The du-rag is making a comeback and we should all be stupid hype.
The du-du dates back to the 19th century when the less fortunate (slaves and poor laborers) needed something to tie their hair back with.
Fast forward to the 1930s, the “tie back hair du preserve” became common in households during the Great Depression and the Harlem Renaissance.
We all know the ’90s proved the du-rag to be a fashionable trend as our favorite athletes and artists started to sport them outside the crib.
