Multilayered hair wrap

Abstract

A multilayered hair wrap and related methods. In one embodiment, the multilayered hair wrap comprises a hydrophobic shell portion substantially defining an outer surface of the multilayered hair wrap, and an absorbent liner portion secured to the hydrophobic shell portion, the absorbent liner portion substantially defining an inner surface of the multilayered hair wrap.

1 . A multilayered hair wrap comprising:
 a hydrophobic shell portion substantially defining an outer surface of the multilayered hair wrap; and   an absorbent liner portion secured to the hydrophobic shell portion, the absorbent liner portion substantially defining an inner surface of the multilayered hair wrap.   
     
     
         2 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein a lower edge portion of the inner surface of the multilayered hair wrap is defined by the shell portion, the lower edge portion defining a hydrophobic lower edge of the multilayered hair wrap. 
     
     
         3 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the multilayered hair wrap comprises a basket portion configured to receive a wearer's head, and a tail portion extending from the basket portion and configured to receive a portion of the wearer's hair. 
     
     
         4 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a button secured to the basket portion via a shank; and   an elasticized loop secured to the tail portion and configured to be secured to the button and the shank for securing the tail portion to the basket portion.   
     
     
         5 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 3 , wherein an end of the tail portion opposite the basket portion terminates in a vertical edge. 
     
     
         6 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 5 , wherein a height of the vertical edge is at least 5 percent of a maximum height of the basket portion. 
     
     
         7 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion has a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least approximately 15,000 g/m 2 /day. 
     
     
         8 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion has a water column test rating of at least approximate 15,000 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion comprises exothermic fabric. 
     
     
         10 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the liner portion comprises microfiber. 
     
     
         11 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 10 , wherein the liner portion comprises split strand microfiber. 
     
     
         12 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the shell portion is made of fabric. 
     
     
         13 . The multilayered hair wrap of  claim 11 , wherein the fabric comprises polyester, nylon, and/or spandex. 
     
     
         14 . A method comprising:
 placing a multilayered hair wrap on a wearer such that a basket portion of the multilayered hair wrap is positioned on the wearer's head, and a tail portion of the multilayered hair wrap extends from the basket portion in a backward direction toward a back of the wearer's head;   securing the multilayered hair wrap on the wearer in a front-secured orientation, such that the tail portion is secured to the basket portion proximate a forehead of the wearer, with the wearer's hair substantially contained within the multilayered hair wrap;   removing the multilayered hair wrap;   placing the multilayered hair wrap on a wearer such that the basket portion of the multilayered hair wrap is positioned on the wearer's head, and the tail portion of the multilayered hair wrap extends from the basket portion in a forward direction toward a forehead of the wearer; and   securing the multilayered hair wrap on the wearer in a rear-secured orientation, such that the tail portion is secured to the basket portion proximate the back of the wearer's head, with the wearer's hair substantially contained within the multilayered hair wrap.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the multilayered hair wrap further comprises:
 a hydrophobic shell portion substantially defining an outer surface of the multilayered hair wrap; and   an absorbent liner portion secured to the hydrophobic shell portion, the absorbent liner portion substantially defining an inner surface of the multilayered hair wrap.   
     
     
         16 . A method of  claim 15 , wherein a lower edge portion of the inner surface of the multilayered hair wrap is defined by the shell portion, the lower edge portion defining a hydrophobic lower edge of the multilayered hair wrap. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the securing the multilayered hair wrap on the wearer in the front-secured orientation comprises securing a loop secured to the tail portion to a button secured to the basket portion. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein an end of the tail portion opposite the basket portion terminates in a vertical edge. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein a height of the vertical edge is at least 5 percent of a maximum height of the basket portion. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion has a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least approximately 15,000 g/m 2 /day. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion has a water column test rating of at least approximate 15,000 mm. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the hydrophobic shell portion comprises exothermic fabric. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the liner portion comprises split strand microfiber.
