Made with any light breathable fabric material, cut into two rectangular pieces of different proportion and two pieces of elastic of different proportion all sewn together. The wearer pulls it over the head and around the neck, removing the hair from under the pouch and letting it rest over the pouch.

It keeps the hair tucked away from the face and neck when the wearer decides to wear it either to stay at home, exercise, go out to run errands, as a work head covering or to go out for the evening. It can be worn in a decorative manner to make a fashion statement or professionally worn in any work environment such as hospitals, food facilities, beauty salons, dance schools and professional offices that require the hair to be covered and contained.

The following U.S. patents referenced to the headband hair pouch accessory disclose similar head coverings but their purpose is to create a ponytail, bun or chignon as well as being limited to wearing it in the confinement of the home, whereas this present invention is to eliminate the need for ponytail or hair constriction not having to use any hairpins, rubber band or any other tight restriction to the hair and scalp and it is not limited to the confinement of the home. With the present invention the hair is tucked in a small pouch leaving the hair loose which can be decorated with rhinestones, beads, sequin and other decorative material. As well as with the headband hair pouch accessory not one size fits all due to the different hair length therefore several sizes of small, medium, large, extra small or extra large can be designed thus providing the different cut size of material for that purpose. Also the headband hair pouch is cut into two pieces of fabric material in a rectangular shape of different proportion with a piece of elastic of different proportion inserted in each of the pieces but only on one side of the larger piece.
