I have a Texas Lone Star dorag, one Marines, and another something. Think I paid around $5 each. Good for keeping plankton out of your hair and the after dive wind off of it - or covering a bald head, but I still always have a duckbill cap or floppy hat to wear on the boat. Still seems funny to this old farmboy that city people go outside bareheaded - especially on a dive boat. :11:

Mmmm.... pancakes.
 
Cressi-sub makes two beanies for diving, one lycra and the other polyester. Pinnacle makes a very light beany type cap, with a velcro chin strap. The Cressi beanies have to be secured by the mask strap. Tucking them under the mask itself may cause a leak. They are best used for long periods of snorkeling, or stored in a pocket and pulled on when you surface after scuba. Leisurepro sells all three, as do other large operations. Henderson makes a nice microprene hood that is super thin and stretchy. There are also lycra full hoods available.

Cloth Bandannas are not made for water use, and don't really do the job. A swimmer's cap made of light material, or the Henderson are probably best for what you want. I carry a polyester Cressi beany in my bc, and use it if i'm going to be floating around for a while in the hot tropic sun after a dive. They fit easily, are well made, are effective for the purpose you intend. About $10.
 
Why would you want to look like an Aunt Jemima Syrup bottle?:mooner:

What would be wrong with that? A bright doo-rag = a bit of individual flavor. Ohh, I get it now. It's syrup, not kool-aid. :mooner:
