Fancy New Wrap!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation3 Comments

A dear friend of mine gave me a stunning scarf as a gift;  Upon receiving it, I had no idea how I was going to incorporate it into a hair wrap, because it was small and triangular, see-through, with fringe!  Little did I know that it would allow me to create one of the most stunning wraps!

(This is the “new” wrap that I was speaking about before – on my tutorial list!  It has a four tail braid with the fringe poking out.)

Same Wrap with Different Scarves!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf CreationLeave a comment

It’s amazing how the same wrap can look drastically different with different scarves.  These are both scarves that I’ve showed you on this site before.  The first one is yellow and made of a very thin cotton:

The second one is a thicker pashmina-like scarf, that had large vertical stripes and intricate texture.  Vive le difference!

This is proof that you only need to master one wrap and then try it with different scarves to get a myriad of different styles!  The wrap used for both of the above examples is a Regal Wrap.

Happy Wrapping Y’all! ❤

Shavuot Night Tie

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf CreationLeave a comment

Hi Everyone, I apologize for my lack of daily posts!  The reason was that the Jewish holiday of Shavuot came right in the middle of the week, and of course, since I don’t use technology on these days, taking photos of head wraps wasn’t possible.  I did, however, create a new style that I’m very excited to share (and will hopefully take photos of this weekend)!  For now, here is what I wore on my head for the eve going into the holiday.  My husband gave me the cream/grey/black scarf as a holiday present, and I added the teal to match my skirt.  The tie is a double twist.  Since the scarf is multi-tonal, it looks like I’m wearing a lot more than two scarves (especially in the twist part)!  Thank you to my lovely friend who snapped these photos 🙂

I love this scarf.  Mostly because my husband got it for me, but also because it is so versatile and makes it look like I am wearing more than one.  And the colour.  Of course the best thing is the colour.  Keep an eye out for scarves with wide vertical stripes like this!

In these photos, I am wearing a basic regal wrap with a brooch added for a little extra sparkle.

Wrapunzel Gallery

It has been requested that a gallery be made available of all the daily post wraps.  Here it is, saving you from scrolling!  This “Wrapunzel Gallery” much like the pink header up above, but instead showcases ALL the wraps featured on the site so far.  Some of these photos were taken before Wrapunzel existed, when hair wrapping was just a small section of my other website, but the majority of them were featured as daily posts.  This gallery is for you to save, pin, print, share with friends, etc.  Think of it as a comprehensive scarf tying database and use it for inspiration!

Click on the photos to see them in full size and go through the gallery!  If you have questions about a specific wrap, leave a comment on the actual photo by clicking on it 😀

Too Much Volume: Is There Such a Thing?

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation, Recommendations19 Comments

My dear friend, Judith, from Judith de Paris, sent me a volumizer to try out and give my feedback.  It is a long, stuffed, velvet tube, that you wrap around your bun like a snake.  I was quite intrigued, and the results were certainly interesting!  The snake didn’t create that uniform, round volumizer look that I’m used to, and it created a LOT of volume!  For me, it almost felt like too much, but I’m sure it’s a look that I will want once in a while.  The snake also took a while to wrap, which was more time-consuming and requiring or wrapping skills than the regular volumizer that you just slip on.

The first time I wore it was over Shabbat day.  These photos were taken late in the evening, and the wrap stayed put for the whole day!  I found this surprising because it really looked like there was a lot of weight at the back of my head, but it did not budge!  I even took a two hour nap during the day!  I wore the snake with my bun a little lower than usual, so the volume was lower down.  What do you think?

 

The second time I wore it was yesterday, and I wore my bun a little higher.  I really liked the effect that was created, but again, it was much more volume than I am used to.  Do you think there is such a thing as too much volume?  Do you have any suggestions for ways to wear such a large volumizer?  Share your thoughts in the comments section!

Ticheled Tamar!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Lady Wrap Stars17 Comments
I “met” Tamar over the summer when a friend of mine commented on a photo of hers and it showed up on my facebook feed.  Besides the fact that it’s a bit creepy how facebook seems to know me, I am very glad that this meeting happened!  The name of her album was so wonderful that I just had to add her as a friend.  The album was entitled “Tichels Are Cool” and was filled with various photos of her showing her experimentations and gorgeous wraps… definitely meant to be.  Here she is as this week’s Lady Wrap Star!

Hi Tamar, can you tell us a bit about yourself?  (ie where do you live, what do you like to do, family, interests, etc.)
My name’s Tamar Goldschmidt and I live in the heart of Jerusalem, the grooviest place in the world! I moved here almost 3 years ago, met my husband and now have an amazing little baby boy, Shlomo Nachman B”H…I’m currently studying to be a doula and besides my typical hobbies, including writing, art, reading, analyzing poetry, being a mommy and an orthodox jew with the funk etc – I continuously try to discover new tichel ideas! As a married Jewish woman, it is our job to officially rock!
Where did you learn how to wrap scarves?
I taught myself at around 12 or 13 when I began collecting them. I always knew I was going to cover my hair. I felt so connected to the idea of making something so normal so spiritual and special in a marriage. And since growing up, my dream occupation was to be a wife and mother (with a few novels up my sleeve as well) the idea of covering my hair was something i could identify with.
How long have you been covering?
Well I’ve been covering my hair  “full time” since I got married in 2011…
What tichel wrapping advice/secrets do you have to share with us?
Two words that are so essential they have to be typed in caps: TICHEL BAND…You can get your beauty sleep while wearing the craziest and heaviest tichel ever and it wont move an inch off your head! You can find it in any tichel shop!
Are there any specific ideas that you would like to share about what you have learned about covering based on your face shape, colouring, style, etc.?
If you have short hair: FEAR NOT! There are so many ways to get the looks you want. Everything from voluminazers to socks. This too, requires experimentation. Whatever feels more comfortable! I find that one tichel is never enough though…because it’s not. Go crazy 🙂
Do you have a favourite style of wrapping?
I take pride in my princess-do…and my beehive-do…In short, it’s difficult to choose. I guess it depends what I’m feeling that day.
Most vivid tichel wearing memory?
I remember when I discovered that I could do my princess-do with literally ANY tichel…not just the triangular ones. This was life changing for me!  [Anyone else itching to get her to do a tutorial?]
What do you love most about covering your hair?
I LOVE walking down the street, passing other married women and seeing different styles of tichel wrapping. There was a few times where someone’s tichel caught my eye and they were thinking the same thing about mine…I can’t tell you how many times tichels have been number one conversation starters.
What are you grateful for right now?
I’m grateful for having been given the opportunity to be featured on Wrapunzel!
