Abstract
A hat with hair keeping device including an outer layer with a crown, a continuous side wall, a front portion, rear portion and a brim. An inner layer is disposed within the outer layer. The inner layer has upper, forward, and rearward portions. Parallel lower and upper seams are continuously disposed between the continuous side wall and the brim with a cinching body continuously disposed within the lower and upper seams. There is an opening disposed in the rear portion of the outer layer. The opening is configured to receive a portion of the cinching body there through with the drawstring secured posteriorly to the rearward portion of the outer layer by tying the ends of the drawstring together. The silk or satin inner layer reduces hair breakage by reducing friction against the hair and helps avoid perspiration around the hairline, thus assisting in keeping the hairstyle intact.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of hair-keeping hats are known in the prior art. However, what is needed is a hat with hair keeping device having a drawstring that assists in wrapping relaxed or straight hair and secures the hair within the hat to protect the hair from breakage and to maintain the hair style.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hairstyling hat, and more particularly, to a hat with hair keeping device for wrapping relaxed or straight hair to secure the hair in place protecting the hair from breakage and to maintain the style.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the present hat with hair keeping device, described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a hat with hair keeping device which has many novel features that result in a hat with hair keeping device which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combination thereof.


To accomplish this, the present hat with hair keeping device includes an outer layer. The outer layer has a crown, a continuous side wall, and a brim. The outer layer has a front portion and a rear portion. An inner layer is disposed within the outer layer. The inner layer has an upper portion, a forward portion, and a rearward portion. The inner layer is formed of silk and alternately is formed of satin. The outer layer can be formed of a fabric blend of cotton and polyester.


Parallel lower and upper seams are continuously disposed between the continuous side wall and the brim. A pocket is continuously disposed between the lower seam and upper seam. A cinching body is continuously disposed within the pocket. The cinching body is a drawstring and can alternately be elastomeric.


There is an opening disposed in the rear portion of the outer layer. The opening is configured to receive a portion of the cinching body there through. The drawstring is secured posteriorly to the rearward portion of the outer layer by tying the ends of the drawstring together.


The silk, and alternate satin, inner layer reduces hair breakage by reducing friction against the hair and, in addition, helps avoid perspiration around the hairline, thus assisting in keeping the user's hairstyle intact.


Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of the present hat with hair keeping device so that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.
