that I started laughing out loud.  Now you knowhow desperate I am.

 

I see women in convertibles all the time and their hair seems to hold up better than mine. If my hair was longer, I could slick it back in a ponytail. If it was super short, I wouldn’t need a ball cap. But it’s the length I like, and I love the convertible.

 

Summer’s just starting and that means many more weekends on the road. Anyone got a suggestion?
