Why do black people wear socks on top of their heads?

Question

I don't get it. Black people like to wear thse book covers on top of their heads 24x7. I know it's to make their hair wavy, but they never take it off, so no one can ever see and admire how wavy their hair has become.

Is this a new trend that others should pick up? Is wavy hair really attractive enough for someone to wear a book sock on their head every hour of every day?

Answer 1

I think it's kind of become the trend, too.
I see what your saying.

Answer 2

Greetings first of all it's a do-rag sold in local beauty supply stores. Yes it is a way to create waves. But it is not outer wear as it has become. maybe it's become habit forming for those who WEAR them. However you look at it different cultures wear head gear all the time and there not black

Answer 3

I would have to say that I have never seen anyone of my black brothas or sistahs outside of the home with either a shower cap or bag from the supermarket on their heads. That I believe my child was an insult. However, black people take pride in their hair so wherever we go we protect it. Whether it is kept in a du rag/stocking cap or in some sort of head rag. The head dress goes way back with blacks, even to the beginning of time. Ya know when EVERYBODY resided in Africa. Also, I think that it would have been more appropriate for blacks to answer this question instead of whites or any other people who's looking for a good laugh. Peace.
