Its waving season! Whether you are a seasoned waver or are new to 360 wave training, the proper durag can make all the difference in your waves. Proper hair protection is key to having deeper 360 waves. You are probably used to hearing about silky durags aka the silky. What most people do not know is that the silky durag is actually a satin durag.
The silky satin durag is a staple for anyone and something that you should have in your wardrobe. In this article, we discuss everything that you need to know about the satin durag and show you the best places to buy a durag online! But first, here is a crash course on satin material.
Dating back to medieval China, satin is a type of weave with a complex structure. Despite popular opinion, it is not a raw material. The satin weave is made by four or more weft threads going over one warp thread or vise versa.
Satin weaves with fewer interlaces leads to the smooth surface that we all love.
When satin is produced using filament fibers such as silk, nylon, or polyester, then the resulting fabric is satin. However, in the past and in some people's definitions, some insist satin can only be made from silk.
It depends if you’re a purist or not. If you’re producing a satin weave using filament fibers such as silk, nylon or polyester, then your resulting fabric is a Satin. However, there are some definitions that insist a Satin fabric can only be made from silk.
So now you have a background on satin as a material. We know that it is good for drapes and dresses, but are satin durags good for my hair? Yes, the benefits of satin are perfect to protect your hairstyles.
What's the difference between a satin durag vs silk durag?
Well for starters, the name silk durag came from the look of the durag. Because of the satin material, the durag looks smooth, soft, and sophisticated. 99% of the "silky durags" that you see are made from satin.
To get more technical silk is the name of the fiber and satin is the name of the textile weave. Silk can be used to form satin, but also weaved in a way that is not considered satin. Satin can be made from any longer fibers, not just silk.
The main difference between velvet and satin is the material.
Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric, that due to the threads being cut evenly with a short dense pile, it is given a distinctive soft feel.
Satin is a weave that has a glossy surface and a dull back. When trying to choose between these two types of durags, the only things you should consider are:
You know the old phrase, too much of a good thing is a bad thing? Well, that applies to almost every aspect of life including wearing durags!
Durags are amazing, they are fashionable and they protect your hair. You can wear a durag all day and not have any issues, so long as you do not tie it too tight.
There as been cases where wearing a durag too often and too tight can cause the hair under the ties to thin slightly. Usually, this happens with days of continuing wearing a durag too tight without giving your hair a break.
Now if you are experiencing this, fear not after a couple of days or weeks your hair will return to its normal thickness.

]]>We are back again with another edition of exposing that fake designer durag. Fresh from posting about the Champion durag and the Louis Vuitton Durag, today we are going to be speaking about the Fendi durag.
As with all of our posts, we are only giving information to inform. A lot of people looking online are wondering if the designer durags that they see are real. These articles are to help those find out. If you are interested in purchasing a designer inspired durag like the Fendi durag, skip to the bottom where we rank the best ones we found on Amazon.
Fendi is an Italian luxury fashion house that produces many ready to wear clothing along with fur, leather goods, shoes, eyewear, and accessories. The brand was founded in Rome in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi as a fur and leather shop.
Fendi has a history of staying family-owned, with the relatives of the founders having strong inputs in the direction of the brand.
Much like other designer durags, no authentic Fendi durag exists. The Fendi silk durags that you have seen are "designer inspired".
Telling the difference between an authentic designer durag and a fake one is simple. There are two things you should look for:
The websites that sell these durags should let you know that these durags are not real. Authentic Fendi will be found on websites that sell other designers' brands.
The price is another clue. Items at Fendi cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. They are not going to make a fashion accessory for $20.
Shopping on Amazon has it's up and downs. Prime shipping helps, but you want to make sure the seller is legit.
Here are some of the better sellers we found on Amazon, click the picture to learn more about the durag.
Hey there wavers! We are back with another blog where we breakdown designer durags that we find online.

In this article, we are going to cover the Champion durag.
But first here is some information about the sportswear brand.
Champion U.S.A is a subsidiary of Hanesbrands and is their second-largest brand only second to Hanes. Champion was established in 1919 by Feinbloom brothers, under the name Knickerbocker Knitting Company. Soon after they were established the Feinbloom brothers signed a contract to be the sole provider of uniforms for the Michigan Wolverines.
In the1930s the company was rebranded to Champion Knitting Mills Inc and began producing its world-famous sweatshirts.
Soon after the rebrand, Champion products were used by the US Military Academy during training exercises and physical education classes worldwide.

While Champion is well versed in fashion and sports apparel, they do not make durags. However, that does not mean that in the future they will not. Hopefully, if that day happens they will contact BetterSpiritsDurags for a collab!
The durags that you see with a champion logo are champion "inspired" or "designer inspired" durags.

As many people know Off-White was founded in 2012 by Virgil Abloh, American designer and close friend to Kanye West. What most people do not know is that the original name of the brand was "PYREX VISION". Facing criticism for printing "PYREX 23" on classic Ralph Lauren rugby flannels, Virgil rebranded the company to what is now known as Off-White.
The brand's clothing and accessories make use of quotations, zip ties, industrial buckles, and arrows as its stylistic design. The label has grown since its founding in 2012 and now has 50 stores and is carried in some high-end retailers.
What the brand is most known for, however, is its collaborations, in particular, the ones with Nike and Ikea.
At this point in time, no off white does not make durags. So any off white designer durags that you see on people's heads are not authentic.
Will they ever create a durag? Maybe so, we hope to be the ones that they collaborate with if they ever do.
Okay so you read our review above and you still want to purchase an off white silky durag. That's cool, here are the best places to find on Amazon (click on the picture to learn more!)
Hey there wavers! We are back again with another blog on designer durags. In our previous posts, we covered and exposed the Gucci durag, the Louis Vuitton Durag, and the Burberry durag. In today's post, we will be talking about the Balenciaga durag.
Founded in Spain by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Balenciaga is a luxury fashion house that has a reputation for uncompromising standards. Balenciaga's style is modernistic silhouettes and has recently seen popularity in its sneakers (the ones that look like socks!)
To date, Balenciaga has made a number of different types of clothes. Ranging from t-shirts to bags. One thing that Balenciaga has yet to make is a durag. So no the Balenciaga durag you are looking at is not real.
When trying to determine if a designer durag is real or fake, it is best to look at 2 things:
Balenciaga clothing and accessories sell for hundreds and thousands of dollars. A give away that the Balenciaga silky durag is not real is that the price is too cheap.
As for where the durag is being sold. Designer stores like Balenciaga only allow certain high-end retailers to sell their clothing. So when trying to determine if the designer durag is real, take a good look at the website. Does it look like they would be selling authentic items?
Hey there!, we are back again with a review of designer durags and helping you figure out where you can buy a real designer durag and which ones are fake (). In our last posts, we covered the Gucci durag and the Louis Vuitton Durag. In this post, we talk about the Burberry durag, but first here is some history about the British luxury fashion house.
Headquartered in London, England Burberry Group PLC is a luxury fashion house that is known for its trench coats, accessories, fragrances and other ready to wear outerwear. But, the main thing that Burberry is known for is their trademark plaid print.
Burberry was established in 1856 by Thomas Burberry. His focus was outdoor attire, but soon as moved into high fashion with the development of a fabric called Gabardine.
Since its first store opened in 1891, Burberry has exploded in popularity worldwide and still is one of the most progressive fashion houses to date.
So you are looking for a Burberry durag to wear with your outfit, but you are struggling to know if it is real. Sorry to break it to you, but that $20 Burberry durag you are looking at is not real.
The average price of Burberry's pieces run for several hundred dollars. With some of their super high-end pieces fetching for thousands of dollars. That coupled with the fact that only a few retailers are authorized to sell authentic Burberry clothing, a flag should let you know that the $20 Burberry durag that you are looking at is not real.
If Burberry ever decided to collaborate and release a durag, you will be able to find it on their website or maybe even on ours =]!
Now, if you do not care about that and you still want a Burberry inspired durag, we have found some of the best options for you below:
