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?

… 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!
Look at this awesome article written in the Jewish Chronicle in the UK! Our very own Wrapunzel lady, Judy Silkoff, wrote it! Yay… love it!
Naomi Rose has created an awesome twist on the “Yael” wrap! In it, she uses two scarves instead of one, which highlights the angles and twist more than if you’re using just once scarf. LOVE IT!!!
Here’s the tutorial:
And here I am, trying it out with two 2 in 1s! LOVE IT!!!
Enjoy! Can’t wait to see what you ladies come up with for this one!
This is sooo cool! Many of you have the Wrapunzel Classic Shaper and the Wrapunzel Signature Shaper already… and little did you know that together they create and INCREDIBLE huge shaper that will not slip! Love this!
Zahava is one of the women that makes the Wrapunzel Fangroup so wonderful. Her gentle smile, inspiring stories, beautiful style, and encouraging words are something that many of us look forward to every day. We even named the Empress Circlet after her! A few weeks ago she posted a new style; “Tichel Chignon” she called it. Many of us tried to figure out how she did it and couldn’t get it! So I just had to invite her over to make a tutorial together. We got to spend a little time getting to know each other as well. Beyond her quiet demeanor, Zahava is a proud mother of 11 children, and grandmother of over 20 (and counting, Gd willing!) She just returned from a trip to Israel that her kids surprised her and her husband with for their anniversary. Let’s all bask in her infectious glow, and learn how to tie the “Zahava’s Gold Chignon” together.

Well, today was another boiling hot, humid day! Since it was Shabbat, there was lots of walking to be done (no driving!) so I had to dress for the weather! I like to wear white anyway on Shabbat because it’s a super meaningful thing for my family (here is a bit about it) and today was extra perfect for this. I wore a white Pashmina and Empress Circlet on my head, a colorful summer tunic, and white cotton skirt – loved it! My skin was protected from the sun and the clothing wasn’t constricting so I was really as cool as could be. It’s funny, as soon as I got home and took my tichel off, I was immediately hotter than when I had it on! That was a very big realization for me.
And here is my smiling face 🙂 It’s been a long day, but we had an inspiring Shabbat and I can’t wait for this week! Shavua tov, world!
Love, Andrea
It’s hottttttt outside… like, 33 degrees Celcius and humid sort of hot! This morning I took one look at my tichel collection and felt an intense calling coming from my signature scarf – I haven’t worn it in over a month! How did that happen?
I did a Yael wrap and WOWZA!! I just fell in love with this tichel allll over again!
Can you see the intense burn on my upper forehead? That’s from Sunday when I was silly and stayed out in the sun during our community kid’s orchestra concert. Learn from my mistakes y’all… tichel sunburns are NOT attractive!
I hope this inspires all of you to whip out your Wrapunzel Signature Scarves… seriously, I completely forgot how awesome it is! I have a feeling it may end up on my head again tomorrow 😛
Love, Andrea
Ever despaired of deciding which tichels to throw into your suitcase? I’m in beautiful Israel right now, and I think I’ve finally perfected my packing strategy. Here are my favorite tips for your next trip!
Here’s a recent travel-selfie: a wrap using a sari sash and a purple 2-in-1 from yesterday in Jerusalem!
1. Don’t forget your “undergarments.” This one’s first, because you’ll want to check and DOUBLE check that you didn’t forget your no-slip velvet headband or tichel shaper! Even if you forgot to pack ANY scarves, you can buy one almost anywhere – but your essential tichel underwear is hard to replace!
2. Lay out the clothes you’re bringing as you choose tichels. It’s easier to see what’s going to work if everything you’re bringing is in front of you.
3. Use a formula (loosely): Two parts basic solid colors, one part fancy/patterned tichels, two parts accessories. 2:1:2. It’s a ratio. The first category is solid colors that match your wardrobe. The second is either special-occasion tichels (whatever that means for you – one woman’s basics are another’s night-out scarves!), or scarves with a pattern. And the third is any kind of accessory – pins, sashes, headbands, you name it.
So how do you use it? Let’s say you’re going for a long weekend, and you want a decent (but not huge) amount of scarves – you’d probably want to double the ratio, so you’d pack 4 solids, 2 fancy or patterned scarves, and 4 accessories.
This is just a guideline – don’t get too rigid about it! I don’t adhere to it 100% but these are the general proportions whenever I pack. The ratio approach saves me from silly decisions like packing 20 of my “faaaaavorite” sari scarves/patterned scarves and getting stuck because I forgot the basic colors.
How many times should you multiply the ratio? Probably x2 for a long weekend, x3 for a week, and x4 for long trip. I’m in Israel now for two months, and my ratio is about x3.5.
This balcony is just great for tichel pictures!
4. Don’t pack anything that doesn’t match at least 3 other things. ‘Things’ can mean other scarves, or pieces of clothing you’re bringing – but if it doesn’t look great next to 3 other things you’ve packed, no matter how much you love it, don’t bring it along. With this approach, you’ll be able to get a lot of different looks with a minimum of scarves! (A possible exception here might be if you’re going to a wedding or special event and have a tichel that matches your formal dress and nothing else- that would definitely be fine.)
5. Remember the weather!!! Leave your pashminas at home when traveling to hot climates, and pack extra-warm scarves for snowy situations.
And one from today. I got so many compliments on this! It’s a Liezl with two 2-in-1s and a lace sash.
What are YOUR favorite traveling tichel tips??? Share them below in the comments – we’d love to hear!
It is such a common question… and I don’t blame people for wondering when they see me in my long skirts, high neckline and sleeves. How am I not roasting in the heat? As someone that lived through four summers in Israel, I’ve learned quite a few things about dressing for hot weather. Here is why I am not boiling under the sun, and why I actually may be cooler than someone wearing a fraction of the clothing:
Also, “What is that scarf on your head?”
It’s this one – called the Watercolor Dream – I’m in love!
You know, it’s funny, I sometimes get so focused on coming up with new and exciting wraps that I forget to wear the colors and styles that are really ‘me’. As much fun as it is to invent new things, it is wonderful to fall back on a wrap that is truly classic and perfectly suited to the woman that I hope to be. Do you ever have experiences like this? For me it felt like stepping back into a warm bath; I just felt so natural and comfortable in my skin.
I wore this to the Chabad Gala tonight and just felt so at home, even though I was the only one there in a tichel. (Actually that may not be true, I think I may have glimpsed one other lady in a scarf, but am not sure.) And no sillies, I can’t afford to go to something like that as an actual guest! I was there playing the cello, hence the mostly black outfit 🙂
Anyway, I digress! This is what I find works best for me style-wise:
– Royal colors
– A bit of bing, but nothing too flashy
– Lots of volume, but not near my face. I like volume at the back of my head, in a nice and round halo shape
– Hanging tails, but not too long
– Layers, but not with extreme angles
So… what do you think? What styles work best for YOU? Are you a refined one scarf woman? Do you shine most with bright colors and fun patterns? Do angles and contrast work best for you? Or do sophisticated appliques an sparkles make you the most beautiful? What about volume? High, low, round, tall, big, small, or nada? Can’t wait to hear your responses!
Love, Andrea
We just got featured in the OU! This is a BIG deal, ladies! And some of you from the last article were quoted! Woohoo!
