This is a nice Black FELT Cowgirl Hat. It is a pretty good hat because it seems to work well with more hairstyles and your hair shouldn't stick through the hat especially on the FRONT! However your hair can stick out in the BACK and sometimes on side. Depends on the hairstyle. So please check to make sure, but it works great for a lot of my own hair. I hope you will find this to work well for you but please check it with your own hairstyles first. Thank you, Enjoy and have FUN !
