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 🙂

Deep Ocean Hues

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation5 Comments

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.

Yesterday’s New Tie – Take 2!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation2 Comments

Many of you have asked for a tutorial on how to do yesterday’s tie – I will make it happen!  However, before doing so, I need to wear the style a few more times before I can claim to be expert enough to make a tutorial.  Here is the same tie, but with a silkier scarf… looks pretty good and is holding up well!

Easy Summer Style

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation7 Comments

This one is super easy, and only requires one square scarf (no volumizer or any add-ons).  It is much lighter than the usual wraps I wear, and I find that it’s making me happy every time I pass a reflective surface!  Will definitely be experimenting with similar styles over the next few days.

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 😀

Flower Power

I can’t even tell you how many compliments and smiles I got just by wearing this bright flower on a sunny day.  Yay for making people happy!  Others seemed to think that this was a very complicated wrap, but really, it’s only a regal wrap with the stretchy flower headband added in.  Will definitely be doing this style more often!

The Cyclists Solution #1

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation5 Comments

I bike to work pretty much every day.  Usually I wear a thin scarf/pretied underneath my helmet and arrive early so I can wrap my headscarf in the bathroom… however, I wanted to create a tie that looks nice as soon as one takes the helmet off.  Here it my first solution!  I tied a square scarf in triangle style. but I let the tucked in end hang down a little more than usual, allowing my ponytail to be low and creating a “snood”-like look.  It definitely worked well under the helmet.  What do you think?  Are there any other cyclists on here?

Introducing… Nava!

wrapunzel nava
Hello, world of Wrapunzel! I’m Nava – I am a graphic artist by day, and a musician by night. This is actually how I met Andrea a few years ago, and we have been great friends ever since. A few years after meeting Andrea, I was fortunate enough to meet my wonderful husband, Jonathan, and we have now been married for just over one year.

My husband and I identify with a community where not all of the married women cover their hair every day, and this is what I have chosen to do because this is what usually makes me feel most comfortable . I always cover my hair on shabbat, chagim (Jewish holidays), and at Jewish events (such as weddings, bar mitzvas, bris’s, etc). I cover my hair at these events because I feel it is important for me to send a open signal to the community that I am a married woman, and it makes me feel more comfortable when I know I am making this clear (eg. not every guy does the finger check). I also feel that by covering my hair, I am acknowledging the religious importance of the event and am making an extra outward effort to show respect for that fact (rather than an inward effort) – just like I make an effort to wear nice clothing on shabbat and chagim to make these days special, I also want to cover my hair in beautiful ways for the exact same reason. As well as being a sign that I am married and devoted to my wonderful husband, covering my hair also gives me a way of portraying a membership to my community that I also love very much and am most grateful to have in our lives.

I have always loved scarves and have been building up a collection for years. Before I was married, I always wore these scarves around my neck, but now that I am married, this is what I use to cover my hair!


I love all of the different ties and combinations you can do – I really love mixing colours and textures, and using different accessories. Every dollar store or used clothing store trip is a treasure hunt for new accessories or scarves to add to my collection! I also love incorporating braids into my ties, I find them so wonderfully regal-looking. And since I was never really able to make beautiful braids in my own hair (since it is so curly and knotty), I enjoy having the chance to make braids in my tichels (headscarves)!

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!

My new favourite!

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation6 Comments

Yes, I spell “favourite” with a “U”;  I’m Canadian, eh!

I was recently inspired by this video and wanted to try the wrap.  I was all ready to use my new sparkly brown scarf for it, but when I attempted the tie, I found the ends were much too long and heavy for it to work.  So, I made an adjustment and wrapped the longer end around my head once again (with a slight twist) and tucked it under the knot once I had brought it around.  Sounds complicated? It’s not.  Let me know if you would like a tutorial!

I finished off the look with a beautiful pin and was ready to face the day.  I got many more comments about my wrap than I am used to… so I consider this one a success!
