It's supposed to make your hair flatter and more manageable after washing.
I plan on doing that since my hair gets all poofy after drying. Is this a good idea? :P
I actually used to do this quite often, and it succeeds in making your hair less poofy. Just make sure you tuck all your hair under the beanie or else you'll end up with hat hair.
Nowadays, I rarely bother with hats unless its really cold outside or my hair looks absolutely horrible or wretched.
Peace,

Also, be sure to keep your hair from getting tangled in the propeller!
Its spinning might make your hair dry faster though? [wink]

Sagely advice mixed with a decidedly off-beat sense of humor, all within a sentence or two. Bill, you're posts are always appreciated.
Peace,

Thanks, Ryan! Life is too short to not have fun along the way.
A lot of guys cease being playful about the time they turn 23. What a waste of a life!

A "beanie" (?) made of wool would benefit your hair, actually, because there's naturally occuring lanolin in wool. Yay, sheep and llamas! However, I've found that artificial fibers like acrylic, polyester, and monofiber (a more rarefied form of nylon, usually used to make fake hair falls and extensions) serves only to make hair flat, static-y, and fly-away.
Stick to the "beanies" (?) w/ natural materials, hemp, cotton, wool. But ya MIGHT find it'll dry out the hair itself, not just dry the hair quicker. My experience.
It is a very good idea. I did this during the "wings" stage, i made sure all my hair was under the hat while it was drying, then after it was dry, it would not wing out at all for the entire day.
