Skull-cap/clip-retainer combination

A method of retaining a skull cap on a wearer's head comprising the steps of:

• providing a skull cap including a main shell defining an interior surface in an interior thereof and a peripheral outer edge, said skull cap having a shape such that it fits on the wearer's head, the wearer's head being in the interior thereof, with a portion of said interior surface lying on the wearer's head, said skull cap further comprising a clip-retainer pocket attached to the interior surface, said clip-retainer pocket having a wall defining a pocket cavity with a mouth directed substantially toward said peripheral outer edge;
• placing said skull cap on a wearer's head;
• providing an elongated spring clip retainer having first and second legs coupled together, which in an open stable attitude of the clip retainer are substantially spread apart but which in a closed stable attitude thereof are relatively closer together, said clip retainer being of a size and shape such that at least the first leg thereof fits into said clip-retainer pocket cavity through the mouth thereof
• sliding said clip into the interior of said main shell from said peripheral outer edge thereof into said pocket cavity while simultaneously engaging hair on the wearer's head between said first and second legs for thereby anchoring the skull cap to the wearer's head with said hair, wherein during said step of sliding said elongated clip retainer into the interior of said main shell, said clip retainer is in said open stable attitude and the first leg is slid into said clip-retainer pocket;
• and
• once said clip retainer is inserted into said pocket cavity, moving the clip retainer into said closed stable attitude of the clip retainer to thereby clamp wearer's hair and the wall of the clip-retainer pocket between the first and second legs thereof.
