Bret Michaels considers his bandana his “super power” and a key part of his identity, stating, “It’s my own feeling of identity. Somehow I became ‘Bandana Man’.”
Michaels developed a patented diamond fold technique for bandanas through trial and error, offering it to fans for free, saying, “I finally figured out the diamond technique that’ll adjust to any head size.”

Michaels famously kept his bandana on during a hospital visit for a brain hemorrhage, likening it to Superman’s cape, saying, “If I’m going out, I wanna go out rocking.”
Michaels revealed in a 2013 interview that he owns at least a thousand different bandanas, showcasing his extensive collection of the headgear.
