It’s here!!  We’ve spent so much time searching out and designing the perfect one with the Wrapunzel velvet headband sewn in!  Get yours HERE!

And here is the video allll about it!  The behind the scenes story, and how to wear it!

Hello beautiful Wrapunzelution ladies!

You may have noticed that there have been a lot of posts from other Wrapresentative ladies lately and none from me!  Well there is a very good reason for this… I just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy!  This is our first child and he sure is yummy and we’re spending as much time with him as possible.  Thank Gd our wonderful Wrapunzel ladies have stepped in to do blog posts and videos while I’m offline.  Naomi Rose, Tamar Adina and Rachel, you rock!

His name is Shalom Yaakov (Ted Jacob in english) and we are just grateful beyond words.

I am still around, but cherishing this precious time with our baby for a little bit.  I will be back soon!  Thank you all for your beautiful berachot, and wishes.  I wish I could find more adequate words to thank you but… just… every single message means the world.  I love you all very much.

Wishing you all the happiness and blessings in the world ❤

Love, Andrea

Need to conquer the cold or beat the heat? Tamar Adina to the rescue! She’s back – with a great set of tips for ticheling to suit the weather (even when it can’t make up its mind). Enjoy!!!

Dear Wrapunzel,

Spring has sprung the grass is ris –
I wonder where the flowers is?

-Adapted by unknown

Pesach is less than three weeks away. There. I said it. For those of you that are making Pesach, I just gave you full permission to begin the full on panic. Pesach, also known as Chag HaAviv is the first real sign (at least for me!) that warmer weather is imminent.

But… some years the warmer weather is a bit more imminent than other years. I live in a city where we’ve had years where there have been two inches of snow on the first day of Pesach. Did I mention that on that particular Pesach, the 15^th of Nissan fell mid-April? We’ve also had years where it was a “frosty” 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius) in March…and we all prayed that the air conditioners were able to keep up with the demand of having an oven on during a cooking marathon.
So, what’s a girl to do when the weather runs the gamut?

Dress for the weather, of course!

Some of my favorite ways to wrap in cold weather include:

• Wearing a thick pashmina like Popping Bubbles, Woven Vines, or The Cranberry. I combine that with a metal headband like Gold Roses (if I’m in the mood) and that’s it. During the winter, I don’t often wear my sari scarves or my 2-in-1s. I tend to wear only one really thick pashmina during the winter. On warmer cold days (yes, that’s a bit of an oxymoron, but we’ve had -33 and 25 degrees F (-36 and -4 degrees C) here; the later is downright balmy in comparison to the former) I’ll wear my Signature or a solid pashmina with a headband, the occasional silky sash, or lace. Yes, I’ve seen beautiful pictures on the fangroup where Wrapunzel ladies have managed to wrap a signature and a sari, but since I have a larger head and a ridiculous amount of hair I prefer less bulk. I VERY RARELY wrap a solid style pashmina with a second full size scarf.
• Tucking my ears in. I cover my ears during the winter and I’ll keep a pair of earmuffs in my purse for extra protection.
• Wearing a volumizer or at the very least, a cap. It adds an extra layer of warmth against the elements without adding bulk on the side of my head.

 

When the weather is warmer –

• I bring out all of my medium and sheer scarves. In the springtime and fall I use and abuse my Shimmeries, saris, 2-in-1s and NY Brights. Those scarves all tend to go on hiatus during the winter.
• I pack away my pashminas. And I’m not just referring to Popping Bubbles. I know that there are people that will happily wear the Ronit or the Signature year round…but I’m not that girl.
• When the weather is somewhere between 40-75 degrees F (4-24 degrees C), I’ll often wear 2-3 scarves on my head (and frequently with a pin or second accessory.)
• I still wear a volumizer or a cap because I like having a smooth “base” for my scarves.

 

 

 

When the weather is HOT –

• I pack away the volumzier and just wear an oomphtastic scrunchy.
• I ditch the synthetic based scarves. Fabrics made of natural fibers (cotton, linen, and even wool) help beat the heat while man-made materials can lead to a sweat drenching experience. Although 2-in-1s seem like the best option for heat, since those are made of viscose (aka rayon), the Wrapunzel Israeli tichel is actually significantly cooler.
• I don’t wrap my ears.

 

 

But, what do you do when the weather outside…and the weather inside don’t match up? Although it’s annoying, there is sometimes anywhere between a 15 and 80 degree variation between the temperature outside and the thermostat inside. Like all good Midwest girls, I learned from a young age that sometimes you just have to layer. I’ll sometimes throw a second tichel into my diaper bag or briefcase and rewrap at work or after shul before walking a mile to lunch.

Whether or not you are making Pesach, I hope that you are able to take full advantage of the early sunshine!

The lovely Rachel is back with another awesome tutorial!  Wow this woman really knows how to tie her knots!

In the video, she’s doing the wrap with Layers of Love, and in the photo above she’s doing it with a Wrapunzel Signature!

The wrap is similar to the “Waterfall Rescue” tutorial that Naomi Rose did but with only one scarf and a variation… who would have thought that the original “Waterfall Twist“ tie would get so much attention!  Rock it, wrap stars!

When I made the Lovely Lace tutorial yesterday, someone mentioned that it was hard to see how to do the “Loopy” part because my hands were in the way.  So since it’s actually a tie that you can do on its own (I love doing it with the Lakeshore Bliss) here is a detailed tutorial on how its done!  You can see that even though I’m blabbering away and doing it very slowly , it still only takes 2 minutes for the video!  You’re gonna love this trick!

Good Morning!  We’ve received so many requests for the Lovely Lace tutorial since posting this photo of Deidra on our facebook page yesterday!  So while getting dressed this morning I decided to video myself trying it out!  It’s so easy!  You’ll also learn how to do the lovely “loopty-doop” on the side!

Sometimes, a busy day calls for a perfect one scarf wrap; a Regal Wrap done with a Tapestry Luxe (this is the Blonde one) fit those requirements perfectly!  And I can’t believe how many compliments I’ve gotten when getting ready only took 2 minutes!

You know how I’m always talking about that ‘must have’ go-to wrap that we all need to master?  Well, this is mine!  Whenever I’m in a rush or my so called ‘genius’ creative idea isn’t working, I always go for this wrap.  It’s foolproof once you master it!  Do any of you have a go to wrap that you can just do in your sleep?

Love, Andrea

It’s been years since I made this video, and I’ve always been meaning to remake it.  Here is part one of the remake!

Here I discuss one of the reasons why I love covering my hair: the intense multi-level pleasure that I get from it!  Learn about the different kinds of pleasure we can experience in this world, and why hair covering allows me to start my day connecting to all of them!

Check out this awesome trick!  Great for anyone that gets annoyed with having too many knots at the base of the neck!  This will change your tichel tying game!

It seems that spring has finally sprung here in Baltimore!  (Praying that it lasts!)  I love spring for its energy of renewal, rebirth, the rediscover of potential.  There are so many wonderful holidays that we celebrate that have the energy of spring:

Purim – allowing us to reveal the hidden
Pesach – enabling us to cast off our chains and grow towards our full potential

I am just so excited to be a part of all this!  And here on the Wrapunzel front we are also working hard in the springtime!  We are currently launching our new spring line, and we are truly inspired by the potential of these new tichels and accessories!  Here are some photos of what we’ve found for you so far!  Get excited… there’s more to come!

What are you looking forward to most about spring?

It all started when Naomi Rose posted this photo…

In it, she’s wearing a purple 2 in 1 and a Lakeshore Bliss in Green, a color combo rarely seen!  What resulted was an IMMEDIATE snowball effect!  We all had to try out this gorgeous color combo! It started with a few ladies…

And then more jumped on the bandwagon… we tried it with different scarves and sashes too!

Finally I had to join in as well!  I had been looking for the perfect excuse to break in my purple lace sash… and don’t worry, even though this color is sold out right now we are getting more in!

Thank you Naomi Rose for clueing us in to this gorgeous color combination!!!  Love it love it love it!!

Teal, and teal, with teal, plus teal??

Yes, please!

I wanted to figure out a gorgeous way to wear this new Teal with Black Threads Limited Shimmery.  What better way than to pair it with a Teal Shimmery?  (And a teal shell, and a teal shirt…)

Any wild guesses as to what my favourite color is?

…

And it’s so easy to tie!  Here’s the tutorial!  I just used a black hair elastic to secure the ends and did a slight zig zag with the front.

I wish the photos showed the lovely “shimmery-ness” more, but you get the idea!  What is your favourite current shimmery combination?
Love, Andrea

So I have a confession to make.

I don’t own as many tichels as y’all think I do.

The reason is that I usually end up giving them to ladies that I end up Wrapunzeling unexpectedly… and that often happens in shows, formal events, and public washrooms!  So it certainly helps me keep my collection manageable.

Never have we carried a scarf that I’ve loved enough to want in all colors… until now.

The Tapestry Luxe is awe-inspiring.  We first carried it in grey, as a fancy neutral scarf for the elegant and subtle ladies.  Then we saw it in Blonde and just had to share it with you as well.  Soon after our jaws dropped when we saw the Auburn… now THIS one was my favourite!  Oh wait, but I love the blonde and grey too… so why choose?  And then we got it in purple.

Basically, I am not going to choose which one I like most, because it’s always the one I’m currently wearing!  This is definitely a thick, cooler weather scarf, but it’s so so soft.  And the different sides of it (there’s the colorful side and then the gold side) make for so many different wrapping options!  I just can’t get enough!

I’ve paired it with a cream&gold Braided Wreath Necklace (made into a headband with the Regal Clasp, of course!) – but usually I just wear it on its own!  Here is a tutorial on how to wrap this scarf!

Hope you’re all doing well and if you’re in the cold/icy weather like I am, staying warm and safe!
Kol tuv,
❤ Andrea
