Deanna Rodriguez I'm left handed too!! Also took me a while to figure out!

Hi and thanks for writing. For protection and coolness from the heat, we suggest using any 100% cotton square scarf and tying in into any style that features a veil. This should cover the back of your neck as well, since Wrapunzel's Square Scarves are bigger than most other manufacturers'. Best always.

We're so glad you got it to work. Here's to many beautiful wraps!

Pre-tieds are wonderful too! I’m sure you look lovely :)

Hi Cortney! Thanks for writing. There's no reason to wear both a No-Slip Headband and one of our Shapers with grippy velvet fabric. That's why we sew the grippy velvet band into the shaper. BUT FYI, some do wear an extra No-Slip Headband underneath to hold their Shaper on super-securely, if they're worried about that.

Hi there! Are you sure that your No-Slip Headband feels rough when you stroke it towards the back of your head? That's how you can tell it's on correctly. When it's on that way, you shouldn't experience any slippage!

@@WrapunzelOfficial Yes! I have very straight and fine hair. Any brand you recommend? Shabbat Shalom

Yes

MaiFlower the white thing is a tichel shaper, which provides more volume. The light brown strip is a type of headband that prevents slipping and keeps the tichel/scarf in place. Both are available on the wrapunzel website, and I’m sure they’re available elsewhere too

Sarah Durst thank you!

Wrapunzel has an entire line of 'underwraps' that hold your scarves in place - No-Slip Headbands and Shapers. Here's a link! wrapunzel.com/product-category/essential-tools/

I am half Mexican half "white" not sure where roots are there but i have been wrapping for about 7 months and i don't care anymore what anyone finds "offensive". It's something that God had been nudging me to do. I am Christian and attended a non denominational church so nobody wraps heads lol but i do and i am lucky enough to have received no judgement and only loving comments BUT even if i hadn't, it wouldn't have mattered cuz i like it. I wear mine "gypsy" style most days but sometimes "African" style of you will. And even in a casual setting I wear a scarf under my baseball cap hehe. You do what you need to do girl.

@@sarahmendez105 I am a beginner and I wonder if you could explain the gypsy style of wrapping. I have so much to learn.

I'm orthodox christian, we head cover at least during prayer at home or in public, or while at church. Some head cover any time they leave the bedroom.

There are no rules when it comes to wearing a head covering. Ppl if many beliefs, races, backgrounds and ethnicities wear head coverings. It's a world wide sisterhood. So, no it's not offensive.

@@reflexionesdelabiblia6711 no not all do. But its not uncommon, sometimes even non denominational women do. It just depends on you and your priest and your relationship with God. For the best information I recommend a priest, I'm not qualified to offer more information, I'm sorry. 😔

+Katie Stockton I'm in Australia and of Dutch heritage and Protestant. I wear one regularly and most people just think it looks really pretty. If you look at the wrapunzel website they're really clear that anyone can do this without giving offense and that's certainly been my experience. How it looks will also change depending on what scarves and ties you do. For example if you use a typical israeli tichel it will look more Jewish but if you do some kind of veil it could look more Islamic. One thing which in my opinion makes it look nicer and less Islamic or Jewish is leaving some hair showing at the front. I have a fringe (bangs) so that makes it nice and easy for me. Remember too that Christianity's roots are Jewish so there's nothing wrong with looking more Jewish :-)

+Katie Stockton Hi, Katie! We actually get asked this question so frequently that we made a video dedicated to the topic of "Is it Offensive if I wear a Tichel?". You can find it on our channel here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLFofJqcyrDemKs.html

Covering transcends cultural lines. Look back in European history and you will discover that most women covered in some fashion, up until fairly recently in the long view of things. Look at paintings from the Renaissance and you will see it as a very common practice. Women cover for many reasons: for faith, for medical issues, for anxiety, for fashion....and each of these reasons is valid. So long as you aren't covering using something that is 100% culturally, religious, or occasion specific (a gele, or kente cloth, just for for example), it is NOT appropriation. There are only so many ways to tie scarves for wearing on the head that lines will blur. If you aren't comfortable with it...don't do it. Just realize that there is a far more in depth history behind covering than simply religion. Personally, I'm Irish/Dutch and PAGAN, and I cover for spiritual reasons. I've felt drawn to it for a very long time, and I feel as if it connects me to the Divine and all of the holy women who came before in a very powerful way....it is a personal sacred space that I take with me everywhere that I go. Follow your heart, it's going to be your best guide.

I'm a Protestant an German as well, and a few days ago, God send me the message to cover my hair and guided me to the Wrapunzel website. I know that it isn't really normal to wear a headcovering in this century as an christian. I started covering my hair the next day, and when I went shopping, I felt so protected and beautiful and it reminded m, that every step I take is guided by God. I think you should follow your feeling and forget about all the things, people might think about it, because what really counts is Gods opinion. Have you been covering your hear since the time you posted this? I think the main thing is, that you have to feel beautiful and you know the reason why your doing it, so when somebody asks you about it, it doesn't matter to you. God bless you. kathi

Katie Stockton tbh, I felt the SAME WAY! I am actually from Texas and was actually drawn to the idea of tichels by my husband. I have totally fallen in love with them... not my own doing I don't think, I truly believe God had a hand in that. I think the best thing you can do with this, "opinion", "mind block" whatever you want to call it; is to PRAY PRAY PRAY about it until you get an answer, or your eyes are open and your heart is softened to the idea. 😊
