By now, people should know that hair is not “just hair.” That crown on the top of your head is a verifiable form self-expression.
Stylish durags are on the rise as more Black folks lean into natural hair care. The coolest thing about this durag movement? It’s gender-free. Historically, Black men have rocked silk durags to maintain their waves or protective styles. However, as people continue dissociating fashion with gender, Black folks of all genders have embraced durags as a trendsetting statement piece. Plus, a durag protects your hair from curious hands.
As with many things these days, you can thank TikTok for the current popularity of stylish durags. Black creators continue to set trends across social media. However, the movement of stylish durags has made it all the way to Melrose Place in Los Angeles, where a 20-year-old is opening up the first Black-owned luxury durag shop.
