The history of durag:

The history of the durag is deep and mythological, it is an unspoken tradition built around a simple piece of fabric. It is a hair item so widely available, yet so personally defined. What makes the durag so unique that it defines decades of black American culture?

One of the first published mentions of the durag was in the June 1966 Akron Beacon Journal, then spelled “Do Rag.” It was described there as “a strip of cloth worn around the forehead like a headband, a sweat scarf to hold the hair in place.” They have evolved since the 19th century, when slave women used headbands to hold their hair in place while working. Companies like So Many Waves are credited with selling their version of the durag in the late 1970s, called the “Tie-down.” It became an indispensable tool for black men, used to shape their curls or to set hairstyles while sleeping. The durag remained exclusively functional until the 1990s, when it began to become a symbol of inner-city black culture. Years before the fashion industry took notice, it had become fashionable on the streets. The durag went from being a hair care item (for the wave) to a legitimate style accessory, popularized by hip-hop in particular and reflected on the heads of men and boys across the country.

The durag was originally used mainly for waves

Growing up, the goal was always to have the best waves. Most of us had to train our hair to achieve this look with a bandana. My technique was to spray my hair with water, apply pomade and oil, then brush it until my arms burned. I would finish the process by loosely tying my durag (with the seam on the outside to avoid the dreaded forehead line). I would wake up the next morning with bright, swirling waves. Having waves did not mean meeting a standard of beauty and was not imposed by the outside world. Durags represented the pride of natural hair, decades before hashtags existed. This ritual continues today, with videos all over social media. Each clip contains groups of young people proudly showing off their 360 waves (when their curl pattern creates a wave effect that envelops the entire head). This took the style to new heights, turning into a friendly competition. Durags has made it cool that black men care about the appearance of their hair. 

The field of fashion has then appropriated the durag

There’s no denying that high fashion has found inspiration in accessories such as the durag. There have been subtle and not so subtle interpretations on the catwalks, sporting silky durags of all styles and colors: black, pink, red, white, purple. However, to wear it, you need a gait that cannot be borrowed. Solange Knowles effortlessly wore a durag adorned with a halo at the 2018 Met Gala. Before her, there was rapper Cam’ron, who made pink durags a thing in the early 2000s. They became more flamboyant in that era. Today, there are countless colors, prints, lengths and fabrics. Many stars grace the cover of Vogue with durags. Durags are customizable to match any look or attitude. They manage to be both street and punk. Durags make a statement, but they’re more than just fashion. They are a piece of history that has remained intact, allowing the wearer to express who they are. This is why they are so fascinating in that they represent the styles of an often misunderstood counterculture.  Today the durag is being worn more and more thanks to the black power movement especially with the star Rihanna who proudly asserts her Afro origin.
