Bow Down: Beyonce’ Just Made Promotional Hats that Work for Curly Hair
Beyonce’ is selling a hat, or rather half a hat, designed to accommodate the extra space needed for people with curly hair.
Basically, it’s a 6-panel design with only 4 panels. The two back panels (the ones that would be made of mesh on a meshback) are missing. Instead, the two side panels are connected by an extra-large closure.

Hats Off: Heat Printing Headwear
Back in August, we published an article on How to Head Press Headwear. This article is a refresher on that subject with a step by step guide on pressing all types and surfaces of promotional hats.
Step 1: Flip the sweatband out and place the opening of the hat around the lower platen.
Step 2: Pull the hat tightly against the lower pad to ensure even and equal contact. No void areas between the hat and the pad should be present.
Step 3: Lock down the hold-down device to keep the hat in position during heat transfer placement and application.
Step 4: Place your transfer and press your hat for the recommended time, temperature, and pressure of the transfer you’ve selected.
