1 Soak the crown of the hat in hot water so it softens. Fill a tub or sink with hot water and hold the crown of the hat in the water for a minute or less. Wear the hat until it dries, letting it mold to the shape of your head. Be careful not to burn your hands when using the hot water.[6] X Research source
- Avoid getting water on the bill unless you’d like to shape the bill as well.
- If you do want to shape the bill, you can do so before or after shaping the crown.
- Wait a few minutes for the hat to cool before wearing it.
2 Shape the bill of the hat with your hands for precise bends. Using your hands to bend the bill while it's still dry is the best way to ensure you have the most control over the shape of your hat. Bend the bill however much you’d like, either while you’re wearing the hat or while holding it.[7] X Research source
- You’ll need to bend the hat using your hands frequently so that it starts to take the shape you want.
3 Wrap the dry bill around a softball to make it nicely curved. Place a softball underneath the bill of the hat and use a rubber band to tie the softball to the bill. Make sure the bill is wrapped tightly around the softball so that it will have a real curve. Leave the softball wrapped in the hat for a day or two so it bends properly.[8] X Research source
- Undo the rubber band whenever you’d like to check on the bill of your hat, if desired.
4 Stick the bill of the hat in a mug for an easy fix. This is a good way to bend the bill without a lot of effort or getting the hat wet. Get out an empty, clean coffee mug and fit the bill of the hat inside so that it’s bent in a semicircle. Leave the hat in the mug overnight, or until you’re satisfied with the shape of the hat.[9] X Research source
- Pick out a coffee mug that's a perfect circle so that the bill of the cap will form a perfect semicircle.
