Here are some stunning photos that Rivka Malka’s daughter, Hadassa, took of “The Crazy Beautiful”!! So happy to finally share them with you!! How have your experiments with it been going?
It reminds me of all those intricate updos that ladies would do for weddings – except you don’t need hair extensions and hours or labor! And no, it isn’t that heavy if you wrap towards your head instead of pulling down! It’s actually quite comfortable and made me stand up straighter!
And you get to watch it happen!!! It turned out epic!!
Wanna try it yourself? You can get these exact scarves here!
Can I even begin to tell you how happy these scarves make me?? The Shimmery is my forever dream scarf (I’ve been wearing my gold one for YEARS!) and the 2 in 1s make all my braiding fantasies possible! Here are two styles I’ve been wearing lately! Woohoo!
First of all… the elegant double twist braid (with the ends tucked in instead of out) done with the 2 in 1s – it’s never been easier!
And now my two current favourite Shimmery colours: Teal and Green! Been doing a version of the zig zag criss cross with these!
Lately it hasn’t been very often that you’ll see me wearing one scarf… I’d forgotten how beautiful it can be!! Yes, layers are incredible, but sometimes you just want one scarf to shine… and this Navy Shimmery certainly did that beautifully. I added a necklace and that was it! The wrap I did was a waterfall twist (with an extra little twist) and it stayed put all night long with no adjustment needed! Since I was wearing a black shaper underneath, no other scarves were needed except the one!
The outfit I wore was another lucky Goodwill find! I almost didn’t buy it because I thought it would be hard to match, but then remember I had a mint shell and a navy skirt that would work perfectly with it! This was one of those fancy but super comfortable outfits that I know I’ll wear again! I hope you enjoy it!
I hope you are all having an inspiring, healthy, cathartic, and grateful weekend! Sending you much love and light!
Love, Andrea
Here are 4 outfits that I wore recently that were perfectly enhanced by tichels!
I’m always asked how to match up patterned shirts with tichels. “Is it possible to wear a patterened shirt with a patterned head scarf?” The answer is yes!! Just look for similar colours and flow, and you’ll look even more put together!
My favourite blue dress with a flowing blue scarf (a gift from Rivka Malka – and yes it will be a part of the store soon!), with pearls and a brown Israeli tichel for contrast! Loved this one!
This next outfit was so much fun! I was worried about putting all this texture together but the separate elements enhanced each other! This photo was taken after a long day and in bad light, but you can only imagine what it looked like before! The colours are so happy!
And last but not least, a photo from a recent concert… elegant and understated.
I hope this post shows you how tichels can help you do MORE with what you already have! Let me know what you think and please keep sending in your requests! It really helps me out! Kol tuv ❤

Hello beautiful Wrapunzel ladies! I hope you’re all doing well and those of you that are preparing for Pesach are managing to keep your sanity intact and your kavannah strong! Here is what I wore for Shabbat! I am totally loving this white lace scarf (my husband helped pick it out), and yes, for those of you wondering, we are working on getting it for the store! The turquoise 2 in 1 is now one of my complete favourites – I actually decided to iron it for a concert last week and since then it’s been looking fancier than when it had the runches!
As you can see above, I wore my white cotton dress from Yom Kippur – I had no idea it would match the lace tichel so well! My husband wears all white on Shabbat, so my outfit was picked out with love to match him, and also incorporating teal, my favourite colour. It was a beautiful day here in Baltimore, and this outfit was perfect for our long Shabbat walk 🙂
All my love, Andrea
Today is such a gift! We hosted a vibrant, bustling in-person Wrapunzel event this morning at Rivka Malka’s house – it was so much fun bonding with all these beautiful women and teaching them how to wrap! We also have a very rare, pre Pesach sale at the Wrapunzel Store happening only today (yes, right now!)… it is our first time doing something like this so we were uper duper excited! It has been so much fun watching so many creative orders come in and maintaining the site as the day goes on! I also had a very intense chamber music coaching this morning as well as a rehearsal later… and tonight is our dress rehearsal for a big concert next week! Whew! All in all, this has been a wonderful day so far! And I had to make sure when I got ready early in the morning that I wore something that could take me through the whole day! Here it is!
My tichel is a lovely warm combination of turquoise, white and brown… yum!
My outfit had to be nice enough to do a tichel show, comfortable enough to clean the house for pesach, practical enough to walk through some muddy bits to get to rehearsal, with a wide enough skirt to play the cello! I’m so happy with the results!
And of course, the clothes are meaningless unless they reveal your inner essence, which I really feel like these clothes do today. I am so thankful today to know each and every one of you! Wishing you a gorgeous, productive, and meaningful week!
Love, Andrea
All you Wrapunzel ladies know how that the weirdest baubles can make the greatest scarf accessories! Brooches, earrings, belts, and necklaces have all made their ways onto our heads! Now here’s a new idea (not my own) – a belt buckle! So cool! What do you think?
I’m loving it so much that we’re definitely going to bring them to the store for you! I can see so many endless possibilities!
Hi ladies!! Check out this new way to wrap your sari scarf! It’s a normal tie, just with the lines on an angle… and then the pin is placed at the top of the head instead of the side like I’m used to! Yay happy experiments! What do you think?
And do y’all think it’s about time I got myself another sari scarf? 😛
Hope you’re all having a beautiful day!
Love, Andrea
Hey Everyone! This is an exciting new thing for me… Rivka Malka and I made some tutorials TOGETHER!!!! It was so much fun to do – very different from anything I’ve done before!! Here they are! Let me know what you think!
There is something just so… warm about this wrap! The soft fabric just works and something about it feels so natural! I can’t put my finger on it, but I know this is one of my new favourites that will be worn again and again!
Have you ever had that happen to you? Have you ever created a wrap that is just so *you* and you can’t quite figure out why?
Wowwwww what a response to the last post! You all really wanted a tutorial, and I wanted to figure out new ways of doing this awesome Naomi Wrap… so here you go!
Sooooo what should we call it?? I have already thought of “The Naomi” but that probably won’t work because I have a feeling we will have many more wraps on here inspired by her! Something with the word “Knots”? But nothing “knotty” please :p
My sis-in-law Naomi (remember her as a Lady Wrap Star?) posted this super cool wrapping style she created yesterday, and I just HAD to try it! I wanted an simple around-the-house-doing-work style for today, and this one is as easy as she makes it sound… and guess what – I’m not wearing a shaper/volumizer! Just a scrunchy!
Here are her instructions on how to do it!
Take one long, lightweight rectangle. Tie at the nape of the neck (ends hanging at equal length. Tie a series of 4 single loose knots with the ends. Wrap up and over the bun. Takes two minutes, looks so complicated!!
Just make sure you use a really long scarf so that even after the knots you still have long enough ends to go all the way over the bun and tuck in. For a shorter scarf maybe 3 knots would be better 🙂
Thanks Naomi for the inspiration!! Here is a shot of her wearing it (with a longer scarf so therefore tighter knots and a shaper/volumizer underneath.) See how tiny little “details” change the whole look? Imagine with a sparkly scarf – it could even be formal wear!
You know what’s so cool about hair wrapping? An outfit that on its own would be mismatched looks incredibly coordinated when paired with the right head scarf! Check it out!
What do you think? Would you wear this?
So in case y’all haven’t heard yet, a Wrapunzel Store will be opening soon! Your demands have been heard – yay! For now, the blog and the store are being kept separate (most of you requested this) but since Rivka Malka‘s and my life right now is revolving around setting this baby up, many of my wraps are done using our new scarves!
Tichels are generally a hit and miss … and since we will only sell what we wear ourselves, (and for a price we would pay – this one is a toughie!) searching for perfect scarves has been quite an adventure! Recently one particular scarf arrived which made us gasp in shock and excitement because the colours were simply EPIC! I wore it yesterday and couldn’t wait to post it!
It’s a one scarf wonder! What do you think?
We also just sent one of these out to the lucky winner of our recent giveaway. I can’t wait to see what she does with it!
It’s like, all of my favourite colours at once! And this wrap was so easy to put together (did it without a mirror in much haste!) Enjoy!
