hat head

Beanie hair aftermath

Hat head is the flattened, messy state of hair after wearing a hat for a while.

The hat compresses the hair against the scalp, leaving it matted or oddly shaped when removed: I can't take off my beanie—I've got serious hat head.

The term also describes someone particularly prone to this condition.
