Yesterday’s New Tie – Take 2!

Many of you have asked for a tutorial on how to do yesterday’s tie – I will make it happen!  However, before doing so, I need to wear the style a few more times before I can claim to be expert enough to make a tutorial.  Here is the same tie, but with a silkier scarf… looks pretty good and is holding up well!

Easy Summer Style

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.

Wrapunzel Gallery

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 😀

Flower Power

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!

The Cyclists Solution #1

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?

Too Much Volume: Is There Such a Thing?

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!

My new favourite!

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!

The Rebbetzin

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!
