Surprise yourself!

Yellow.  The colour that I long refused to wear.

I claimed that since it matched with my hair, I couldn’t pull it off because I would be “all one colour”.  Somehow, when I started covering my hair, I neglected to realize that since my hair colour would no longer be showing, this logic no longer applied.  Since covering my hair, I had always avoided yellow scarves and ran towards my favourite blues and greens.

Well, of course this logic was flawed, because my own “yellow” hair was no longer showing!  Therefore I would not be all one colour if I wore it.

Thanks to my mistakenly holding this scarf up to my face in a store (I was reaching for the blue), I have realized that yellows and golds are probably some the most beautiful colours for me to wrap over my hair!  I especially like this scarf because it is so big and soft… quite comfortable!  And of course, my “tichel tiara” made it look even more elegant.  I think this is one of my new favourites!

Lesson learned;  Surprise yourself!  🙂

Volume How-To

On By Andrea GrinbergIn Recommendations, Tutorials!38 Comments

Ever wondered how to get that perfect bun and amount of volume at the back of your headwrap?  Here is the secret solution!  (Well, not so secret anymore.)

Actually, I gave you a grand total of 7 solutions in this video!

Here are the links to some of the places I mentioned in this video (fyi – these resources are not sponsored… just ones that I have used and/or know!)

The volumizer can be found through Judith de Paris.  And on facebook.  Judith is a lovely woman.  You can talk to her personally if you need advice on what size to get etc. – or just ask me for help!

The hijab hump bonnet can be found on ebay through this seller.  It comes from Malaysia so you need to have some patience when waiting for it, but there was a lovely handwritten note included.  I’m thinking of buying a cotton one from them as well.

My post on how to make it look like you have a huge bun using a long scarf is here.

The volumizer that can be made out of a loofah has a couple of diy tutorials on youtube.  Here is one that someone sent to me.

And this is what the hair donut I was describing looks like:

The search is on!  We are looking to showcase other faces!  This site is going to be geared towards women from all sorts of backgrounds, colours, faiths, shapes, styles, and personalities.  So… do you love hair wrapping?  Or does someone you know wear fabulous, creative hair coverings?  Send an email with photos and we will make a feature post starring our guest “wrap star”.

Some other updates:

~ If you want to write to me privately, my email is andreaesthergrinberg@gmail.com – drop me a line and say hello!

QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
~ What do you think, so far?  How do you like the layout of the site, the archives from andreagrinberg.com (are they easy to look through?), the accessibility, sharing, photos etc.?
~ How do you like the posting style?  I know there haven’t been any substantial posts yet other than the hair wrapping workshop, but what do you think of the daily wrap?  Is it too much to do daily?  Do you think I should do it once every other day instead?
~ Anything else?  Many of you have already submitted great ideas about what you would like to see on here… but if you haven’t asked your question or given your ideas yet, now is the time!
~  Do any of you know of any forums where I should be sharing this site?  I know there are a lot of hair loss support groups out there, as well fashion forums, and other faith groups.  However I don’t know where to start looking.  Please, share your suggestions with me.  There are for sure many people out there that could really use Wrapunzel.

… and of course, the daily head wrap:

For this style, I wrapped a long striped scarf around my head, with one tail longer than the other.  Then I tied a sparkly black sash around my head, and wrapped the longer tail around my bun, tying it to the shorter end.  A pewter sunflower pin tied the look together 🙂

First Workshop – YAY!

On Wednesday night, I was able to teach my first workshop so other women could have a hands-on hair wrapping experience!  We had a great time together and I learned a lot from every single participant.  Here are a few of the photos that were taken during the evening (next time we’ll take more – promise!) These women look stunning!

 

It was wonderful to be able to share ideas with friends, and get to know some new faces (one woman drove 4 hours so we could meet each other!)  I am looking forward to many more events like this in the future.  Next time, we can hopefully make a video of the class 🙂

I am happy to share this new site, which will be about everything to do with hair wrapping!  The “hair wrapping how-to” section was getting much too crowded over on andreagrinberg.com, plus I have many ideas on new places that I want to take this art.

You can look forward to:
– Almost daily “what I’m wearing on my head” posts! (hopefully this won’t ever get repetitive.)
– Inspirational photos and stories of other women and how they cover their hair!
– Frequent Q&A and personalized troubleshooting
– As well as the usual how-to videos, photo inspiration and hair covering thoughts that have always been there!

What would YOU like to see here?  Let me know and I will do the best I can to feature it!

There are so many women that cover their hair with scarves for various reasons.  This site is a place to share and learn about this beautiful art together.

Here is what I’m wearing on my head today:  Silk scarf with flower pin 🙂
