hair wrap

Fabric for locks

A hair wrap is a length of fabric or a scarf worn around the head to cover, protect, or style the hair.

Hair wraps serve practical purposes—keeping hair in place during sleep, protecting styles, or covering hair for religious or cultural reasons—and decorative ones.

The term also refers to a style where thin threads are wound tightly around a small section of hair, creating a colorful strand popular as vacation souvenirs: She got a hair wrap at the beach.
