Versatile stretchable crown-shaped hair covering

Abstract

A versatile hair covering holds dreadlocks or other large amounts of hair in a way that creates the appearance of a crown yet is practical since it snugly holds the hair and keeps it away from the face. Its versatility allows it to be worn as a hat or under a hat. The hair covering is made of six five-sided panels of stretchable fabric whose bottom edges are stitched to an annular band of fabric having an elastic insert. The crown effect is furthered by inside and outside stitched positioned to create four outer veins that run from a crown apex to the band along a first or second diagonal edge and along a first or second tapered side edge, and a long outer vein that runs from the band to the crown apex and back to the band at an opposite end thereof

Problems solved by technology

For such people, there is a constant problem of keeping the hair away from the face and holding it snugly during all the activities of life, including sleeping, walking, jogging, exercising, cooking, working and showering.

The problem of hair falling and rubbing into the skin of the face or neck and irritating this skin is a prevalent one, particularly since the hair involved is often coarse in texture.

Another problem is the danger that extremely long hair can be caught in a machine.

Unfortunately, the prior art hair coverings for dreadlocks and styles of very large amounts of hair have traditionally been inadequate in this area.
