In one form or another, the do-rag has been around for thousands of years. In America, early American men and women tied bandanas on their heads for protection against the elements.

Although exactly when the motorcycle community adopted the do-rag is unclear, they began appearing in motorcycle clubs in the late 1960's and early 1970's. With the changing of designs and the addition of sweatbands and polymer cooling crystals the do rag has gained popularity among a whole new line of life styles such as doctors, law enforcement, construction workers, chemo patients, welders, PE teachers, paintball players, athletes, chefs and is growing popularity daily in many other life styles.
