I do have to say… I am quite happy with today’s wrap!
Take a look at the tutorial here. The pin that I added is something that I found in a thrift shop! I honestly don’t know how anyone would wear it other than on a headwrap 😛

Green & Blue
Y’all encouraged my colour experiment with light green last week, so I am wearing the green scarf once more! I contrasted it with my blue flowered scarf and wrapped it into a layered wrap, which was surprisingly easy to do, given how long I’ve gone without tying one of these!
So the conclusion is: for those of you that may have had trouble with the “Layered Look” wrap, just be persistent! Once you get it, you won’t forget it! (The one difference between this wrap and the one in the video is that I tucked the ends into themselves instead of underneath the wrap, and left one of the green ends hanging down.)

Wrap of the Day
Here is what was on my head today! I was inspired by the lady that commented, metioning how she likes to mix pale blue/green/purple hues with brown. I had a little trouble with the slippery fabric of the scarf so… easy solution: tie the ends together with a hair elastic! (in lieu of knots, which can come undone!) Of course, the pin on top hides this, so no one will know that you cheated 🙂

Hair Wrapping Cartoons!
A friend of mine recently contacted me with some innovative scarf tying ideas. She didn’t want her face on the internet, so instead, she drew instructions for us! Aren’t they adorable? Can’t wait to try ’em!
Here is the first wrap, using one long scarf and a beret:
And here is the second one!

The Wonder Scarf
I always appreciate scarves that make your wraps look much more intricate than they actually are. Scarves that have multiple patterns and colours do this job very well as you can see in the following photos:
Yes, this is just one scarf, tied in the simplest long scarf wrap (see tutorial here). A beautiful beaded pin finishes off the look and the final result is something that looks much more complicated than it actually is. Yay!

Sunrise Hues
There was a time when I went through a contrasting colour phase; All the colours I wore had to be contrast with each other, especially the ones on my head! Blue and orange, yellow and purple, green and pink, etc. would all make bold appearances together. However, lately I am going through a monochromatic phase where I will pair together blue and green, purple and navy, red and orange, and pink with blush. Today was no exception! What colour pairings are you loving lately?

Daily Scarf Creation!
This wrap didn’t budge from dawn until late at night… even though the sash is slippery silk!
To do this, I did a basic Regal Wrap -Turban with a lilac pashmina scarf, and added a silk sash in for contrast. Kept my head warm in today’s crazy rain/wind/snow!

Casual Tuesday
It’s rainy and humid where I am today, so I am wearing a colourful, casual head scarf to go with my colourful, casual rain boots.

Today’s Special: The Classic Braid

I’ve found myself in a bit of a “need to always create something new!” hair wrapping rut. It seems that in my quest to create fresh and inspiring hair wraps, I have forgotten to continue rocking the classic “Andrea” wraps that I have created in the past. Also, most of you on this new site haven’t even seen these wraps yet! So, today I decided to wear a classic single braid with a cute butterfly pin. This wrap was one of my first tutorials that I made, and you can find it here.

That’s a Wrap!
After a lovely day, my hubby and I going out tonight to say goodbye to a close friend who is leaving town. Here is what I’m wearing on my head!
This is actually just one gauzy long scarf (just one?! Yes, I’m going casual) – wrapped in the way that I showed in my recent pashmina video. Finished it off with some silver hoop earrings and I’m ready to go! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Bring On the Colour!
Brrrrr! It’s cold outside where I’m living, so, armed with inspiration from today’s “Lady Wrap Star”, Elizabeth (see post here), I decided to don a bright square scarf, add another bright long scarf and finish it off with twists! My awesome husband also took these photos, which resulted in much nicer shots than the ones I take of myself 🙂
And here is an artsy shot of half my smiling face:
I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend and is looking forward to a productive week filled with beautiful moments, surprises, achievements, special connections and of course, gorgeous head wraps!

Thursday night! (and FYI)
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 🙂

Thursday’s Wrap ~*~
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!
