5 Smart Tips to Get Wrinkles Out of a Beach Hat

We all know how annoying it is to get wrinkles out of our clothes. But what about when those wrinkles are in our beach hats?

If you don’t want to spend your whole vacation trying to figure out how to get out of those pesky wrinkles, here are a few smart tips to get the job done quickly and easily.

Hair Straightener

First, try using a hair straightener. Simply run the straightener at a low setting over the wrinkled areas of the hat and watch as the wrinkles disappear.

Steam Iron

Steam iron is another good and safe option for removing those wrinkles.

Just hold the iron about an inch away from the beach hat and let the steam do its magic.

You’ll see the wrinkles start to loosen up and disappear in no time.

Steaming the Brim

If you don’t have a steam iron, all you need is a pot of boiling water and a towel for steaming at any time.

  1. Place the pot of boiling water on a table or counter, and set the towel down next to it.
  2. Drape the crown of the hat over the pot of boiling water, making sure that the brim of the hat is not touching the water.
  3. Then, take the towel and drape it over the crown of the hat, trapping the steam inside.
  4. Let the hat sit for a few minutes.
  5. Finally, remove it and allow it to cool. The wrinkles will be gone!

Placing Heavy Objects

Another quick and easy way to get rid of wrinkles is to put some heavy objects on top of the hat and let them sit for a day or two.

The weight of the objects will help smooth out the wrinkles and get back the style.

Bonus Tip: Weighty objects can be your old books, gym weights, stones, etc.

Vinegar Solution

If you’re looking for a more natural way to get rid of wrinkles, try using a mixture of water and vinegar.

  1. Simply apply the mixture to the wrinkled areas of the hat.
  2. Let it sits for a few minutes.
  3. Then, rinse off the mixture and enjoy your wrinkle-free hat.

Another great product to use is a commercial wrinkle releaser. They can be easily found at most department stores and even some grocery stores.

Can I use a Flat Iron to Get Wrinkles Out of a Beach Hat?

Using a flat iron on your hat may seem like overkill, but it works much better than you’d think.

To do this, place the hat in between two pieces of cardboard so that the bottom of the brim will not get damaged or burned.

Use a medium heat setting on your flat iron. Press down against the hat while moving the iron back and forth along its surface.

Note: Be sure to check the temperature to make sure you’re not burning your straw material.

Repeat the Process

If your hat is too wrinkled, you may need to repeat the selected process a few times. But eventually, your hat will be good as new in no time. So go ahead and give it a try – you won’t regret it.
