The headwear is dimensioned and adapted to be worn on the head of a human wearer, wherein the headwear has a tail portion and a band portion, each providing detachable first fasteners. The tail portion is near the rear neck of the wearer, while the band portion extends around the front of the head, providing the detachable first fasteners near each ear of the wearer, and wherein the band portion provides distal portions for tying together so as to further secure the headwear to the wearer. The hair sheath(s) may be removably attached to the tail portion in the ponytail configuration or to the band portions providing the pigtail configuration.

A ball cap with a concealed opening that allows for a greater variety of hairstyles to be worn while simultaneously retaining the general shape, appearance, and functionality of a typical ball cap.

The ball cap can include a protective coating on the sweatband to prevent makeup, sweat, and dirt from soiling the sweatband.

Some embodiments advantageously provide a head cover to be worn by a wearer.

A cap including at least a first and a second rear panel, wherein each of the first and second rear panels are removably affixable to each other and wherein each of said first and second rear panels includes a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side and a fifth side.

A head cover that can be worn by health care professionals is provided. The head cover includes a surgical cap portion and a bouffant cap portion. The surgical cap portion includes a top surface and a side panel secured to the top surface via a seam. Further, the bouffant cap portion is secured to a rear portion of the side panel, where the bouffant cap portion is maintained against the rear portion of the side panel in an undeployed state and is deployable from the rear portion of the side panel to contain a wearer's hair. As such, the head cover enables a wearer to secure his or her hair inside the bouffant cap as needed, yet bouffant cap portion does not cover the wearer's entire head, which minimizes the amount of heat that is trapped within the head cover and increases the level of comfort for the wearer.

A ball cap accommodates long hair, including pigtail hairstyles, comprises a head covering portion formed from a front panel and one or more side panels. At least one side panel includes an opening slit having edges that are adapted to avoid catching the hair via finished edges. Each slit is sized to accept hair passed there through.

This embodiment gives baseball hats a custom feel. The embodiment has an opening from the button down the back panels. The opening is fastened up either looking like a ladder with the ladder design or like shoelaces with the crisscross design. This embodiment fills the need for flexibility in ponytail heights unlike the other baseball hats that have fixed ponytail positions. This embodiment will create a variety of ponytail height locations along with a size adjustable advantage from the stretchy material used in the lacing. The user will be able to choose a ponytail height for that given day, an advantage that popular baseball hats do not provide. The legal scope should not be limited to the forms shown.

The brim has a slit in the rear where the excess fabric of the tubular top can pass through and be held in place. Likewise, the visor has a elastic fabric tab attached to hold excess fabric from the top in place. The pliable brims, visors and tubular top make the headwear easy to pack and fit into pockets and compact bags without compromising the hat's shape and integrity.
