Add in more loop cuts on the subsurf mod. That should do it. I take it that smooth shading doesn't work?

• Give your object an Array modifier. Choose a Count of 4. Enable the Merge option.


• Give your object a Simple Deform modifier / Bend mode. Choose an Angle value of 360°. If it doesn't turn around the Z axis, apply the rotation of your object.


• At last, give your object a Subsurf modifier (and press the Smooth Shading button on the Tools panel).


• Move a bit your edges with GG to sharp the crest and the low of the crown.


• Apply the modifiers (except the Subsurf if possible), remove the doubles (where the 360° joint happens).

• Create a Z-scaled, subduvided UV sphere, and a capless cylinder, at the origin.


• Give the cylinder a few horizontal loops, and assign it a Srinkwrap modifier to the sphere; drag it down to a good-looking position in Z


• Select the N,S,E,W vertices on the top loop of the Cylinder, and with Proportional Edit / Linear falloff, drag the points up in Z


• Proportional off, Median Pivot Point, scale the bottom loop to 0 in Z


• Assign a Solidify modifier, with 'Crease' set to 1 for Inner, Outer, and Rim.

The crease will hold against any subdivision.. after applying the modifiers you can extrude down the cylindrical headband, etc. (You might not even need subdivision, maybe AutoSmooth will do..)
