Can I ask what kind of hat or head cover you use? I don't have dreads (I want them though, DH says NO WAY!!) but I do have really long hair. I'd like something to get it OUT OF MY WAY sometimes. Something different from the usual braid or bun I usually put it in.
Thanks
Chandi

I had dreads for a while, and my favorites were bandanas and crocheted, thick hair bands. I also used one cut-off leg of a pair of red stockings that I just tied in a knot to make into a loop; it was super stretchy but kind of gripped the hair, too (but not in a damaging way).
I wear a few crochet and knitted tams. I also like a big scarf. I usually make those out of what ever fabric I like at the time. Currently my favorite wraps are the crinkle cotton from Joanns. I wrap it in a bun in the back of my head. You can sort of see it under my hat in this photo. This is done with just a 36" square of light weight linen.

I rotate between a few bandanas, a pretty colorfarm scarf, a couple of vintage silk scarves, depending on how dressed up or down I want to be. I've found at vintage stores scarves are usually plentiful and a bargain.
