Abstract: A caplike head covering for placing over the hair immediately after washing or otherwise wetting the hair is made from absorbent material adapted to readily control liquids dripping from the hair. A piece of an absorbent, foldable, sheet material is formed into a tube closed at the ends. One of the closed ends is pushed axially inwardly of the tube toward the other closed end, whereby the tubular piece is folded inwardly upon itself to provide a double-walled, absorbent headpiece.
