Taking care of your silky durag:

Here you need to know how to tie a silky durag to take care of it so that it laster longer in durability. You also need to know how to wash it.

How to tie your silky durag?

Once you own a durag, you may always want to wear it every day. So, here we are going to give you three different ways to tie your silky durag according to the occasion and the situation for which you wear it.

For daily use:

• First, choose the silky durag you want to tie and place it on your head. Make sure you place the middle of the durag in the middle of your head. Place it just down until your forehead and keep your hair inside the durag.
• Second, wrap the strings of the durag behind your head. Pull each of them backward respecting both sides.
• Third, bring the strings in the front of your head. Make sure you do not hide your ears with the silky durag. Always, put the durag behind your ears.
• Fourth, wrap them once again to the back, front and again, to the back. Do not tighten it too much. You may encounter difficulty untying it later and you may as well have a headache if you tightenit too much.
• Finally, you can knot it in your own ways. You can have it double knotted if you like. You can also fold the flap if necessary.

For night use:

Our personal likes and dislikes does not have any effect on how we tie a satin Durag and how it could be worn and knotted. We have a common way of knotting them for haircare while sleeping during the night.

• Do your regular haircare, brush/comb your hair and hydrate it.

• Place the satin Durag on your head.

• Make sure the center of the Durag is placed at the center of your head.

• The front edge should be placed between the hairline and the eyebrow that is on your forehead.

• Wrap the tails around your head.

• You can knot them down the skull or have them upward.

• You can wear it as long as you can but not too tight otherwise it will be difficult to untie them and you may have a headache.

• Do not forget to wash your satin Durag regularly.

For a specific ceremony

• Tie the tails of the skinny do-rag together.
• Keep it in your hands and make a twofold hitch with the closes of the tails, so that they like a circle and you will have the portion that covers the head at one conclusion and the hitch on the other side.
• You can cut off little pieces from each conclusion after you have tied them together. Place the headkerchief on your head. Most people prefer to part it upward so that it does not leave any marks on the hair. However, you can have it folded down if you want to add great appeal to the top.
• Wrap the tails around your head. Pull the curl formed by the tails of the headscarf towards the back of the head.
• Turn it. This will naturally bring them back to the front of your head and wrap them around your forehead. When you use this technique, the tails are actually like ropes, rather than flattened like strips of cloth. Since the knots are already tied, there is no further action required on the tight bonnet, tails.
• Attach the flap to your head. Take the flap in one hand and use the other to tie it into a knot. I should practically look like a ponytail made from fabric.
• After that, you can tighten the flap and tie it under the Durag in question.
• By adopting this technique, your scarf tie should be very comfortable and you can easily run your finger between the knots and the part that covers your head.
• Untie the knots if necessary. You can untie the knots if you are just spending time at home or about to go to bed. However, this will give you a sloppy appearance and may prevent you from sleeping.

When and how to wash them?

For any types of durags, it is very important to wash them regularly to prevent from scalp orskin diseases, which we can catch when it is too dirty. However it is always preferable if you handwash it. These are what we need to consider when washing it:

• You can use any mild soap.
• You would hand wash it.
• Wash it as if you are washing a soft silk.
• Make sure you get clear water before it is finished.

What are the steps for hand washing any durag?

• First of all, always make sure that you always inform about the instructions labeled in the durag.
• Take a bassin or use a sink if you want and fill is with cool water.
• It is better you use detergent than a soap to avoid more wrinkles on the durag and also to save the durability of the durag.
• Put the durag in the water with detergent at let it soak there for about thirty minutes.
• Press it gently and avoid scrubing or twisting. Always press gently until it is clean.
• Change the water for new clean water and repeat the process of pressing until it is completely clean.
• Now that it is clean, use a drying rack to air-dry it.
