FAQ's
What is a ponytail beanie?
A ponytail beanie has a design that is the same as a regular beanie, but with an opening at the back to pull your hair through. The opening allows you to wear your hair up more comfortably during winter. Ponytail beanies keep your hair from getting crushed against your neck. Many ponytail beanies, like our Trailblazer Hat, have slot designs that will close completely so there is no gap on days you want to wear your hair down.
What hairstyles can I wear with these beanies?
The ponytail openings in these beanies allow you to easily wear a ponytail, braid, or bun. You can also opt to wear your hair down.
Are ponytail beanies good for thick hair?
Yes, ponytail beanies can work well for thick hair. Stretchy fabric allows for a wide variety of hair types to fit through the ponytail opening. For especially thick or long hair, wearing it in a ponytail, braid, or bun before putting on the hat can make it easier to fit comfortably through the hole.
