Product Questions

What makes Kiss My Ponytail hats different from regular hats?

Our hats feature an adjustable ponytail opening that lets you wear your hair in any style while maintaining full UPF 50+ sun protection. Unlike caps with simple holes, our design provides complete coverage while accommodating high ponytails, low buns, braids, or hair worn completely down.

What is UPF 50+ and why does it matter?

UPF 50+ (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) means our hats block 98% of harmful UV rays. It's the highest rating available and provides excellent protection for your scalp, face, and neck. Australia has some of the highest UV exposure in the world, making proper sun protection essential.

Are the hats suitable for all activities?

Absolutely. Our hats are designed for active lifestyles including running and jogging, tennis, beach and pool activities, gardening, hiking, and everyday casual wear. The adjustable ponytail opening stays secure during movement.

What hairstyles work with the ponytail opening?

  • High ponytails and low ponytails
  • Messy buns and top knots
  • Braids and plaits
  • Hair worn down (opening closes completely)

Sizing and Fit

How do I know which size to order?

Measure around your head about 2cm above your eyebrows and ears using a flexible measuring tape. Our sizes are: Small (52-54 cm), Medium (56-58 cm), Large (60-62 cm). Check our full Size Guide for details.

What if the hat doesn't fit properly?

No worries. We offer exchanges within 30 days. Contact us at hello@kissmyponytail.com.au and we'll arrange an exchange. Our adjustable strap also provides 4cm of variation within each size.

Do the hats run small or large?

Our hats are true to size based on head circumference. Most customers find their usual hat size works perfectly. If you're between sizes, choose the larger size as our adjustable back strap lets you tighten the fit.

Care and Maintenance

How do I wash my hat?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water (30°C or below) with mild liquid detergent. Air dry only -- never use a tumble dryer or heat source. See our full Care Instructions guide for details.

Will washing reduce the UPF protection?

Not if washed correctly. Following our care instructions maintains the UPF 50+ rating. Avoid hot water, bleach, or tumble drying as these can degrade the UV-protective properties of the fabric.
