Ok so I've been in welding school for some time now and I often have to go directly from school to some other events or function or to my other job. Something I have noticed is the bad hat hair my cotton welding hat gives me. It's pretty good quality, basically denim, so it's durable and hasn't failed me (yet) but I get really frustrated with the friz in my hair when I take it off. My question is, can I use an old satin bonnet at home to line my welding cap to combat the friz? I use one to protect my hair when I sleep most every night so I know it's good for friz, but is there a downside to lining my cotton hat with a different fiber? I'm not fully sure that the satin isn't synthetic and and it would really suck if something bad happened and it melted to my scalp, but I'm pretty sure that would be the last of my worries if my head caught on fire. I know most people here are probably already bald (yes I've seen your pfps I know what demographic y'all are in) but somebody has to know something about lined welding clothing right?

I dont know about all that stuff about satin lining for a weld hat but I do that my $350 hairdo for 35 cents worth of hair that left on my head gets all messed up and it really stresses me out to the point where I need 3 shots of boilo to calm myself down evry day...Im so upset over this...maybe Dear Abby can help me

Popeye

Wear a hat after welding.
There was a member here that worked as a
welder in a shipyard. His WW signature mentioned his having “salon quality hair”.
Not sure if he’s still around.
I wonder how he dealt with this terrible
welding helmet hair crisis.

I think the most important part of this thread is learning what boilo is. Thanks Pop.

If you cared to take the time to like your hats with satin I guess it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I have a leather welding jacket with satin in the shoulders to make it a bit more comfortable. If the satin is made of silk it is not synthetic, which would be the best bet for safety.

I have a bad hair day mosts days so I may not be much help but here goes anyways. Harbor freight has hair shavers but my opinion they are junk. My daughter gets hair products from this place called Sally's next to the dollar store and the Flowing Tide Pub. This Sally's place has professional or professional like to me shavers. It usually takes me two days to shave my hair but I dont think Ive ever had FRIZ hair. The interesting thing about the Flowing Tide pub is they used to have Guiness on tap so they had to pump it with Nitrogen and they even had there own Nitrogen generators in the back. Problem is with Nitrogen you dont get the efervesence like with CO2 and burp and I like burping when drinking beer but the good thing is I have no worries about my bad hair day.

Say Pop's, do you drink bolio our put it on your hair or hat?

Boilo is a drink made from whiskey or moonshine cinnamon raisins honey citrus and all kinds of other stuff...its more of a holiday drink soetimes it is served warm..its a Polish Lithuanian drink from the old country. Its the real deal up here in the anthracite coal region as a lot of folks are Polish Lithuaninan Czech Russian or some other slavic variety Im part Polock or Lithuanian they not sure because the parents died on the way over on the boat and the records got lost and left a baby and part of me comes from that baby.

I tried to send a link for boilo but I dont know how to do that so if you are intrested look up boilo recipes tp make your own its good stuff. They have big time contests around here (like Texas with their chili contests) for the best tasting boilo recipes but there again evryones got there own personal preference how somethin is supposed to taste. Try it its good stuff you cant find it in a liqour store

EDIT>>>I forgot to mention when they use whiskey most folks use 4 Queens whiskey
