Will the satin lining really protect my hairstyle?

The satin reduces friction, so the hat slides on and off with less snagging and frizz than an unlined acrylic beanie. It helps, but a tight cuff can still flatten volume at the hairline.

Is it warm enough for real winter?

It is a single-layer acrylic knit with a satin lining, so it handles cold days and light wind but not deep freezing wind. It is closer to a fashion beanie than a thermal hat.

Does one size fit everyone?

It is made as one size for adult women, and the knit has some stretch. It tends to fit average heads best and may be snug on larger heads or loose on very small ones.

Can I remove the pom-pom?

The pom-pom is attached to the crown and is not described as detachable. Expect it to stay fixed, and hand wash carefully so the faux fur does not mat.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cold water and air dry flat to keep the acrylic from stretching and the faux fur from clumping. Skip the dryer, which can shrink the knit and ruin the pom-pom.

What colors does it come in?

White, black, yellow, wine red, green, beige, light gray and dark gray. The lining comes in a paisley pattern or a plain champagne satin depending on the version.
