My sis-in-law Naomi (remember her as a Lady Wrap Star?) posted this super cool wrapping style she created yesterday, and I just HAD to try it! I wanted an simple around-the-house-doing-work style for today, and this one is as easy as she makes it sound… and guess what – I’m not wearing a shaper/volumizer! Just a scrunchy!
Here are her instructions on how to do it!
Take one long, lightweight rectangle. Tie at the nape of the neck (ends hanging at equal length. Tie a series of 4 single loose knots with the ends. Wrap up and over the bun. Takes two minutes, looks so complicated!!
Just make sure you use a really long scarf so that even after the knots you still have long enough ends to go all the way over the bun and tuck in. For a shorter scarf maybe 3 knots would be better 🙂
Thanks Naomi for the inspiration!! Here is a shot of her wearing it (with a longer scarf so therefore tighter knots and a shaper/volumizer underneath.) See how tiny little “details” change the whole look? Imagine with a sparkly scarf – it could even be formal wear!

I’ve seen this technique as part of a ends-to-the-front turban style, and it didn’t work for me at all. I’m definitely going to have to try it over a bun instead- especially with tight knots, it’s a great detail. I love when people find ways to make techniques work that I’ve seen and not figured out!

Yes! Naomi saw that ends-to-the-front thing which inspired her to do this! (I also tried that other idea and it didn’t work for me either!

I’m in the same boat. The ends-to-the front wraps only work, in my opinion, on women with a few specific face shapes (or who are just really fashion-forward and have a lot of confidence!) I thought putting the ‘action’ back by the bun would make it a more accessible look 🙂

Your scarves are likely too slippery! When I use slippery scarves I always secure it with a pin! But cotton ones are not an issue.

Yep – same here! I’ve tried the front tied stuff and can’t seem to make it work! Maybe one day…

Hi Andrea. I was wondering. Can you post more outfits with your head wraps? You and I have the same style, but I just didn’t know how to put it all together. You REALLY have given me a lot of ideas. I’ve been enjoying getting dressed in the morning. Thank you so much.
