This is true for me, too. Its even worse now that my hair is short. I tend to wear a lot of hats on the weekend because it's faster than a shower. I'm in a big brim hat out on the farm, a baseball hat when we run errands and then a plain black or white hat if I have to look slightly more presentable but don't have time to shower/wet my hair.

What I really wish is that I could have long hair/pony tail for my weekend life and short, spiky, styled hair for my work week. Anyone know of a way that would be possible besides using a wig?

For running, I have to wear white. My head gets way too hot in the sun in anything darker. I've got two styles of white Nike running hats that I use. This is the one I bought at a local sporting goods store. It would be good for someone with a small head (its a tad too small for me - ie not deep enough):

This is the one I LOVE, purchased at the Nike employee store.

Cool, well-fitted with slight stretch, comfortable, but does not fly off in a wind (which happens to me a lot because I have a big head and thick hair so hats tend to not fit me well). The brim sheds water nicely when it's raining, too.
