Scrub Hats for All Occasions

When you think about it, scrub hats could be the most versatile headwear you own. You can use them for a variety of jobs, including medical and home applications. It's the headgear that's best suited to your needs, so get one designed for your specific work. Here are some of the most common types of scrub hats to consider.

Ponytail/ Pixie Style: The Ponytail style is one of the most versatile of all scrub hats. This one features a long crown that begins to taper toward the base of the hair. There are plenty of styles to choose from - even one fitted with a comb. The face is usually covered with lace, although if you prefer, you can use white or other hair colors. The face is shaped to imitate a ponytail, and scrub caps with elastic ties around the ears are great for pulling this look off every day.

Squeaky Face: The Squeaky Head fits closer to your face, making it easy to pull on a tight ponytail for a quick style. Because the elastic band under the crown runs diagonally, you can use more than one hair piece to pull this look off. Most models have elastic band that runs parallel to the hairline, making it easy to secure the band to your head without a lot of fuss. The Squeaky Head can also be used for hair extensions, which is a neat way to add a little flair.

Stretchy Head: There are a number of stretchy head scrub hats available, allowing you to create the look of having long hair with only the base of your neck exposed. The elastic band under the crown stretches to cover the entire length of your head, leaving your neck free. The wide elastic band at the bottom pulls your hair up into a bun or a ponytail, leaving your neck free and showing a lot of cleavage. These scrub hats also come with matching elastic band elastic bands to slip underneath for extra styling options.

Short Hair: If you have shorter hair, you might consider one of the many scrub hats designed specifically to work with short hairstyles. The elastic band under the crown stretches just enough to secure the crown, while also draping your hair naturally. You'll love how easy it is to simply toss your hair in a ponytail whenever you want a quick style without using clips or a wig. With shorter hair, you may also want to consider adding an additional clip at the base of the hat to secure the rest of your hair up in a messy bun or a sleek ponytail. Just be sure not to let your hair slip through the elastic band at the bottom, as you don't want to pull or twist it when you take it off.

Both Layers and Short Sleeve: Layers and short sleeves are equally as attractive as they are flattering, so there is no reason why you shouldn't wear both! A popular style for both long and short hair is a two-tier scrub hat, which provides plenty of coverage and a style that looks good at any time. Choose from flat, ribbed, or spike hair designs and dozens of colors, including classic black and classic navy blue to create the look you want. Another popular style for both layers and short sleeve is the v-neck scrub top. It's practical, comfortable, and easy to wear with longer hair in any natural color.
