Since Penina Taylor made her first video for Wrapunzel, we’ve been getting requests to hear more from her! She’s had lots going on in her life, with her son’s wedding, a recent move and her regular teaching/speaking gigs, but was able to make the time to share some beautiful thoughts with us about the boxes people make for us and the boxes we put ourselves in. Listen, dig deep, and love yourself and everyone you meet for the WHOLE multifaceted people that we all are! Enjoy!
I’m loving wearing the double braid lately with a little extra addition… a sash, a patterned headband. Just adds an extra something to an already gorgeous wrap!
Here I am on the subway a month ago (in NYC… wow do I ever miss a good transit system here in Baltimore!) pairing it with a golden tan lace sash:
And here I am rocking it with a Damask Headband… these three colors were just laying on my bed together and I was like, “Wow! Gotta try this!” I would have never put these three colors together on my own, so am somewhat grateful for being a little disorganized lately!
All the scarves I’m wearing are 2 in 1s… they are, as always, just so perfect for styles like this – especially in the summer!
Enjoy and happy wrapping!
Love, Andrea xo
This tutorial is a bit bittersweet… it’s the same technique that I did wayyyyy back before Wrapunzel even existed (yup, I was making tichel videos on andreagrinberg.com, then created Wrapuzel the blog… and only after that did a store emerge – time flies when you’re having fun!) Anyway, back then I didn’t have a velvet headband or shaper, and was too shy to talk to the camera so I just had gorgeous classical music playing – check it out! Awwww nostalgia ❤
So here is the newer version of this old classic – how to do a gorgeous single braid!
On the Wrapunzel Fangroup, we’re grateful to see so many women rocking various tichel styles. There have been some great ideas about what to do with sashes on there, so here is a video of my playing around with these ideas from Gwen, Naomi Rose, and Heather! Enjoy!
I rarely wear pastels… but Shabbat always inspires me to wear light colors to help get in touch with my elevated self. I truly felt like a queen in this ensemble. We had an super special group of people at our table on Friday night… who weren’t afraid to be intense and deep – very inspirational!
I’m wearing a sky blue 2 in 1, and a white shiny-licious, with a vintage beauty headband 🙂
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead! This is the hardest week on the Jewish calendar, but it holds the potential for a type of connection that we cannot experience during the rest of the year. May we all use this difficult time to grow closer to our creator and ourselves.
Love, Andrea
This girl is is a turban wizardess!! Check it out! And yeah, we totally listened to you and asked her to make more tutorials for Wrapunzel… this isn’t the last you’ve heard from Rachel!
My husband took this photo of me with Shalomy yesterday and I thought it would make you smile! It’s a bit blurry, but definitely a keeper! PS – I’m finding baby wrapping much more difficult than hair wrapping… still getting the hang of it!
Wow – thanks for all the requests ladies! I hope you enjoy this one! It’s so simple and can be done with any long scarf with a lace triangle… and doesn’t require a shaper! Woohoo!
In this tutorial, I’m using a white lovely lace and a turquoise 2 in 1 🙂
I came up with this awesome wrap right before Shabbat and loved it so much that I wore it the next day. It’s a perfect princess-y wrap that is great for the summer weather. And you don’t need any volume at the back to do it! I love how it’s casual and fancy at the same time… definitely a go-to for me! It’s a pretty easy wrap to do, but let me know if you want a tutorial! I love how the first scarf hangs down the back, peeking through the Lovely Lace!
This was Friday night!
And this was Shabbat day (Saturday)!
Here’s how:
Ooooo just so perfect for summer! Love it! Let me know what you think!
Meet Zehava C., at bonafide Wrapunzelista! We love with her wraps and always wondered how she organized her tichels. Well… here it is – WOW! This is basically every Wrapunzel woman’s fantasy land! Thank you Zehava for the fantastic storage inspiration!
Wow! Who else wants to take a shopping trip in Zehava’s closet? (*raises hand!)
Check out this new ‘twist’ on The DB (double braid!) It’s so easy and loved how the colors blended together with the twisting technique! And for those that don’t braid on Shabbat, this is a great solution!
I wore this to a family reunion so these are a few cropped photos of how it looked on me! Wearing three 2 in 1s in turquoise, brown, and teal 🙂
What colors do you think YOU will try this with? Can’t wait to see your gorgeous blended combos!
We love this idea!! Try having your husband wrap a tichel on himself! Hilarity will ensue 🙂
Instructions:
– No practicing beforehand!
– Have your do his best to wrap a tichel on himself
– You can instruct him, but you cannot touch his work
– HAVE FUN!!!
– And let us know how it goes!
– Post on your wall and tag #wrapunzelhusbandchallenge or share it on the fangroup!
(Or you can email us about how it went or if you take a video, send a dropbox (or similar) file to wrapunzelthestore@gmail.com – if we get enough submissions we’ll make a mashup video as well as a post!)
I’ve known Rachel for a while now, and had the immense pleasure of meeting her in person at the Wrapunzel Cleveland Show! She has recently made some really wonderful tutorials… variations on classics and also her own super cool turbans that don’t require any volume at the back! Check them out! I see a future Wrapunzel tutorial maker, don’t you?
How to fake an extra long Israeli Tichel:
Rachel’s Turban (no volume needed!)
Rachel’s Turban #2 (also no volume needed!)

… and for those of you wondering: YES, we are working on getting 100% Jersey scarves at Wrapunzel. Get excited!
Good morning to you all! Thought I’d switch it up and post a goofy photo of my tichel today. I’m wearing my Watercolor Dream (seriously, am I ever gonna get tired of this tichel?) wrapped up in a Yael ‘do. I love how you can really see the wrap with this scarf… definitely gonna do this again!
Hope you’re all having a wonderful day! Sending lots of love, hugs, and giggles! ❤
Before Shabbat came in, my husband said, “I love your outfit! Don’t move!” And then he snapped this picture. I loved how the Watercolor Dream looked with the light teal Shimmery… and the lace shirt and lace skirt. I felt so myself in this!
And on Sunday, I was inspired by another Wrapunzel lady to wear my signature skirt as a dress! So much fun!
And here is my tichel… I would have never put these colors together until I saw the skirt!
Sending love to you all! Enjoy enjoy the beauty that surrounds us!
