Durags

A durag is a close-fitting, often silky or satin head covering worn to protect the hair and maintain hairstyles, particularly for those with textured or curly hair. It is typically made from materials like satin, silk, or polyester, chosen for their smooth texture and ability to retain moisture, which helps prevent frizz and breakage. The durag has a long tail at the back that is tied around the head to secure it in place, often leaving the hairline and sides snugly covered.

Durags are worn during the day or overnight (while sleeping) to keep a hairstyle intact, but can also be styled as a fashion accessory. The different variations of durags, from plain colors to bold prints and luxury brands, have made them both practical and stylish, and they can be part of a wider streetwear or fashion aesthetic.
