Wedding Wrap :D

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation10 Comments

It’s not every day that one of your best friends gets married!  Yesterday I had the joy of attending the wedding of my dear friend, who also happened to be the shomeret (Jewish equivalent of maid of honour) in my wedding!

Of course, for such a special wedding, I needed to create something special to wear on my head.  Here it is!

Here is a slightly better view from on top:

To do this wrap, I took two long scarves (pink and sparkly black… pink is one of the bride’s favourite colours!) and wrapped them asymmetrically around my head so the tails hung one longer than the other.  Then I took the longer tails and wrapped them around my head, tying them to the shorter ones.  This look was completed with a beautiful headband, that was actually given to me by the beautiful bride before my wedding day.  Mazal tov!

White for Shabbat!

I love wearing white on Shabbat!  Here is what I wore on my head for Friday night:

This is a very simple wrap!  It’s one white, long textured scarf (I have seen ones like these in east Indian neighbourhoods used as shawls).  With it, I did a “royal twist” and added this peacock pin, which is becoming one of my favourite accessories!

 

First Workshop – YAY!

On Wednesday night, I was able to teach my first workshop so other women could have a hands-on hair wrapping experience!  We had a great time together and I learned a lot from every single participant.  Here are a few of the photos that were taken during the evening (next time we’ll take more – promise!) These women look stunning!

 

It was wonderful to be able to share ideas with friends, and get to know some new faces (one woman drove 4 hours so we could meet each other!)  I am looking forward to many more events like this in the future.  Next time, we can hopefully make a video of the class 🙂

For those of you that have asked about how-to videos, there is a list of pages on the right sidebar which is all of my 2012 content from youtube and my previous site.  The same links are located in dropdown menus/submenus right beside the “home” button, above.  You’ll find tons of videos and photo tutorials, as well as thoughts, experiences and FAQs.  As well, hank you so much for all the new suggestions so far!  I’m really looking forward to making them happen so keep ’em coming!

Here is the scarf that I put on tonight!  (Please note, I will likely not be posting this many updates in the future… I’m just super excited about this new site!)  I was meeting some very important friends, one of whom is getting married this weekend – mazal tov! Here I am wearing a medium silk scarf (with the non-slip velvet headband underneath, of course), and a beautiful flower pin which was given to me by a friend.  My earrings are from the open marketplace in Jerusalem 🙂

Today I am wearing a long turquoise/black/green scarf wrapped turban-style (or what I call a “regal wrap”).  I layered a grey cotton with silver threads scarf on top and wrapped the ends up together.  To finish it off, a peacock feather pin given to me by a very special friend and silver hoop earrings!

Welcome Welcome!

I am happy to share this new site, which will be about everything to do with hair wrapping!  The “hair wrapping how-to” section was getting much too crowded over on andreagrinberg.com, plus I have many ideas on new places that I want to take this art.

You can look forward to:
– Almost daily “what I’m wearing on my head” posts! (hopefully this won’t ever get repetitive.)
– Inspirational photos and stories of other women and how they cover their hair!
– Frequent Q&A and personalized troubleshooting
– As well as the usual how-to videos, photo inspiration and hair covering thoughts that have always been there!

What would YOU like to see here?  Let me know and I will do the best I can to feature it!

There are so many women that cover their hair with scarves for various reasons.  This site is a place to share and learn about this beautiful art together.

Here is what I’m wearing on my head today:  Silk scarf with flower pin 🙂
