Abstract: A towel serves additionally as a headband and head covering when held in place by extended strips which fasten together at the back of the head. The towel is pulled back over the head and held in place with fasteners placed on both the towel and the extended strips. It is pulled forward over the head, for removing perspiration and grime from the face and neck area, and conveniently returned over the head during activity. It is also useful to protect from heat or sun while doing heavy physical work, sports activities, lying on the beach, and the like.Alternatively, the headband closure member comprises an elastic-containing band to effect a firm positioning about one's head.
