This is an old school STOCKING CAP [SEP] This is a STOCKING CAP.  Like the ones I made using my mother's ripped pantyhose--using a less sheer stocking.  I bought two--one for home and one for the gym.  I use these when showering.  I like to keep my dreads up on top of my head when showering.  This worked for the first week then it really stretched out and the head band is stretched--won't stay on my head much less keep my dreads up.  I trashed this and ordered the DreadSock from www.dreadsockonline.com.  You definitely pay more for the DreadSock but it keeps my locs TIGHT on top of my head when showering and the head band is super stable.
