Durags

I haven't seen any durags for our models, such a staple in Black culture, fashion, and most importantly haircare seems like a good addition. 

I gathered some example pictures below to start.

The main purpose of durags is to protect and perserve hair when sleeping and retain moisture, and most famously to help set waves like this:

They're generally made from silk or satin but there is a variety of materials such as cotton or velvet. While used for haircare, they're often used as fashion statements, people having different color ones for different outfits. 

I'd really love to some added here, especially with creative patterns and styles!

To my considerable surprise, I couldn't find one in the SdeB store, but they do have just about anything else you'd want for textured hair and a lot of black/African-themed clothing.

You could probably make one of these work, just by hiding the hair, and with a little work with MeshGrabber and some different shaders/textures:

It is weird that isn't there, given how much other stuff they've made.

I always forget that renderhub exists. But moreso to my point is the fact that there's only one such product for a common headwear.

Truthfully, there is no one in my family who has ever worn one.

I admit to having utterly no idea what they were

as an Australian, never seen anyone wear one

only in TV and movies from America and didn't know they had a name

I am an American and have had friends who are black, but none have worn them. But I do see them worn but I have never thought to walk up to a stranger and ask them about them. But, I think they would be a useful item to be added to our headwear options. They are worn by some people and would add diversity to our scenes.

In the SE of England (outside London) I've never seen one. Just on American TV shows. Regards, Richard.

I thought they fell out of fashion when Snoop Dogg stopped wearing one.

They are used indoors mostly, part of hair care.
