Definition of do-rag
informal
: a close-fitting, typically stretchable piece of cloth that is worn on the head (as to hold a hairstyle in place) and that usually has long ends which are tied in the back

I’ve never seen it spelled du rag before.

Guess those misogynists don’t one any similarly with hairdo.

A du-rag is a large handkerchief you tie around the top of your head - usually to keep sweat out of your face while exercising.

In Vietnam soldiers would do the old trick of tying a bandana around their heads so soak up sweat.

This became known there as a DEW rag. Sweat...dew...get it?

It's been misunderstood and mis-spelled by the ignorant ever since.
