Hi! My name is Andrea Grinberg and I am the Owner and Founder of Wrapunzel. Welcome!
Here is how this site came to be and what we’re all about:
Originally, on my other website andreagrinberg.com, there was a “hair wrapping how-to” section. This section was started because some (very persistent!) friends were encouraging me to share how I wrap my scarves. Within a year, it became much too large to remain a section on another site, and the need to create a blog devoted to *just* hair wrapping became a reality. Here it is!
On the “home” page, you will mostly find daily posts showing what I’m wearing on my head. If you want to find tutorials etc., take a look through the top bar. There are also “Lady Wrap Star” posts in which a member of this site showcase their beautiful hair wrapping ideas, and these are also available on the top bar. Looking for something but can’t find it? Ask! We will either help you find what you’re looking for or create it if it’s not already here.
The name “Wrapunzel” was the final result of a night spent brainstorming with my family around the fireplace in winter 2012. It was the first time in a long time that all of us were together in the same place, and when I shared my idea of creating a site devoted to a community of women who all cover their hair, they were eager to help find the perfect name.
The site administrative duties are up to me, but really, the community that thrives in this little pocket of the internet is only here because of you. Here, there are women that cover their hair for many reasons – different religions, health, personal modesty, and creative fashion are only some of the ways that women have started wrapping and found this site. If you are new, we would love to meet you! It brings me so much joy to see new relationships being formed on here!
To the women that have shared their stories and inspired us to try new ways of covering – you rock! And if you are interested in showing some of your wraps or sharing a bit about yourself (or both), let me know!
Who am I? I am an incredibly blessed single mom of two amazing boys. For many years, while married, I chose to cover my hair because I am Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism, married women cover their hair. Currently, I cover my hair when amazing opportunities move me to do so. I play the cello professionally, and do a lot of performing as well as teaching. I enjoy adventurous cooking and feeding others, bicycling, philosophy, and curling up along with good book and our kitty. I am Canadian by birth, and a citizen of both the US and Israel, currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. I love meeting new people, hearing other’s stories, making connections and building bridges; It is mind-boggling how much covering my hair has helped me do this!
That’s enough about me… let’s hear about you!

I just discovered this blog yesterday and read about the amazing strong women who wrap for all sorts of reasons and I am obsessed! I wear hair wraps sometimes and love playing with scarves and silk hair caps (I wear a silk hair cap to bed each night and it has done wonders for my hair and comfort while sleeping!) I feel confident and beautiful when out but still feel a little nervous about the prospect of wrapping my hair at work (I work in construction and I worry about how people may perceive it in this industry) but maybe I will gain the confidence soon to give it a go! I am so keen to build up my collection of scarves and try some new styles you have here. Thanks for being awesome 😊

I’m Beth and I cover for Religious reasons. (Christianity) I have enjoyed your blog and watched many of your videos and am learning to be more creative with hair wrapping. I find it the most comfortable way to cover. I love that you can wrap your hair in such a way and not use pins and clips to get it to stay in place. I did not know how to do this before watching your videos. I also appreciate that the scarves you use are so easily found in most department and clothing stores. I am acquiring quite a collection. Thanks for all the great tutorials and tips.

I found your blog from a friend of mine who covers her hair… I’ve started covering my own hair on occasion, mostly when I’m cooking or cleaning. It helps me to get into a mindset in which whatever task I’m doing is sacred. I am starting to feel like I would like to cover my hair more often, for things other than just in my house. ^-^
I also think that covering one’s hair is amazingly beautiful, and have found an appreciation I never expected for covered hair & also women who choose to cover their faces and/or bodies. This new-found appreciation I have for women who practice covering their hair/faces/bodies seems strange to most people who know me… It’s been interesting (to say the least!) explaining why I choose to cover my hair sometimes, when people ask. ^-^
Long story short (too late…), I’m really happy my friend led me here, and I can’t wait to look around your site a bit more! Thank you for creating this space!

I love this site, I love how it has brought many women from different religions and cultures together in a type of sisterhood. I was raised as a Christian and over the past 2 years I have been worshiping and identify as a Messianic Jew. I never felt so close to G-d or had a stronger relationship with him. At first I started just covering my long hair just in worship at the synagogue. Now I cover my hair more days of the week than not. The only reason I do not cover everyday is I still get head aches from time to time.
I watch a video done by Andrea talking about how pretty she felt covering her hair and I would have never thought I would have felt that way but I do. I feel that covering my hair is in a way brought me closer to G-d.

Shalom! My name is Damaris, l was born in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. At age of 13 my family moved to the states and we lived there til 2011 when my husband and I (with the help of our havenly father the Almighty) moved back to Puerto Rico with our children. I was brought up as a christian and as an adult I discovered my jewish sephardic roots and became a mesianic jew. I started covering my hair only in service days and on Shabbath, but eventually, during my spiritual growth, I took the decision and began covering my hair in full around 6 months ago and it has been the most incredible experience!!! When I began learning of hair covering, at first it shook me, but in that learnig experience, I prayed and told G-d, that if I was going to cover my hair in full I wanted to look beautiful. Not only because I have a husband that was used to a wife that always liked to take care of her hair, but also for my chlidren. I wanted them to look at me, and feel that I did not become religious but a true servant of the most high. After that prayer, I went on the internet and found you on youtube. To me it was an amazing discovery!! Instantly, I fell in love with your style!! Your videos and ideas has helped me find my inner beauty and the true queen that I am. I have found my own style and I have a wide collection of scarf, that my daughter and I share. My husband loves my hair wrapping, and my children as well. I recive a lot of compliments, but also wierd looks!! That doesn’t surprise me at all! Wrapunzel and I have helped the sisters of my congregation to feel and love hair wrapping. We want to obey and do mitzvah, but also feel beautiful and find the true queens that we are and thanks to you, we all have found it!!! Thank you again, for your effort and to be the vessel that G-d has used to get to us!!!! Many bleesing!!

Hi there! I really like your how-to’s. I’m german and live in egypt. I wrap my hair when I go out, but after almost 8 years it’s kind of frustrating, to know only like 2 ways. So your videos are a really good help. I wrap my hair like a bun (cause its about 90cm long), but with the hair inside the scarf and then everything together gets twistet up to a bun and due to the curling it stays where it should be on the back of your head.
Could you post more photos to each video. Not everybody has a fast internet connection able to watch videos. With some extra photos, you can get a first look if you like this style and want to watch the whole video. The best about your videos is das you do not need any clips, pin, needles etc. to hold everything in place.
Could you do a video where you show how to make flowers out of scarfes??
in egypt the hairdresser makes bridal/party wrappings that look like a real flower. They take like a not seen underscarf in beige or so to simply cover the hair, in the middle they put a long colored scarf matching the dress (kike in your videos with a knot in the neck or folding it around your head and secure it with pins), on top a very small colormatching square tulle scarf with lots of glitter in it (almost like fairy dust 🙂 ) and THEN the magic happens, they twist it with some pins and then you have flowers in your scarf. but they keep it as a real secret.
So THIS would be awesome if you can unlock this secret 🙂
oh and these awesome monster buns of these saudi-arab women with like a second head hidden in the scarf 😀

I’m so thankful that I stumbled on this site. My name is Annasarah and last year I started to cover my hair. I felt the strong need to cover my hair by wearing hats,but didn’t fully cover my hair until I was married. My husband was fine with me covering my hair when I asked him, and he said he was, so after then is when I started covering full time. I actually received a lot of negative comments and people started asking if I was muslim( I’m actually UPC). I didn’t realize so many people cover and I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I have come to appreciate other ladies who cover and any negative thoughts that I may have had before are all gone. Covering the hair is another way of modesty and is a great source of empowerment . It’s so nice to see the other comments, and the great wrap styles, I’m so very excited and can’t wait until I get my new scarves that I ordered of your website. Thanks again for letting us all know that we are not alone. Oh and a side note for those who want to start wrapping but whom are afraid…. Go for it. At first I was scared, and in my setting there are not many that agree with my stance, but I did it anyway and I’m glad i did. God bless my beautiful WRAPUNZEL friends.

Thank you so much for your blog, I have always been interested in Religions of all sorts and many require (or request) that women cover their hair (theology and history are a passion of mine). I have always found hair coverings to be beautiful, and being a shy and modest person always wanted to do it and was never brave enough that I could “pull it off.”
After a horrible accident I was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition that causes hair to fall out, and my treatments caused more hair loss. My hair was my only source of confidence since I suffered from a lot of self esteem issues for a long time, and losing it was crippling for me. I started to not want to leave the house, and it was becoming a real issue. Then a friend encouraged me to try wearing a head scarf. I thought hey, can’t be worse than what’s going on now if it doesn’t work! So I went out and bought a scarf and started with the simple twisty bun sort of style. I was HOOKED! I had never felt more confident and secure when leaving the house, and instead of the mockery I expected, I got loads of compliments! Your site has taught me a lot and I know that I will be investing in more and more scarves, and I know more compliments will come.
You have inspired me to try all sorts of new head wrap styles, and I know that they will help keep me feeling beautiful and confident no matter what happens 🙂 Thank you or Toda lach (hope I spelled that right)

First of all, I just want to say thank you for having this amazing website. I recently went on a two week mission trip to Papua New Guinea with my church (Christian – Nazarene), and while there, G-d convicted me that too much of my identity was in my hair. I was blessed to be born with beautiful red hair, and I have always been proud of my red hair, and I identified as a red-head before identifying as a child of G-d. So, as a lesson to me, He told me to buzz my hair. While I have had many hair lengths, from chin to middle of my back, it has always covered my ears. As of five weeks ago, my hair went from shoulder length to about 1/16th of an inch long. Working through this lesson, I felt that a lot of my femininity was taken along with my hair. I was being taught about Identity as a child of the Most High, vanity, and that looks define me a LOT less than I thought they did. But at the same time, I don’t want to look too butch. I am quite the hetero feminine woman, but I didn’t want people to get the wrong idea, especially because only one of my closest female friends identifies as straight (and she lives half way across the USA from me). The other four are queer. I looked at some other tutorials when I got home from PNG, but only now, with the spiritual and emotional care that you put in your videos, and one comment from a children’s pastor today, am I coming to terms with having hair this short. I have not learned as of yet if permanent hair wrapping is what I am called to do, but it is definitely an option that has a certain resonance with me. Thank you for all the support that you give to people through your videos. You have certainly blessed me today.

Hi Andrea. Like many women here, I have been called to begin covering my hair/head. The urge actually started a few years ago when I began Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, which introduced me to the Sikh faith and covering the head…ever since then I have really felt the need to cover, but usually only do it while practicing yoga. I have never felt confident enough to wear a head covering on a daily basis (maybe because I cannot pinpoint an exact reason why I feel compelled to do it). I do not follow any particular religion, and for the last year or so the urge has not been as strong. But I now feel called again to begin covering my hair, for reasons I do not know. I am very grateful to have found your website, and think you have beautiful scarves and head wear and I love your tutorials. I find that I have a hard time with my scarves wanting to fall off, and have just purchased the velvet headband (from your site) to help the scarves stay in place. I sure hope it helps!

This part of our faith (the head covering) is engrained in all the Abrahamic faiths and I am grateful that there is a site that is welcoming to all women that choose to cover, regardless of their religious backgrounds.

Hi Andrea,
Thank you for making and sharing your video tutorials! They have been so helpful and your attitude is so encouraging!
I decided to explore different head coverings at the beginning of this summer. I have a few reasons for doing this, but the biggest is that I wanted another (quick and comfortable) way to get my hair off of my face and out of my way besides a ponytail, braid (something I’m still really struggling to do on my own), or a bandanna. Obviously, the options I’ve been using are very limited, so I looked on YouTube for something different. That’s when I discovered that there are so many beautiful ways to cover your hair with scarves!
Since I’m only just beginning my head covering journey, I’m still learning about the different styles that are out there. So far, I’ve been enjoying your videos of tichel tying (I’m trying the basic ones for now!), and I also found a symmetrical-looking style of hijab that I like. I’ve gotten a few scarves (Noteworthy being my first viscose tichel), and am afraid of the addiction I may have unleashed. (I knew I was in trouble when I decided to get all the other colors available for it – even a color I normally NEVER wear, lol.)
P.S.-I have a question for you, if you see this: do you have any suggestions/advice for styles that work better than others while playing cello? I don’t know if pegs go after scarves, but they sure do love to attack my hair……
Once again, thank you for sharing your wonderful advice and smile with all of us!

After stumbling on the many videos and tutorials produced by Wrapunzel I want to embrace the art of wrapping my head instead of buying a wig.
I now have a wardrobe of scarves and accessories so let’s see how creative I can be. Thanks Andrea and the Wrapunzel Ladies for setting my feet to the path of wrapping.

I enjoy your videos and watched a couple of them are used to cover for religious reasons I choose to put in my hair for my own purposes now a lot of religion say a woman should cover her hair
you’re a Canadian and you live in the United States that even Americans choose to cover their hair
I know that woman as opposed to cover the head but a lot of them now choose to wear wigs personally I don’t understand that I think it’s really good that you’re choosing to Cover your hair
it’s nice that you decided to be coming A Palestine/Israel Citizen
I missed to say I think your headscarf looks very very beautiful where would you get something like that from

I recently found one of your older scarf tutorials and it was great. My questions are… what is the cap thingy called that you capture your hair in before wrapping the Pashmina? And where can I get it. Also, once your have the scarf on, is it cool or too hot in a hot climate. I would love my hair off my neck and out of my way in the hot months but am worried that having a scarf on my head might be too warm. Thank you!

HI Kylie! Thanks for writing. Wrapunzel.com offers a lot of lightweight scarves for warmer climates. Pashmina-type scarves, as a whole, tend to be warmer on the head. The ‘undergarment’ you’re speaking of is a Shaper, and they are available at wrapunzel.com under SHOP, then under ESSENTIALS! Best always!
