Best Sun Hats To Protect Your Face From The Rays

When we think about summer outfits and style our mind immediately wanders to sundresses, shorts, sandals, and sunglasses. What about some fun sun hats to protect your face and add another dimension to your summer style? Not only do they add a little extra pizazz to our outfits, but they also add another layer of protection from the sun.

Yes, we know that we should wear our sunscreen 365 days a year regardless of rain or shine. The sun hat helps us add another layer of protection to the face, neck, and decollete. Another good reason to embrace a cute sun hat is to help hide humidity hair. If you are like me, your fine hair won’t hold a curl no matter how much product is on it. Others have the opposite and they turn into one big curl. Either way, hat hair may just be the way to go.
