Dragtowel
Ay, what'd ye do without it? Always works, it be quick, it be simple, what more'd ye wish fer?
Dragtowel, also spelled drag-towel, is a men's hairstyle originating from a workhouse in Penchester.
History
Invented by accident by an anonymous individual who was late to work after having bathed, he dragged a towel over his head in a firm manner from front to back.
The resulting hairstyle resembled a classical comb-back, and the starch, used to keep suits and the like pressed, that had mysteriously made its way onto the towel, held the style in place, giving a more voluminous, albeit slightly dust, look. Upon arriving at work his coworkers were surprised by the efficiency of this method and soon began emulating it, simply naming it 'drag-towel' in accordance with the method used to acquire it.

Cultural Reception
Although young citizens find the style attractive due to it's slightly chaotic appearance, many members of higher society view it 'despicable', 'unruly' and 'idle'.
