When is Durag Day?

It's national durag day on the 19th October.

Just 'Head'-ing Into Culture and Style

Started as a trend in the African-American community during the Harlem Renaissance, the durag has moved from a symbol of oppression to a signifier of creativity, swag, and fierce individuality. With 4493 mentions online and the largest wave (pun intended) on October 19, 2017, National Durag Day has transformed a casual accessory into a profound cultural celebration.

The Rise of the Durag Dynasty

The durag has enjoyed its journey from taboo to trendy, becoming a fashion statement for pop stars, rappers, and athletes. Most importantly, it's a beacon of resistance and resilience within a community, cementing a unique identity with unapologetic confidence- all wrapped up (literally) in a piece of cloth!
