Keep reading to find out how to prevent your straw hat from blowing away. Below, I present some techniques with easy-to-find materials.

Necessary materials

To achieve this, we will use common and easily available materials.

Let's get started!

Velcro

Velcro is a great option for keeping the hat in place. Here I explain how to use it:

1. Separate the two Velcro strips.
2. Use the strip with the hardest tips.
3. Glue three silicone Velcro strips to the inside of the hat: one around the inside edges and one on the inside base.

Hat Pin

Pins not only add style to hats, but they also help keep them in place:

1. Gently pierce the hat with the pin.
2. Pin a bunch of hair next to the hat.
3. The hat will be well held and stylish.

Elastic

Using an elastic is a simple and discreet solution:

1. Use a thin elastic, preferably the color of your hair.
2. Sew the elastic to each end of the hat, to the inside fabric edge.
3. Put on the hat, using the elastic at the back, hidden by your hair.

Invisible Headbands “Pins”

The pins are also useful for holding the hat:

1. Place two pins on the inside edge of the hat.
2. Secure them well with your hair.

Braids

Braids are a stylish and effective option:

1. Make braids that grab your hair from the sides.
2. You can do them in the middle part of the head if you want to completely collect your hair.
3. Put the hat on once you have made the braids so that it stays securely in place.
