A durag is a type of headwear commonly worn by individuals, typically made of satin or silk-like material. It is designed to cover and compress the hair, particularly popular among people with textured or curly hair. The durag is often used to maintain waves or curls, protect the hair from damage, or as a fashion statement. It is characterized by its long rectangular shape, which can be tied and secured around the head, covering the scalp and hairline.
