  • Patent number: 10905182
    Abstract: A protective covering for a person's hair covers the hair with a slack foundation and is secured by a form fitting band, the form fitting band serving as a perimeter base of the foundation. The foundation includes a plurality of hair-receiving guidelines, which indicate hair placement for hair strands. The guidelines are positioned across the foundation. The band is preferably Lyrca, such that it can fit different head sizes of different persons. To help improve the fit, a retaining strap is provided for each temporal region, as well as ergonomic contours along the band that conform to a person's ears. Within the foundation is an enclosed region, including head-receiving portion and voluminous hair-protecting portion. The latter portion ensures sufficient space to protect and maintain a person's natural hair and hairstyle. An internal netting helps to catch shedding hairs while a drawstring in the band allows for tightness to be adjusted.
