This scarf is one of the first tichels that I purchased. I love its versatility, but had never worn it in a formal setting. I decided to try it out! Who knew that with a little extra height and a sparkly pin, this scarf could be just as fancy as the rest of ’em! The elastic in the scarf kept everything put for the whole night, and the pin held everything together with a little extra security. I will definitely be trying this one again!
If you have been following this blog for a while, you may already know about my love for the “sari scarf” that I own. For those of you that don’t, a sari scarf is a scarf made of recycled sari strips. It’s beautiful, and with one easy knot makes it look like you are wearing a myriad of scarves on your head. I wear mine whenever I need to pull off something fast and formal… so when I found another one in thrift store ($3!) of different colours from the one I already own, I decided to get it. Here it is!
And here is the tutorial on how to do this wrap!
I love this scarf! It’s so simple, and the colour is beautiful and flattering. And because it’s so light and soft, it’s perfect for the summer!
Stripe-y scarves are great when you’re running out the door and don’t have time to do something elaborate with your ‘do. This brown one is both neutral and flattering… and a beautiful brooch ties the look together perfectly!
This wrap was so “new” to me a month ago… now it’s one of my most used styles! I wore it for the whole day today and it took me from a formal occasion to heavy lifting to nannying to grocery shopping… and all the way back home! This picture was snapped when I walked in the door, so you can see that it hasn’t budged since the morning (thank you velvet headband!) Yes, I know it looks complicated, but the four tail braid is super easy once you get the knack of it 🙂
Check out the tutorial here.
This scarf, given to me by my mother-in-law, is one of my summer favourites. It’s made of crushed silk, so it’s light and low maintenance. The colour changes on the scarf make it look like I’m wearing more than one when really, it feels so light – like I’m barely wearing anything! For this wrap, I am not wearing the volumizer… just my hair tied up high and the velvet headband with the scarf (it’s hot outside!)
This is definitely the ticheled version of a “messy bun”. The scarf is already elasticized to begin with, and then I twisted it over my bun and strategically pinned the ends. Much more casual then my usual style, but I got more compliments than usual so I guess others enjoyed it!
Inspired by a dress and scarf that I always had trouble matching, I decided to put together a gorgeous wrap with hues of grey, black, silver sparkles, and blue. The results were wonderful and surprising… what do you think? What colour combinations have you tried that surprised you?
A beautiful, light, summer style!
I am loving this waterfall twist wrap that I recently did a tutorial on (see the tutorial here). It is so easy and elegant! And it’s easy to make it even more fancy by adding a thin scarf/sash to the wrap. Check it out!
(Please note that these photos were taken post 15 hour bus trip and pre makeup, which is why I look a little more tired than usual 😛 )

On Sunday I gave a talk and demonstration at a hair wrapping extravaganza in the Young Israel of Philadelphia. This was my first time speaking beyond the “hows” of covering and getting into the “whys”. The event was very well put together; I had an inspiring time, was smiling all the way home and look forward to doing many more events like this in the future! AND, I got to meet Judith of Judith de Paris in person!
If you’ve been following these posts, you have likely seen that I have a deep appreciation for Israeli tichels. This name is referring to the solid-coloured, thin cotton scarves that have lines of silver thread running through them. On the streets of Jerusalem, you can often find them in various small shops for under 10 shekels. I have used them as full hair coverings, scrunched up as volumizers, but mostly folded up as sashes. I find they add a perfect splash of contrast and sparkle to most other wraps. Here it is in black, used as a sash accent! (Click on photos to see in detail.)
I was wearing a grey skirt and mauve shirt… what scarf could possibly match? For some reason, I dug through my “give-away” pile of scarves, and uncovered this beauty, which matched my outfit perfectly! I think that I had it pegged to give away because it is a little dark for my skin tone… but still! It was almost *too* perfect in terms of matching, know what I mean? Anyway, I tied a simple long scarf bun with it and added a small pin; Does anyone want a tutorial on how to tie a bun with a long scarf?
I have shown you this wrap before using my sparkly gold scarf; Here it is using a brown one! It’s so easy, looks elegant and matches almost everything!
Lots of scarves, lots of layers, lots of volumes, lots of colour! This wrap is simply the wrap of lots! I’m loving it… what do you think?
I tried a very very layered wrap with two different pink scarves. Here is the result:
What do you think? Too much pink or just the right amount?
