Bandanas are large, usually square cloths wrapped around the head or neck for both aesthetic and protective purposes. They typically come in brightly-colored paisley patterns, but they are also available in plain and printed styles. Most bandanas are made of cotton or cotton-and-polyester mix and have hemmed edges.
The word ‘bandana’ comes from the Hindi word bandhana, which means “to tie.”
Size: Choose an extra wide bandana (about 27 inches) if you want to use it as a head wrap or neck wrap for protection from smoke, fumes, or dust.
Color associations: Choose a bandana in a “safe” color. Certain bandana colors are associated with specific groups of people, and wearing a bandana in an unknown area may put you in danger. Red or blue bandanas, for example, are often associated with certain gangs in Los Angeles, California.
