If, like me, you're not a fan of the beanie, these four options will help you keep your head warm despite the cold.
I hate wearing the beanie, it just doesn't suit me. So don't get me wrong: I don't like it on me, but I don't mind it on other people. I'm not sure where this dislike comes from. I think it's because of the static build-up in my hair. I'm well aware that this is not really a problem. If you're not a fan of the beanie either, or want a change altogether, in this article I present four headwear options.
#1 Earmuffs
Not only do they look good, they also protect against freezing temperatures, as the ear cups are padded. The only drawback is that the metal hoop can hurt your head over time. If that bothers you, then you could opt for the following accessory... [[product:8269194,8269190,9576675]]
#2 Headbands
You shouldn't encounter the earmuff problem by choosing a headband that's not too tight. Its advantage? It keeps the forehead warm. However, the convertible of head coverings, so to speak, has one major drawback: in the event of snow or rain, only the ears are protected, not the hair or the head.

#3 Gavroches
You have to suffer to be beautiful, or rather "freeze" in this case. A hat like this protects the head, but not the eardrums. That said, if it does rain, your hair will stay dry, which is not useless in winter. [[product:9768539,8269179,9684040]] [[product:9648324,8569088,8269180]]
#4 Balaclavas
Let's face it, a headgear that comes down below the chin, masking almost the entire head and part of the neck, is a matter of habit, especially in the dark, where you can quickly get a few scares. On the plus side, this balaclava is still excellent protection on days when the weather is acting up, especially when cycling. [[product:6753900,9414873,6328033]]
