Surgical hats are for use by those who work in sterile environments, such as during surgical procedures. In addition to wearing other sterile clothing such as nursing scrubs, medical scrubs, scrub coats, and other medical apparel, physicians, nurses, technicians, and others who spend time in the operating room are usually required to wear a head covering that conceals all of their hair. Formerly, the state of the art that was available for hair covering options for those with long hair, particularly women, were limited. The most popular style, the bouffant scrub hat, resembles a shower cap, which can be quite unflattering and bulky. Furthermore, the bouffant falls down on the nape of the neck, which can be uncomfortable and get in the way of a stethoscope, which must be worn around the neck.
Following the pony tail hat, the pixie hat was introduced. The pixie hat is another modified surgical hat, but is a bonnet-style hat which is less bulky and much more flattering than the bouffant hat. The pixie hat was created for those with shorter hair who could not wear the pony hat, but still desired a more flattering approach to the operating room. Both the pony hat and the pixie hat are now available in hundreds of beautiful fabrics, all which coordinate nicely with just about any nursing scrubs or medical scrubs worn in the operating room. The bouffant hat used to dominate the operating room, but the pixie hat and pony hat are now taking over the O.R.
