If you've been watching Shear Genius 3 you are aware that many of the female contestants have been wearing a series of fun, fashion forward hats.  Janine Jarman is famous for her cute little fedora along with a beret and other adorable hats.

April and Faatemah has also worn their versions of fedoras.  Faatemah actually paired her hat with a base scarf.  Of course Brig has also showcased a wide assortment of big hair accessories, bows and hats.

Hats Are The Hot New Accessory

Hats are the must have accessory.  Now that the Shear Genius 3 Girls have all rocked some amazing hats, expect them to become more popular than ever.

It's not always so easy to look good in a hat.  Never fear Celebrity hairstylist, Philip Pelusi reveals secrets about how to make your hair look great under the most common hat styles of the season.

Hat Style: Fedora

Hair Style: Contrast the angles of the hat with loose feminine waves.

Why This Works: Loose feminine waves are a great way to wear your hair under a Fedora. This type of hat has very sharp "menswear" angles. This is off-set by the softer hairstyle.

How To Achieve This Look: This type of hair style works best on medium to longer length hair. If hair has a natural wave, simply apply a curl enhancing products like P2® by Philip Pelusi® ReCurl to boost waves and BeachComber to add texture and let hair dry or dry with a diffuser attachment on your blow dyer. If hair is straight, use a big barrel curling iron to add curls, some facing towards and some facing away from the face.

Hat Style: Newsboy cap

Hair Style: Create ballerina-esque bun at the nape of the neck.

Why This Works: Wearing a ballerina-esque bun at the nape is perfect combination with this tomboyish type Newsboy cap look. Also the Newsboy cap is supposed to be worn low on the forehead and this tends to cover most of the entire forehead. Wearing a ballerina bun pulls the hair back off the face opening to face up.

How To Achieve This Look: Part hair in the center and smooth hair back into a low ponytail at the middle of the nape. Use a hair smoothing bore bristle brush and a hair smoothing product like Tela® Beauty Organics Composure. Apply product to the ponytail also and brush smooth. Twist ponytail in one direction and wind around ponytail and secure with a few hair pins. Put on Newsboy and you are ready to go.

Hat Style: Beret

Hair Style: Tuck the hair back into a side pony so that soft strands peek out.

Why This Works: A side swept ponytail is a perfect way to wear your hair under a Beret. A Beret has a French romantic look and this feminine ponytail really compliments that. Tuck the hair back into a side pony so that soft strands peek out.

How To Achieve This Look: This look works best with straight or smooth hair. Create a side part and use a bore bristle paddle brush and a hair smoothing product like Tela® Beauty Organics Encore and brush into a low side ponytail at the nape on the opposite side of the part. Secure ponytail and put on Beret. The back of the Beret should slouch to the opposite side of the ponytail.

Hat Style: Shearling hat or similar (as recently seen on actress Michelle Tractenberg on TV's "Mercy")

Hair Style: Pull the hair half-way back, then unclip when the hat comes off to get the hair's bounce back.

Why This Works: Shearling hats are beautiful and warm but they often crush the hair. A hair half-way up look is a great idea to make the hair look great while the hat is on and preserve the hair for when the hat comes off.

How To Achieve This Look: Style hair as usual and then apply a product that can act as a dry hair setting lotion like P2® by Philip Pelusi® Increase. Then divide hair in half from ear to ear and twist up the crown of the head and secure with a clip. This will work as a dry set. Once you take the hat off and remove clip, toss to separate hair and revive hair with a hair refreshing product like as P2® by Philip Pelusi® RefresHair®.
