Have you ever put on your favorite hoodie and wondered, “What am I gonna do with my hair?” If this is you, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
It’s the middle of February, and yes, it is unfortunately still freezing cold. While we anticipate spring’s slow arrival, our primary wardrobe continues to consist of sweaters, coats and hoodies. This part of winter can be the most difficult when it comes to feeling cute since we’re constantly having to bundle up.
A significant winter fashion dilemma is how to style your hair when you have all those layers on. More specifically, hoodies can be a major hair hazard. You may not like leaving your hair down because the hood gets in the way, which can then mess up your style and the look you’re going for. You may even decide to change your outfit out of pure indecisiveness (and possibly a touch of frustration).
Not knowing how to style your hair should not stop you from wearing your favorite hoodies. Below are some suggestions on how to style your hair the next time you experience the hoodie-hairstyle debate.
A Classy Slick Back

Slick backs are in, and if you prefer your hair out of your face, this one’s for you. Pairing a slick back style with a hoodie is the perfect combination of cute and comfy. With a bristle brush, some water and a little bit of gel you can achieve a sleek style that will last all day.
The beauty of this hairdo is the variety of options available once you put it up, such as a bun, a braid or a classic ponytail. A slick back can give you a more professional look and have you feeling put together (even if you don’t feel like it) while you’re heading to class.
Braid It Up

Speaking of braids, this hairstyle is another solution that will elevate your cozy look. As a more intricate style, braids will keep your hair out of your hood without piling all of it on top of your head. There are also a variety of options when it comes to braiding your hair. You can style all of it or just a section, and then you can decide if you want a single braid or multiple. Pigtail braids are always a cute and reliable option.
Different braid types are also available to choose from, including French, Dutch and fishtail. If you want to put your hood up on those extra chilly days, longer braids will be more visible if you style them to the side. The true beauty of braids is the freedom that comes with them.
A Cute Claw Clip

Claw clips are another ongoing trend that look amazing with hoodies. They are easy to use if complex styles aren’t your thing, and they also come in many colors and styles. A great way to tie your outfit together for a cute and comfortable look is to match your claw clip with your jewelry.
If you prefer a fancier accessory, they come in other shapes such as flowers, bows and butterflies. They can also work on both long and short hair since they come in different sizes. Claw clips are always a solid choice that will keep your hair out of your hood while saving it from potential hair-tie damage.
Add A Hat

Hats are an underrated way to solve the hoodie-hair issue since they can save you from the stress of styling it, which is especially helpful if you’re in a time crunch. Baseball caps, fuzzy bucket hats and beanies are all fabulous choices when it comes to picking out a hat.
Wearing a hat also allows you to put up your hood without messing up your hair and is another fashionable look. Another recommendation is pulling a few strands out of the hat to create some face framers. Combining braids with a hat is also a super cute option and can give you a sporty look.
Want To Leave It Down? No Problem
Even though these styles are tricks to prevent “hoodie hair,” there is nothing wrong with leaving it down and natural. Hair of all lengths can look amazing with a hoodie, and if you still want to style it, curls and waves are great choices. The most important part is finding a style that leaves you feeling cute and confident in your favorite hoodie, because you deserve to feel as good as you look.
