Triple-y Twisted, the new DB?

On 2014/08/01 By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation15 Comments

So I was running out of the house today, ready to do my go-to double braid (the DB), when I thought, why not do three twists instead of two braids? Both use three 2 in 1s, which were already on my head all ready to go! So I tried it, and do I ever like it! What do you think? Do you think this will be the new DB?

Wishing you all a lovely weekend! Remember to take a moment, breathe in the miraculous air around you, and be thankful for all the miracles in your life! Thank you for making the Wrapunzel community the living miracle that it is!

Love, Andrea

Navy and Mint!!

On 2014/04/27 By Andrea GrinbergIn Clothing Ideas & Inspiration13 Comments

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

New Tutorial! Waterfall Twist 2.0

On 2014/03/30 By Andrea GrinbergIn Tutorials!13 Comments

Here is how to do an amped up version of the Waterfall Twist! This is one of my favourite wraps and the option of doing the “twist” part with two colours opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Enjoy!

Bold Patterns!

Here is some outfit inspiration for all of you! Who says you can’t wear patterns in our outfit and on your head at the same time? This skirt is VERY bold for my normal wardrobe, and I usually just wear it with a black top and simple wrap. Never realized it could look so good with more colour added!

This wrap is a basic twist wrap – check out the tutorial! Have you tried this wrap yet?

Gettin’ Creative!

It’s a new year (the Jewish year of 5774 just began), so what better time to start creating some new wraps! You may have noticed in the last tutorial that I am experimenting with gathering the scarves at the side of my head instead of the back; this one today is no exception. I started off doing two long twists dangling at either side of my head… but then my husband walked by, tried to hide his laugh, so I decided not to go out like that… it did look funny! (Maybe an idea for Purim?) So I undid one twist, wrapped the remainder around my head (creating a really neat knot at the side of my head) and let the other twist hang. It’s interesting how twisting at the side of your head completely changes the shape of the wrap! I am not sure that this one works so well for my face shape, but I am sure that it will work for others! As soon as I master the side gathering thing, I will make a tutorial!

Spiral Rose Tutorial!

A word to the wise: if you have just stumbled upon Wrapunzel and/or you are hair wrapping beginner, best you not start with this tutorial! However, you should definitely watch it to see the wraps that are possible! This is the most technique intensive tie that I have done, and as you can see in the video, I still haven’t perfected the mechanics of it! However, so many of you asked, so here is the tutorial!

Reaching Infinity

On 2013/08/222013/08/22 By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation13 Comments

Yes, you read the title correctly! I finally got myself an infinity scarf, because so many of you have been asking me how to wrap one! This is the first wrap that I came up with:

Keep in mind that infinity scarves vary by size, width, and material. This particular one had two sides to it ( white lace and blue) and was not stretchy.

This beautiful, sparkly, antique brooch held the wrap together perfectly. It is quite easy to do, and doesn’t require a volumizer or any particular hair length! Who wants a tutorial?

A Spiral Rose

On 2013/08/15 By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation, Updates12 Comments

Get ready to be wow-ed. This wrap is not for the faint hearted! After two days of moving, wearing an awful pretied, feeling totally grungy, I was just itching to do a beautiful wrap! You can get excited for a tutorial as soon as I get my video camera set up 🙂

Yeah, I know. Twists at the sides … over the top, and…

… twists at the back and then down the side!

I have to thank a VERY special for person for inspiring this wrap; she will know who she is once she sees it. (Did I do that semicolon correctly?) This wrap was done in the spirit of deep friendship and sisterhood, and represents the ties that can never be severed, regardless of distance, time, or circumstance. Thank you, beautiful lady! You are such a gift to me ❤

Here is a closeup of the side twist, as well as a shot from the back!

Wedding Wow!

On 2013/07/222013/07/22 By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation8 Comments

What kind of head wrap should one wear to a wedding? And epic one!

This style is an elegant waterfall twist wrap with the new sash that I featured last week thrown in for extra wow power! I put my bun/volumizer much higher than usual to give it extra height. Here it is from the side:

And from the other side:

And since many of you have been asking me to do full outfit posts as well as headwraps… this next shot is for you! I am still debating whether or not I want to post my clothing choices because this site is about hair wrapping, not modest fashion (there are many ladies on here that wrap their hair and do not dress like I do) but I know it can sometimes be hard to match wraps with outfits. Disclaimer: I am not a fashionista in the least and it is hard to take self shots of outfits! But for what it’s worth, here I am wearing a floor length silk dress ($8 thrift store sale yeah!) and a purple shell underneath:

Stripes with a Twist!

Always been afraid to combine brown and black? So was I, until I tried… this!

Twisted Orange!

On 2013/07/09 By Andrea GrinbergIn Daily Scarf Creation8 Comments

I have never tried doing a single twist with one scarf before… it was time to give it a go! The result was beautiful; Intricate yet casual. I will definitely be doing this one again!
