A non-slip head gear and a retainer employing the same, the head gear being characterized by a cap means having a hook strip on its interior surface with its tiny hooks protruding interiorly for engagement with the hair of the wearer and having an exterior strip of pile strap with its loops protruding exteriorly for receiving mating hook strips that are connected with other elements such as a retainer body. The retainer body is characterized by net material that is elastic along the fiber of the net and is even more elastic along the bias of the fiber for conforming to irregular contours. Also disclosed are preferred embodiments in which the exterior strips of pile strap are extensive enough to allow attachment of a wide variety of hook strip configurations; wherein a plurality of hook strips are fixedly disposed at predetermined locations for a predetermined hook strip configuration; and wherein neck straps are attached to the retainer body for tensioning it rearwardly toward the rear of the neck, the neck straps having mating hook strips and pile straps on their respective free ends.
