This one is super easy, and only requires one square scarf (no volumizer or any add-ons). It is much lighter than the usual wraps I wear, and I find that it’s making me happy every time I pass a reflective surface! Will definitely be experimenting with similar styles over the next few days.
It has been requested that a gallery be made available of all the daily post wraps. Here it is, saving you from scrolling! This “Wrapunzel Gallery” much like the pink header up above, but instead showcases ALL the wraps featured on the site so far. Some of these photos were taken before Wrapunzel existed, when hair wrapping was just a small section of my other website, but the majority of them were featured as daily posts. This gallery is for you to save, pin, print, share with friends, etc. Think of it as a comprehensive scarf tying database and use it for inspiration!
Click on the photos to see them in full size and go through the gallery! If you have questions about a specific wrap, leave a comment on the actual photo by clicking on it 😀
I haven’t posted for the last couple of days because… my brother got engaged!! Mazal tov! My husband and I are so happy to be getting an incredible little sister, who also will definitely be a future Lady Wrap Star. Here is the wrap that I wore to celebrate with them:
I like this gold scarf so much that I decided to wear it for Shabbat too! To fancy it up even more, I added this green layering scarf. The result was simple, yet beautiful.
This tie is so simple, yet the shimmery gold scarf gives it a “wow” status. This is a perfect wrap to compliment busier (hard to match) outfits, and is time and skill friendly. Go for Gold!
I can’t even tell you how many compliments and smiles I got just by wearing this bright flower on a sunny day. Yay for making people happy! Others seemed to think that this was a very complicated wrap, but really, it’s only a regal wrap with the stretchy flower headband added in. Will definitely be doing this style more often!
I bike to work pretty much every day. Usually I wear a thin scarf/pretied underneath my helmet and arrive early so I can wrap my headscarf in the bathroom… however, I wanted to create a tie that looks nice as soon as one takes the helmet off. Here it my first solution! I tied a square scarf in triangle style. but I let the tucked in end hang down a little more than usual, allowing my ponytail to be low and creating a “snood”-like look. It definitely worked well under the helmet. What do you think? Are there any other cyclists on here?
Hello, world of Wrapunzel! I’m Nava – I am a graphic artist by day, and a musician by night. This is actually how I met Andrea a few years ago, and we have been great friends ever since. A few years after meeting Andrea, I was fortunate enough to meet my wonderful husband, Jonathan, and we have now been married for just over one year.
My husband and I identify with a community where not all of the married women cover their hair every day, and this is what I have chosen to do because this is what usually makes me feel most comfortable . I always cover my hair on shabbat, chagim (Jewish holidays), and at Jewish events (such as weddings, bar mitzvas, bris’s, etc). I cover my hair at these events because I feel it is important for me to send a open signal to the community that I am a married woman, and it makes me feel more comfortable when I know I am making this clear (eg. not every guy does the finger check). I also feel that by covering my hair, I am acknowledging the religious importance of the event and am making an extra outward effort to show respect for that fact (rather than an inward effort) – just like I make an effort to wear nice clothing on shabbat and chagim to make these days special, I also want to cover my hair in beautiful ways for the exact same reason. As well as being a sign that I am married and devoted to my wonderful husband, covering my hair also gives me a way of portraying a membership to my community that I also love very much and am most grateful to have in our lives.
I have always loved scarves and have been building up a collection for years. Before I was married, I always wore these scarves around my neck, but now that I am married, this is what I use to cover my hair!
I love all of the different ties and combinations you can do – I really love mixing colours and textures, and using different accessories. Every dollar store or used clothing store trip is a treasure hunt for new accessories or scarves to add to my collection! I also love incorporating braids into my ties, I find them so wonderfully regal-looking. And since I was never really able to make beautiful braids in my own hair (since it is so curly and knotty), I enjoy having the chance to make braids in my tichels (headscarves)!
My dear friend, Judith, from Judith de Paris, sent me a volumizer to try out and give my feedback. It is a long, stuffed, velvet tube, that you wrap around your bun like a snake. I was quite intrigued, and the results were certainly interesting! The snake didn’t create that uniform, round volumizer look that I’m used to, and it created a LOT of volume! For me, it almost felt like too much, but I’m sure it’s a look that I will want once in a while. The snake also took a while to wrap, which was more time-consuming and requiring or wrapping skills than the regular volumizer that you just slip on.
The first time I wore it was over Shabbat day. These photos were taken late in the evening, and the wrap stayed put for the whole day! I found this surprising because it really looked like there was a lot of weight at the back of my head, but it did not budge! I even took a two hour nap during the day! I wore the snake with my bun a little lower than usual, so the volume was lower down. What do you think?
The second time I wore it was yesterday, and I wore my bun a little higher. I really liked the effect that was created, but again, it was much more volume than I am used to. Do you think there is such a thing as too much volume? Do you have any suggestions for ways to wear such a large volumizer? Share your thoughts in the comments section!
Yes, I spell “favourite” with a “U”; I’m Canadian, eh!
I was recently inspired by this video and wanted to try the wrap. I was all ready to use my new sparkly brown scarf for it, but when I attempted the tie, I found the ends were much too long and heavy for it to work. So, I made an adjustment and wrapped the longer end around my head once again (with a slight twist) and tucked it under the knot once I had brought it around. Sounds complicated? It’s not. Let me know if you would like a tutorial!
I finished off the look with a beautiful pin and was ready to face the day. I got many more comments about my wrap than I am used to… so I consider this one a success!
This silk flowered scarf is a little shorter and not as wide as I would like. Solution: layer it with a wider scarf and create a cute “bow” with the ends!
This colour combination makes me happy! It was done with the over/under wrap technique. Hope you’re all having a lovely day and happy wrapping!
I really wanted to wear my mustard yellow cardigan and couldn’t figure out a head covering to match! So then I figured, why match? Therefore I paired it with a teal/black/blue scarf and wore it with a teal shell and black skirt. And of course my beautiful tichel tiara. Awesome!
A “Rebbetzin” is the word most commonly associated with an Ashkenaz, female Jewish mentor (usually she is married to a Rabbi). In Sephardic circles, it’s “Rabbanit” (and the man is a Rav).
Anyway, this is the tie that my Rebbetzin wears, and every time I tie my scarf this way, I think of her because she wears it so beautifully. It perfectly shows her artistic side, and lets her soul shine so brightly. It’s also easy and not intimidating… perfect for giving wisdom and clarity to others!
