History of the Do-rag
The do-rag is simply a scarf worn on your head to protect your hairstyle or is used for fashion. They are generally worn to keep hairstyles fresh or as part of a fashion outfit. The do-rag has been around a long time. Also spelled variously as a doo-rag, dew-rag, du-rag or durag – is a piece of cloth used by motorcyclists or anyone for that fact, to cover the top of one’s head. Sometimes made of nylon material and having a “skullcap” fit. The term derives from “do” as in hairdo as in earlier years, these were used by African American men to hold chemically processed hair-dos in place while they slept. Over the years motorcyclists started wearing do-rags, especially in states with motorcycle helmet laws, to prevent “helmet hair” or “helmet head” There was also the practical value of the do-rag preventing sweat and scalp oils from causing an unpleasant smelling helmet. They also protect the inside lining of the helmet.
