If a wig isn't for you, or you just want one for certain situations, there are plenty of other options if you want to cover your head — hairpieces, hats, caps,
knitted skullcaps, scarves, and turbans.
The Back Story: Also known as a
skullcap or
knit cap, the beanie was once solely associated with American blue - collar laborers who used the brimless cap to keep hair out of work's way.
