durag
Tied head wrap
A durag is a close-fitting cloth head covering, typically made of silky material, tied at the back.
Originally worn by Black men to protect and compress hair—especially to maintain waves or braids—it has become a fashion item and cultural symbol in hip-hop and Black American style: He put on his durag before bed to keep his waves fresh.
Also spelled do-rag.
