Hair protection garments

Abstract

A hair protection system includes a headwear device, and in some embodiments, a mask device. The headwear device includes a head covering portion and a hair covering portion having a hair sleeve for holding head hair of a wearer therein. The mask device includes a face mask and a facial hair covering portion for at least partially covering facial hair of the wearer. When worn, the hair protection system protects the wearer from bugs, dust, wind, snow rain, sun, etc. Thus, the hair protection system can be used in lieu of an umbrella. In some embodiments, the mask device and the headwear device may be provided as matching parts of a kit.
