Abstract

A hair sleeve includes a cap portion and a sleeve portion integrally formed with the cap portion. The cap portion includes a fastening band and an elastic member for securing the hair sleeve on the head of a person. The fastening band includes separate first and second portions defining a hook and loop fastener for adjusting the hair sleeve on the head of the person. The elastic member extends along only a portion of the periphery of the cap portion and is positioned opposite the fastening band so that an opening is defined between the fastening band and the elastic member. The hair sleeve may be made of a material selected from acetate, rayon, nylon, and silk, and may be formed with a satin weave that defines a matte surface on the exterior of the hair sleeve and a non-abrasive surface of the interior of the hair sleeve.
