The DURAG GROUP is a leading supplier, developer and manufacturer of products for combustion systems in commercial and industrial plants, environmental monitoring and traffic sensors. A durag is a type of hair covering used by Black people to help protect their hair and maintain a wavy hair texture. Each RICH MNISI offering presents a new dimension of this duality from the designer’s distinct point of view, celebrating culture, heritage, and the common human experience. The brand is the artistic manifestation of a bold vision – a vision inspired by sources beyond fashion, including film, music, art and nature, delivered through an innovative design process that champions superior craftsmanship. Most of us had to train our hair to achieve that look. My technique was to spray my hair with water, apply Murray's pomade and oil, then brush until my arms burned. The process was completed by loosely tying down my durag (with the seam on the outside to avoid the dreaded forehead line). I would wake up the next morning with shiny, spinning waves. Having waves wasn't about fitting a standard of beauty and it wasn't being enforced by the outside world. Wearing a durag provides essential haircare benefits, making them the ultimate haircare accessory for black men. Durags help maintain moisture, reduce frizz, and prevent breakage by minimising friction. They are crucial for enhancing and maintaining waves and keeping braids and other protective styles intact. Durags are also worn as an identity-making fashion choice, popular in Black culture and African-American culture. I've tried a bunch of durags, but these ones take the cake. They can be mundane or street couture masterpieces—it's always the same energy. Even if you never leave the house in one, you can't deny the importance of a good durag. It's the epitome of creating something from nothing. It's undeniable that high fashion has found inspiration from the durag. No one taught me how to use them—it just came naturally. I'm sure that speaks for many men and women around the world. From fresh Caesar cuts to braids, natural fros and every style in between, they have been counted on to help preserve and maintain Black hair. Boasting thousands of designs, from silk durags to cotton bandanas, we cater to every style and taste. Whether you prefer simplicity or extravagance, there's a perfect choice that aligns with your vision. Our durags aren't just for keeping your waves silky and protecting your crown; they're about owning your throne and staying fresh. Just like any other type of hair covering, durags also need to be taken care of to keep your hair and scalp happy and looking its best. A clean durag is also good skincare, so avoid dirt and bacteria that can affect your skin. In the 1930s, during the Harlem Renaissance and Great Depression, the durag was used to maintain hairstyles. They're smooth, lightweight, and leave zero hair marks. Born from the pulse of African-American culture, we know that durags and bandanas are more than pieces of cloth. It's a crown saluting our roots, journey, and future. But every challenge, late-night sewing session, thread, and stitch only fueled our determination. These authentic experiences built the brand, piece by piece, connecting us even more deeply with our community. DURAG GROUP products are rugged and versatile, use state-of-the-art circuitry and satisfy the highest safety demands for use in combustion control systems and environmental monitoring. RICH MNISI is a contemporary, multi-disciplinary brand based in Johannesburg, South Africa, founded by Rich Mnisi in 2015. Initially a creative outlet for Mnisi, who hoped to unearth Africa’s hidden treasures and pass them through his uniquely modern lens, the brand was born from his yearning to build a deeper connection with his Tsonga culture and heritage and tell a compelling story through his art. From vibrant bandanas to sleek durags, our selection spans a rainbow of colors and trends. Our classic WaveBuilder durag is made of breathable, cool and comfortable fabric. It is cut to the perfect size for a tight, smooth and great looking fit. All seams are sewn with a high stitch count to ensure durability. I also understand why they're such a recognizable object of personal style. Admittedly, I used to have a different durag to match every outfit (I have the family photos prove it). They have an ever-evolving influence and a legacy that is being handed down to newer generations. There are now festivals dedicated to them, with hundreds gathering in appreciation of the durag. There have been subtle, and not so subtle interpretations on the runway (they were the talk of F/W 14 Rick Owens show). However, durag pulling it off takes a swagger that can't be borrowed. Solange Knowles effortlessly wore a halo adorned durag to the 2018 Met Gala.
