A head bandana is a versatile piece of cloth, typically square or triangular in shape, worn around the head for both practical and fashionable purposes. Made from lightweight materials like cotton, silk, or polyester, bandanas come in various colors, patterns, and designs, with classic paisley prints being the most iconic.

Head bandana are popular for their ability to keep hair in place, absorb sweat, and provide sun protection. They are commonly worn by athletes, bikers, outdoor workers, or as a stylish accessory in casual and streetwear fashion. Whether tied around the forehead, covering the hair entirely, or styled as a head wrap, a bandana adds a distinctive flair while serving functional needs. Its cultural significance also varies, with roots in traditional attire, music subcultures, and even symbolic movements.
