Abstract: A head covering is described that is positioned on a head of a wearer to retain the wearer's hair in a desired position. The head covering comprises a hooded cap and an extension. The hooded cap includes a pair of ties and a set of straps. The hooded cap is secured to the head of the wearer using ties. The extension connects to the hooded cap on one end and includes an opposing distal end portion with a free terminal end. The extension includes a pouch and a flap. The pouch defines a first aperture in proximity to the hooded cap and a second aperture in proximity to the flap.

Abstract: My invention the Locks Down is a head covering consisting of: a hooded portion that sits on top of the wearers head, a back portion containing a pocket/passageway for the hair/braids to pass through, middle and bottom straps positioned on the back portion of the invention to hold the hair/braids in place. The method of application of this invention is as such: the wearer puts their hand through the passageway grabbing their hair and pulling it through the passageway. Then the hooded portion is pulled towards the top of the wearers head and positioned on top of head. Next the straps on the hooded portion are tied behind the wearers head securing the invention in place. Then the middle and bottom straps are snapped beneath the pocketed portion of the invention, between the back of the wearers neck and the invention keeping the hair/braids secure. The invention can be made from many different materials, such as cotton, leather, terry cloth and water resistant fabrics.
