RE: hats

Yes, you'll have "hat head" ... but no more than a person with a full head of their own growing hair.

I do wear baseball caps still ... and I will say that I am NOT comfortable removing one in public. It may be my own paranoia, and it is probably due to my length/style. If you wear a short fade style on the back and sides like mcat's recent pics (awesome, btw!), it will not be an issue. I wear it longer on the back and sides, and a baseball cap's edges are right at about my join point. When I remove a hat, it tends to lift the piece hair out a bit from my own, emphasizing the join point.

So I always try to do it privately, and do as paul does with a bit of water and fluffing/smoothing with a brush or hands.

YMMV,
