To tie a durag properly, follow these straightforward steps: Place the durag on your head with the flap hanging at the back. Pull the ties around your head to the front, cross them over each other, then bring the ties back and tie a knot behind your head. Finally, tuck the flap under the knot or fold it to keep the durag securely in place. Make sure the durag is snug but not too tight to avoid discomfort or hair issues. This method helps maintain hairstyles like 360 waves and protects your hair effectively.
