I’m autistic and highly anxious, but non-religious, I like wearing head scarves / hair coverings both because of the sensory protection and the anxiety relief I get
It makes me feel safe and calm, so I enjoy wearing them
Same
May I ask you, how does it help with anxiety relief? I am not autistic but I have such bad anxiety that it’s kept me home. Is it the feeling of the wrap on your head or does having the wrap on make you feel more confident?
Thank you in advance. I am trying to place an order for head scarves as I’ve been drawn to do it for so long but I have scalp sensitivities and I’m not very confident in myself as a person
❤️❤️❤️
@@masuganut2082 some have said it feels like a gentle hug; or even like the hand of G-d was gently resting on the top of their heads, like a blessing.
@@thekingsdaughter4233 that’s beautiful ❤️
Yessss it can be sensory heaven, like if I don’t like the feeling of my hair on my head I just wrap it up. It doesn’t move it doesn’t get in my face, I love it. It’s also like a little safety blanket. Today I wore it tied with long ends hanging down the side and I kept hugging them and like holding them cause they’re my cozy little blanket
It's my hair and I can cover it if I want to. When I was a child, ~1960's, most women wore head scarves and no one had to explain why they wore one. Women wore one to protect their hair. My 92 year old mother wears one to keep her head warm in the winter. They make me feel pretty.
+Carol Shumaker Yes...they did wear scarves about 4-5 inches wide, after folding and also having a tail hanging over one shoulder. Also wore triangles tied in back at the nape of the neck. They were fashion then....esp. at art school I attended.
Carol Shumaker thank you
Yes as a baby boomer in the US I wore them growing up in the 1960's so did my mother. I believe the younger generation doesn't remember that.
Yes, You are right. In the 70:sin Sweden, when i was a kid, we wore triangular shaped head-scarfes called "Hilka". You could put in all your hair, or leave some hair hanging in the back. All the girls did this, and the older women to. It was a spring and summer-scarf. In the winter it was mostly knitted hats.
Headscarves used to be completely normal in most of Europe until the 1970s and are still worn in rural areas especially in Eastern Europe and in Russia ☑️
I'm non-religious but I like to wear a headscarves sometimes because I find them pretty, warm, and they make me feel beautiful. Kudos to you for speaking on this topic so eloquently! :)
I don't even think it's a frivolous reason for a girl/woman to wear a haircovering headscarf "just" because it makes them feel beautiful... Atleast not in a culture where girls and women are socialized/opressed to the point where they are expected to NEVER feel that they look good enough in their natural looks! Where it's still provocative that a girl/woman says she feels her natural looks are beautiful. Where girls and women are expected/pressured/opressed to wear other sorts of veils that are MUCH more expensive and time consuming to apply, all over their entire bodies -including faces, all over their hair and all of their bodies whenever showing something out in public! ESPECIALLY when all veiling/haircovering hairscarves are given by the (stupidest) mainstream media to extremist female-opressors to use as their marketing places/"symbols" -on girls/womens heads! Where/when girls and womens visual integrity to decide who gets to see/judge on their hair/body parts and when are just handed to extremist female opressors by the media. When/where girls and women are not even seen as capable of owning their own heads... When/where girls and women are still seen as objects, rather than subjects that CAN choose/want to cover their looks sometimes for OTHER/more positive reasons than to please/ease/avoid/not be assulted by some opressive men.
Not when/where girls and women are still seen as trophies for the white knight to win, out on a crusade against Islamists or other opressive men, just to show off how they "have the most beautiful girls/women to show off!" Because they are so honourable under all their layers of beauty veils, so ashamed of their natural looks, blushing and can't take a compliment on their looks at all! As they should be because we all know ONLY THE WHITE GUYS are REALLY beautiful by nature? (Notice the irony in all this and my sarcasm.)
In these socio-cultural circumstances, a girl/woman choosing to cover her hair with a scarf CAN mean taking back visual integrity to her own hair/head/body. And the right to feel it looks beautiful. And to NOT have people/female-opressive culture of male and female white knights be able to see/judge and belittle whenever they feel like it. To keep your natural beauty for yourself whever you wish. You don't have to share it with judgemental white knights, like those rating womens looks on the TV-shows, just to prove something, like how you 're so NOT affected by MASSIVE cultural bullying AT ALL... You could go all the way and post your nudes or show off your boobs just in protest. That sort of protest never changed much. Covering up more of hair/body isen´t seen as a feminist white knight honourable protest, though it CAN be more effective as such than vice versa, both IRL and online. But I digress.
As a black man, I believe that if any woman,
no matter the race, decides to cover their
hair for spiritual or any other reason, it is
a beautiful thing! Keep doing you.👍
Thank you for sharing that. Much appreciated.
I often find one's behavior to be much more offensive than one's clothing. People are too easily offended these days. Thank you for sitting down and speaking on this. :)
+Kara Massey Modesty You're very welcome! Most modesty concepts extend beyond one's dress and actually encompass behavior, as well. That second part is sometimes overlooked, though!
@@WrapunzelOfficialyes, bit as our character changes as we grow in relationship with God, we naturally begin to be more conscious about how we dress, and then we naturally begin to change how we dress.
I am Muslim, and love your video :). Very well said, head wraps/scarves are for everyone. I wear mine like you have yours a lot! At the end of the day, we are all women and we should support one another as a community no matter what background we come from
Well said
Agreed.
My reasons? I have hair, I want it out of my face and off my neck; ergo, a headscarf achieves those things (and does less damage than hair clips and elastic bands). Plus, it covers grey roots :) Oh, and it adds a nice splash of colour to balance one's clothing.
A perfectly acceptable and practical reason. Wear them in good health.
Kshni, thank you! I'm doing this for the same reasons!
Come to think of it, haircovering headscarves - both turbans and many other styles - are one of the most diverse practicies still nowadays. SO MANY different groups who wear it for just as many different reasons/different symbolic meanings! Western media post 9 /11 only portrayed the practice to be appropriate for muslim girls/women who are opressed to wear them. But apart from opressed and non-opressed veiled muslims there are several jewish and messianic jewish groups (some of them wear face veils and burqa-like black veil outfitls aswell!) and many christian of different churches (both orthodox who wear large white veils) and protestant Lutheran (stylish, often silk satin headscarves to dress up for massive church seremonies) some catholics, some asian churches, Sikh men and women (sikh teen girls and women get the option of wearing eather turbans or the "muslim-style"/more "feminine-looking" long and flowy veil-style), mandai' men and women (the followers of John the baptist, who wear white turbans and veils and often compared to baptist christians), ALL the countless smaller religious minority groups who also don these types of clothes (especially in or originating from India) plus the recent movements of "back to our folklore roots" who reclaimed both aprons and practical-but-pretty flowery styles of haircovering headscarves that most european women used to wear in the last century... The list can go on and on and on and will probably go on eternally...
I'm a Christian and recently felt lead to start covering and was honestly a little worried about this subject. Thank you for this!
Thank you jesus another christan praise the Lord ☆♡♧
@@sisterinchristourlordandsa3193 I too am a Christian who covers. Head covering is in the bible so I do it.
I too am Christian and consider myself Judeo Christian. I felt the Lord lead me to covering recently and it is beautiful to me!
Historically Christian women covered their hair during church or times of prayer it is in the bible
I started in October. the Lord also lead me to cover as well months before.
I am going through menapause and my hair is very thin I love to wear scarves it really makes me feel lovely .
me too
I had a complete hysterectomy at 23 and am now 41 and though my hair is long it has severely thinned out mainly on top and I get braids and also wear my hair up a lot and decided that I would love to start wearing a head wrap because when I don't have braids of some kind I am very embarrassed by my hair and I think head wraps are beautiful
Really, I'm menopauseing also, for 6 years now. I go through hot flashes. My hair only fell out during it and I had to cut it short plus I seem to be alergic to it on my face. Constant inching and annoyance. I'm still menopauseing however, in one area it lessoned. On another a new alert ☺️ came which happens. I have 3 fibroid timers on my uterus. The wrap on different cultures look different. I would not ever go for the big turban the Arabic man wears. What you sad about covering hair in cultures. India young girls wear their head and face covered, saying I'm not married. The married woman who is India doesn't. Ok, there are cultural reasons however, it depends to me what style. I respect cultures. India, NO I WOULD NOT. I'm Naples, Italian. We are romance people. We show our beauty in dressing, cooking, celebrating, dating, entertainment and that's a talian🍕🍤🥤🍺☕🥂🍷🏟️🌌🎄🎯🎹🎶🎷🎭💰💌⚔️🛡️⚜️✝️♣️🇮🇹. And the country of people back then who always seem to love to start wars 🏴 Greece
You are wonderful , a wonderful speaker, a warm soul, a beautiful person. A blessing to us all. Thank you for making this video and helping me know the right words .
I'm nearly 43 and have also been experiencing thinning hair. While for me it is genetic as well, wrapping my hair has helped me feel secure in my appearance and mental health. Wrapunzel helped save my confidence and self- respect. I volunteer with Relay For Life (American Cancer Society) and have taught women how to wrap all because of this amazing company and their fantastic products.
I wear headcoverings as a Christian, and I sometimes find it difficult to explain it to people. Your calm, friendly approach is very encouraging, especially from the standpoint of being informed with its historical usage in certain areas! What a wonderful/helpful example! Thx, Wrapunzel Ladies! #wrapunzelution
+Haydonspeaks: the Interesting Socks Broadcast So glad it was helpful for you!!!
I love the idea of head covering for a multitude of reasons. I am of Arabic decent and have been skeptical to wear a wrap since I lost my hair to Alopecia Universalis. I have worn wigs for over a decade, but have been inspired by the beauty and practicality of wearing a wrap to keep my head warm and look pretty. I stumbled across Wrapunzel while researching alternatives to the lack-luster, flat doo-rags I slip over my head and only wear in my home. I want to go out in public, but the fear of reprehension triumphed my desire for beauty and practicality. After watching just about all the Wrapunzel videos and receiving a response from Wrapunzel to my questions of how to wrap a bald head and have volume, my eyes, heart and spirit were opened up to a fabulous alternative. Thank you so much for this video and dissipating my concerns of being offensive if I wear a head wrap. I am VERY EXCITED to be in the company of women around the world whom wrap their heads for infinitive reasons that express their culture, religion, medical and personal choice. I see I am in great company and will wear wraps with confidence. Thank You for the support in my decision to wear wraps in public.
This is why Wrapunzel is so wonderfully beautiful. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I am a Christian woman who has felt the Lord lead me to head covering, 1 Corinthians 11, and found these beautiful scarves and how you tie them. I had read that snoods and tichels were Jewish, and did not want to offend or at the very least confuse. I also did not want to limit myself to bandanas and hats. This video helped me a lot! Bless you for making it!!!
so amazing testimony🌸🌷🌼🌻🌺
hi! i am jewish but i was raised orthodox christian and i can absolutely confirm that christians can wear headscarves, and it’s common for orthodox women to wear them! enjoy your headcovering!
Women wore snoods during the Civil War era.
I love this....don't care if it's 7 years old. A year or so ago I stated wrapping my hair for protective reasons (My hair snarls and breaks so easily, just best not to wear it loose too often). I recently discovered how I could incorporate more elaborate and/or colorful wraps and I've been eating up Wrapunzel videos ever since. So glad I found this even though it never occurred to me that someone would think head wrapping was just for one group. I grew up seeing ladies do it all time in the small town southern black community I lived in. But then we moved to Germany and I saw older German women, and Turkish women of all ages all wearing head coverings. Eastern European women too. Back in the states (Kansas) I saw many conservative Christian women with hair coverings and then in Ohio, I occasionally saw Amish (or Mennonite) women with hair coverings. Eventually I moved to New York and I saw lots of Jewish women covering their hair and African women too. So all my life it's been an inclusive practice. Yes, I could see how someone could practice cultural appropriation and include a wrap in that action---but the head covering itself doesn't belong to just one group. The presenter said this beautifully, so I'm not really adding anything. I just wanted to cast my voice into the void. All the best, tg
What a great post! My hair is nothing to write home about, breaking more now. So I started wearing a scarf with undercap. Looked better, kept my head and neck warm. I wear a long Israeli style tichel. I don't tuck in the back, I like my neck covered too, unless the weather is hot, then I'm tying it all up on top.
I go for chiffon in neutral colors, sold by hijab websites. They are inexpensive, durable, breathable, you can dress it down and polish it up! If it's really cold I will wear a pashmina, fur, or a wool hat.
@@wandah9468 I started wearing my hair tied back in silk scarves to sleep a couple of years ago because my hair was breaking and because of newly acquired physical disabilities I am now very limited in what I can do to take care of it. Now that I’m finally managing to get out of the house I want to wear my scarves out in public but I’m still gaining my confidence. I love watching this video because it is making me feel a lot more compliment about wearing scars in public.
For anyone who’s having trouble with hair breakage I recommend wearing a real silk scarf, or silk cap to cover your hair and that will help both to protect your hair from other fabrics that might dry it out or damage your hair. The silk also helps transfer your natural oils from your scalp to the length of of your hair and it’s amazing how soft my hair is now when I wear the silk scarves. The biggest bonus for me is that despite having oily scalp my hair doesn’t get as dirty and I can go for days, sometimes even a week, without washing my hair. This is huge because recently I needed a care provider to assist me with washing my hair.

Chemo has taken my pretty hair. So I'm getting into the wrap of things to keep my head warm and feel like I got something there.
I'm 30 and loosing my hair, it makes me feel like I have hair again.
What a lovely, candid video 😊 I’m non religious but I started to wrap recently and it has been one of the most beautiful experiences ever. My two best friends happen to be 1 Muslim and 1 Black Caribbean and they both cover their head most of the times. I have suffered from alopecia since a young age and many days I feel a bit upset with the look (or lack of look haha) of my hair. Also I’m Colombian and my grandfather was mixed raced (and recently discovered my black part of the family came from Guinea), and finally I have a significant amount of Lebanese in my DNA. So it might have been ALL these reasons together that have always made me attracted to head covering. Both my friends have always encouraged me to go ahead and none of them have EVER found it offensive (all the opposite!). I only regret not having started earlier! Also I live in London in a very jewish + muslim neighbourhood and I haven’t got anything but compliments 😊 There are SO MANY different and extremely valid reasons to do this! Thank u all, amigas!
I wear head coverings because I like them.
Me too
Yep!
I agree with your views on cultural appropriation 100%! I honestly feel like covering is practical, beautiful, and should make a comeback. Great video :)
I can see how it isn't right to wear an Indigenous feathered head dress but that is a totally different thing from a woman wearing a tichel or hijab or head covering.

I think as long you understand the cultural, asthenic, or spiritual reasons behind why you're headwraping it's fine. Only you have to know why you wrap your head. I'm a Black American and culturally black women in America wrap our heads to protect our delicate hair in cold weather because its prone to breakage, and to honor the women who came before us. During the slave trade black slave women were required to cover their hair with a piece of fabric by their owners as a part of their uniform and because white women didn't want their husbands to become intrigued with the black slave women's coarse hair texture. It was also utilitarian because they didn't have time to care for their hair and wraps protected it from the hot sun and other elements. We now use what was meant to subjugate us to beautify ourselves. Different women do it for various reasons. As long as you know your reasons it's nobody else's business!! 💖
Im losing all my hair and I've been looking up tons of videos on head wraps. My thinning hair makes me insecure and id like to cover it. Don't care who has what opinion! Thanks for all the women making these videos! I needed it!🤗
I am in the same boat! It really helps with confidence!
I love this video. I don't know why I am drawn to covering. I feel it's mostly spiritual but I also like the idea of doing it for my marriage although my husband would never ask me. I think it shows respect. So glad I'm not alone 😀
+Leah Singh You are definitely not alone, Leah! Our community is full of women who cover their hair for an infinite number of reasons! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Leah Singh I feel the same way
Orthodox Christian and Catholic women too! Also Mennonites, Amish and other sects of Christianity, and women who just want to be modest.
This is a wonderful message for all women that choose to wrap/cover.
Thank you ...I was struggling with this issue...wondering if I would offend anyone since I am not Jewish, Muslim, African, etc., yet feel a spiritual pull as I read and learn about wrapping ones hair. I am so grateful to the Wrapunzel Ladies for helping me and others , I am sure, to feel comfortable exploring these feelings.

I love your videos 😍 I'm Ashkenazi Jewish and I just ordered my first tichel and snood. I feel even closer to my ancestors already.
Lots of Christian women wear headscarves as well.
True!
Nuns' habits specifically come to mind.
Yes it's catholic tradition to your not ment to prey with out a head covering even if it's just a veil as a women
Praise the Lord ♡
@AsiA I. Christianity is world wide as yeshua {jesus } declared it would be ¤
I wear a wrap when I'm circus performing because I don't want my hair to catch on fire! I greatly appreciate all the diverse women sharing their reasons and methods with the world.
Very good reason!

As a Christian woman of age, I have always struggled with wearing a chapel veil. I have "big" curly hair and I constantly have to keep adjusting it to keep it from falling off. It became so frustrating, I stopped wearing it. However, I feel like I am violating sacred tradition by not covering my hair/head. I have been struggling with what people might say if I start to wrap. But, I am getting closer. This was a very informative video. I wish you would do more like this. By the way, the Wrapunzel products look awesome and very beautiful. You would be my "go-to."
The head band alone would help with the slippery. I have thick hair and my scarves never wanted to stay on
lots of ladies I know had cancer and it really helps them feel beautiful
I have an autoimmune disease, not ALL of my hair has fallen out but its extremely thin.... also its limp/dry/brittle and breaks off. It can't be fixed either without cutting it off, I don't want to cut it off due to beliefs..... with modesty being important as well it just made more sense to cover my hair. Makes me feel beautiful and I don't have a really thin mass of dried out disgusting thin hair in a ponytail as the only way to deal with it. Wigs itch when you have thinning hair, and tend to break it off.
Christian women have worn headcoverings for two millennia. I'm old enough to remember having to wear a hat or scarf at church as a child. It has only been since the late sixties that most churches abandoned the practice. Some modern Christian women continue the practice, some full time and some just for worship services.
Iam Muslim and I wear tichel because I don't have to stick only in one style.
Iam eclectic and I believe that cover head is universal call for women.
We have the same Lord.
;😉🐸🌸🌼🌹
You go sis! I usually wear just a typical style hijab, but I've started to go out wearing tichels around my non-Muslim family to get them used to the idea of something covering my head. Alhamdulillah we relate so much to Jewish and Christian women in terms of our required dress. Salaam!
Ana H I'm a Noahide, which means I worship G-d minus idolatry and follow many tenants of Judaism, including attending a local synagogue where we are discussing conversion. As a formerly non-religious person, my only exposure to head covering was the muslim hijab, so when I wanted to show my new devotion to G-d, that was what I wore for about a year before learning about other styles (it was all VERY new to me). I was really shocked at how different ethnic groups started being more respectful when the same people had once looked at me with suspicion, and how many Americans were either very respectful (especially men - I used to dress pretty slutty and the respectful difference in their looks felt amazing!) or very rude. It is indeed all in one's personal convictions and reasons. Though I have gone down another spiritual path, I'm very glad to have had the experience that taught me to cover my hair. The feeling and lessons I get from it wouldnt have made sense to me without the actual experience. G-d bless you (and others stepping out to try the many styles), and shalom.
Heather Galvan Shalom Sister, you have such a beautiful experience, Iam so Glad for your path and discoveries. Iam absolutely sure that you really met G-D Our Creator. Thank you so much for taking time and sharing your experience with me. Iam not orthodox at all, and pretty much think about that G-D is the same in our religions, I am from Brazil and I ve been also studying so many religions trying find Him Almigth. I define myself this days like monotheist, My path is not strictly "Islamic" . I consider myself a Muslim, but I would like to learn and understand what other people believe, because there are many versions and Revelations. Ill be glad in listening any suggestions, if you want share, This days Ive beem busy because I have a baby, so don't worry if I take long to reply...thanks a lot and have a Nice day and a Blessed New Year. Shalom . Assalamaleykum.
Catelynn Irene true!
Thank you :)
LOVE that you remarked on the 16th C. head coverings in England! I portrayed Catherine of Aragon, Henry Vlll's first wife, and I wore a beaded snood, and a Spanish Gable~ALWAYS had my head covered as Queen! Awesome that you mentioned it!
+Victoria Howard Glad you appreciated the reference, Victoria!
You are so Sweet! It isn't our responsibility to educate people. When I first began wrapping some one asked me if I had cancer. People don't ask why we were earrings or high heals!! Bravo to anyone who is strong enough to wrap and feel beautiful!!
Thank you for this great video. I'm a former chemo patient and found my wig too itchy, so I went to headscarves. I mainly learned wraps from hijab turban videos, learned about volumizing (or creating the impression of) hair, had positive feedback from everyone including my hijabi neighbor. I never got accused of appropriation, thankfully. I am now making wraps for other chemo patients and this video settles my concerns. In my mind, whatever makes you feel good through chemo - do it. Unless it involves religious garments as Halloween costumes, of course.
Oh man, I think I could have been found guilty of that black veil bride look at one Halloween party... I found out itś common both in some ultra orthodox jewish groups in Israel and the US and some very conservative or Islamist Islamic groups, but not in the european country where I live...
I absolutely love this video. For whatever reason people are becoming more disrespectful or questioning cultures, religion, etc. . . . One day things will be better. God bless
Arternischel Haney Thinking about wearing a turban today for my first time. I think they are beautiful. And I hate my hair. No style to it. 90% of the time, I buy ponytails. May get some weird looks when I do wear my turban, but I don't really care. My kids are biracial and I use get rude stares, but I didn't care, because my kids are gorgeous.
I know this is an older video, but I want to thank you for making it. I've been thinking about this very topic and I love headscarves and how beautiful they are and how Rich and elegant they look on all the beautiful women who wear them. My hair is going gray, there's a pandemic on, I work outside in the garden a lot and my frizzy flyaway long hair will never stay out of the way even when it's put up or pulled back. A headscarf just makes sense to me, although I've never seen a middle aged white woman with freckles wear one...but if it helps me, makes me feel good and I'm not looking to offend anyone or hurt anyone or take significance away from anyone else's reasons for wearing one, why not? Your explanation of this has helped me so much. I'm grateful to you and also appreciate you sharing a bit about your reasons for wearing one (I had no idea other cultures used headscarves or what the significance was) Again, thank you.

In my faith I am basically only required to wear a head covering if 1) I happen to be taking the lead in worship, AND (not or) 2) there is a man or men present. Even then, any hat appropriate to the occasion would suffice.
This is very rare for me. In fact, for me, it has never happened. I have never been in a situation where I was required to wear a head covering because of my faith.
I am a white, Christian woman.

I have been under general anesthesia four times in the last six months, had parts that were vital to my health removed, and all of this after years of chronic health problems. Also in the past year, I have been the major caregiver for my mother who was in need of almost constant attention, and who is a terrible patient.
I am okay now. I'm stable, I have great medications, and I'm feeling almost normal
Mom's okay too.
My hair, on the other hand, is an absolute wreck. I cut most of it off, because it was falling out and, quite frankly, looked more disrespectful, if that's a thing that hair can be, long and scraggly and, just out of control.
I cut 18 inches off of my hair over a period of six weeks. I finally got it to a point where most of the garbage was gone, and I still had enough hair to work with.
The problem is that in order for my hair to look, again 'respectful', it required rather a lot of product and heat. So then the hair that I was able to save was getting trashed faster than it could grow.
I'm hairdresser. Both my mother and my father were hairdressers before me. I was literally raised in the salon. I know a bit about haircare.
Still, I was at my wit's end.
So, of course, I turned to Pinterest. Looking up natural hair care, I came across all sorts of information on wrapping hair. It's entirely possible that Pinterest thinks I'm black. (The other thing I spend a lot of time on Pinterest looking at is African fashions. They’re so pretty!)
Anyway, terribly terribly long story made only marginally shorter, I started wrapping my hair.
As I stated I'm a white girl, very pale, with blonde hair, and blue eyes. I also am very nearly six foot tall barefooted. And I have a bit of a shoe fetish. I don't leave the house in less than four inch heels.
I am very hard to miss.
I don't blend well.
You know I did my research before I left the house.
-----
I'm lucky enough to have a very diverse group of friends. I had plenty of black women, American, African, Haitian, and otherwise, that I could turn to and ask for information about possible offense I might give. I don't have a lot of Muslim friends but I have several doctors who are Muslim, both men and women. They too were willing to give me their input.
I had lacked the Jewish viewpoint. Ya’all were the only ones I was still kind of worried about offending.
As a Christian, I am well-versed in the religious reasons for your hair covering but I was unsure of the cultural aspect of it. I am truly grateful to you for making this video, in particular, as well as all of the other videos you’ve made. I can now wrap my head proficiently, in a fashionable way, and comfortably, without the stress of worrying that the sight of me may ruin somebody's day.
Thank you so much.

I think it's true of the majority of white American, Christian, or otherwise, women that we would PREFER to not offend when we can. It's sometimes hard to accomplish that. And we're grateful for any help we can get.
Also, my hair stopped falling out! Yea! It's working!
Now I’m just addicted to wrapping.
Camera Shy Coco I love your story. So much!
Thank you for your post! I'm 64, and my hair had started to break faster than it was growing. I'm taking supplements from Miami MD to help my hair to grow back. I have enough to tie it into a bun with a volumizer scrunchie. I anchor the scarf to the bun after setting the style. Mostly I will wear some form of tichel that covers my neck. If it's really cold, I'll wrap a pashmina hijab style. Nothing cuts out the icy wind like a good hijab wrap.
More often, I'm using a polyester chiffon scarf in a neutral shade. They're breathable, durable and I will yank fairly hard, and very easy care. Put in a delicates bag, wash and dry!
I've only been wearing publicly for about a month, and the weather is cool. Maybe, next summer I will put on a wet chiffon scarf, see how that works for me!

Head wrapping is one of the things I'm really looking forward to getting back to post covid-19. I've had no place to go where I felt the need to do my hair for 2 years! I mean, I'm kind of a shut-in anyway, but this is ridiculous.
My hair grows a lot. And pretty fast. When it's doing well. It is doing well now. I have grown and cut off another 18 inches over the past couple of years, and have plenty to spare still. Age and hormones are making it harder to deal with, as there are textural changes and the like, but on the whole my hair has recovered. And head wrapping is at least half of how I came through the bad times with my hair intact.
The other half is biotin, whatever brand or source you have, and protein. I recommend looking at your protein intake. I have been steadily on the biotin for 5 years or more, and that's made a huge difference. But if I stop eating a diet rich in protein, very quickly I notice a difference in my hair. I have way more fallout when I'm not eating a lot of protein, and the quality of my hair, the texture and the look of it, really changes within a few months of dietary changes on my part.
Scientifically, that shouldn't make sense. There's very little aside from cosmetic differences that you can make to hair that's already grown, as hair is not a living thing. But my experience is that my hair looks and feels healthier when I'm getting more protein in my diet. And it looks and feels kind of gross when I'm not.
Anyway, I hope that your supplements and the head wrapping are able to help you have the hair that you want. But take a look at your protein. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I can tell you that they always recommend more for men than for women. For myself, I need to at least eat what is recommended for women, but I do much better if I'm doing the higher end of what is recommended for men. That's me, and your mileage may vary, but it can't hurt to try.
I recommend Premier protein shakes. They're widely available and have a good amount of protein. Also, they're not entirely gross.
Good luck!
@@camerashycoco Oh, wow, you know that might be it! I can digest a limited amount of protein at any one time. I can have a nice steak, or bacon and eggs, but it cant be the majority of my diet. It sure as heck cant be every day! The biotin come as a coating on some vitamins I've taken. I do Irwin Naturals Living green, women's formula, and I know the men's formula works great too!
As for scarfs, the neutral colors work the best for schlepping around. With the colorful ones, it's easy to have a circus going on, on top!! Great party hat but if you just wanna blend in, those soft colors work perfectly!
@@wandah9468
Yeah, I absolutely can't eat meat everyday.
But I can't eat eggs everyday. I could eat eggs at every meal. I really enjoy my eggs. But eggs can be high in fat content. I generally do half whole eggs and half just egg whites.
Beans are of course an excellent source of protein. Do you like hummus? If you check the label carefully, or make your own, you can get some good protein there. I'm a fan of all sorts of beans personally but I think hummus is for the birds.
Yeah, beans, legumes, nuts, greens of all sorts, avocados, even your basic russet potato can all be good sources of protein. I'll let you do your research there. I think it's just good to be aware that you need a particular amount of protein and keep track to make sure that you're getting it.
I did look at the Irwin's. I think it's probably a good starting point. I mean, at a glance, I didn't see anything problematic there. But for comparison, on the biotin, I take two 5,000mcg caps daily. (I take it in two doses because I seem to absorb it better that way.)
For me, when it comes to supplements, I do better with a targeted approach. Because I already don't absorb nutrients well, I do better if I take higher doses, of fewer items, spread over a longer period. But that's me.
Nutrition is very much an individual thing. What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. If you hear nothing else that I've said today, hear this - people on the internet don't know what they're talking about when it comes to Your nutritional needs and Your health. They think they do, and they will tell you that they do, and they may even have good intentions, but they're full of it. Don't take the road laid down by The Good Intentions Paving Company.
And I will now step off of my soapbox.
P.S. - Your coffee mug is the best coffee mug ever
+Nar (Naomi Rose here) Thank you!!! We have a motley collection of mugs and this one (a gift from a good friend) is one of my faves :)
Haaaahhaaaa Yes, my mind
Beautiful video. Thank you! I am an LDS woman and have felt the call to cover. There are a growing number of Christian feeling the call!
i shaved my head a few months ago and i just started using headscarfs. i love them they make me feel so cute and give me some more confidence
This makes me feel so much more comfortable wearing my scarves. I never want to offend anyone or hurt anyone by my practices, but covering my head is my own personal spiritual symbol and makes me feel so much more confident in myself and my beliefs. It is wonderful to hear the difference really explained and reminds me that my spiritual practice is just as valid as everyone else’s even if it’s not as common💗
Come to think of it, haircovering headscarves - both turbans and many other styles - ARE actually one of the most diverse practicies still nowadays. SO MANY different groups who wear it for just as many different reasons/different symbolic meanings! Western media post 9 /11 only portrayed the practice to be appropriate for muslim girls/women who are opressed to wear them. But apart from opressed and non-opressed veiled muslims there are several jewish and messianic jewish groups (some of them wear face veils and burqa-like black veil outfitls aswell!) and many christian of different churches (both orthodox who wear large white veils) and protestant Lutheran (stylish, often silk satin headscarves to dress up for massive church seremonies) some catholics, some asian churches, Sikh men and women (sikh teen girls and women get the option of wearing eather turbans or the "muslim-style"/more "feminine-looking" long and flowy veil-style), mandai' men and women (the followers of John the baptist, who wear white turbans and veils and often compared to baptist christians), ALL the countless smaller religious minority groups who also don these types of clothes (especially in or originating from India) plus the recent movements of "back to our folklore roots" who reclaimed both aprons and practical-but-pretty flowery styles of haircovering headscarves that most european women used to wear in the last century... SBNR (spiritual but not religious) groups and some pagans...The list can go on and on and on and will probably go on eternally...
It's never offensive if it's for the right reasons. eg.modesty, honour
I started covering my head because of 1 Corinthians 11 when Paul is talking to the church. I have long hair and I do truly love my hair but when the significance of covering my "glory" was opened up to my eyes it was something I had to start doing. And I live in the US where this is kinda frowned upon as being legalistic so it was incredibly uplifting when I found wrapunzel and learned some styles where I could go in public and still look nice while doing what I spiritually knew I needed to do. Praying for the wrapunzel ladies and all our eyes and wars to be opened as only The Ruach Hakodesh can do!
You know, maybe this frowning upon veiling in western culture has something to do with pride in/of this culture? That people who are rich in money or beauty or any wordly glory are expected to "flaunt it"?
that's terrible! I went thru something similar and I love my head covering! I get so much stigma and people in my community often just assume that I'm Muslim but a tichel is very different than a hijab in look but now that I've started covering my hair in my church I can't live without the peace I get from it!
Love love love this!!!! Rastafari women cover their heads too. Just like you mentioned about royalty, women covering their head just look like queens! Thats their crown! Also, some rasta women from the bobo ashanti tribe wear their coverings as veils because they point to the ground, as a symbol of their ministery with the Earth. Sikh women are also another group of queens that are pretty rad and fascinating!
Thank you for teaching me some about this culture! It was very interesting, I will definitely research this cool culture some more! 😁💗
I don't owe anyone any explanation...it's my life..
I’m always surprised when someone is angry at me for wearing a hijab and covering my hair. I get equally upset when someone who covers their hair gets angry at someone else who also wants to wear it?! Why don’t people just mind their own business lol
This.
I agree
I'm not religious but I did have a dream where I was told to wear one, and since then I've always been more comfortable with one on. I feel a little exposed when anyone can see my shoulders, legs, and hair. I feel safe covered up. (I also burn really really easily, like ten minutes outside and I'm red)

I had a bad PPD reaction from hair color and felt like the color in my very long hair was poisonous to my body and so I had my husband completely shave my head. However, prior to that event I was growing tired of being defined by my hair, not only by myself but by friends who admired my then long tresses. The act of having my head shaved was very humbling and emotional for both myself and my husband. I got a pretty wig, but I knew it wasn’t really a part of me and is uncomfortable and I had a true urge to cover my head with cloth. I’m deeply religious and yet belong to no denomination. I can’t explain the wish to cover, I just know I should, and vanity or beauty have nothing to do with it. Thank you so much for your video because this issue was concerning me even though it is in my own heritage to cover. I’m so grateful to hear what you had to say on the matter. 🌷
I'm Jewish and I wear the tichel all the time (cuz I'm Jewish) but anyone can wear it. Some people are just dumb lol smh
I'm christian and I've recently felt I should cover my head. The Bible (New Testament) says a woman should do it when you pray or prophesize, but I pray very frequently. It's also been a symbol in my marriage that I accept my husband's authority as spiritual head of our household. I'm glad you made this video because I've had a few people comment on whether or not I should/could
Thank you for addressing this topic. I want to cover my hair and didn't want to offend.
Thank you for covering this topic. You did an excellent job of explaining why some people might think it could be offensive and how being armed with information you can educate others. I love Wrapunzel!
Thanks so much!
I have a mohawk. When I fast or I go to church, I like to wear one. Sometimes I just wear one because my mohawk gets a bit funky. My ancestors were Jewish and Kurdish. I spent some time studying the culture of my ancestry. I do it because I feel beautiful. I do it because I sometimes need to feel a bit more feminine. I do it because I received a beautiful scarf from the middle east and wanted to wear it correctly. I've been wearing different scarfs since I was 17. I'm 25 now. I love that my husband likes when I cover my hair.
I love headcovers so much. They make me feel beautiful and confident and happy and that’s something I’ve always wanted in my life but I’ve struggled a lot with

Thank you for your thoughtful video. Your points are presented well and with compassion and kindness.
Women also wear hair coverings for practical reasons i.e. to keep their hair clean and out of the way when working or to keep warm in cold weather. I’m 67, I’ve been wearing head scarves on and off since I was at least five years old. In my youth, Roman Catholic women were required to wear a head covering in church and we often chose scarves for simplicity and comfort. Women in general often wore them when they went out for one reason or another but you don’t see that so much these days. It has never occurred to me that it was a problem. That being said, I would not choose to wear my head scarf in the specific way that particular Muslim women wear their head scarves outside of visiting a mosque, where it would be appropriate. (I have visited a local mosque and it was really touching when one of the women fixed my head scarf for me and took me under her wing, they were so sweet.)
Women all over the world throughout history have worn head coverings. Sometimes it’s for specific religious or symbolic reasons, sometimes it’s practical, sometimes it’s decorative. There’s lots of commonality in how they wear them with perhaps a few exceptions. It has never occurred to me that it would be necessary to do any research about why I wear my scarf the way I do but I suppose if someone’s inspiration comes from a group or culture not their own, doing some research first is probably a good idea so as to not unwittingly give offense.
I’m 67 years old. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought that a woman would worry about whether it was okay for her to wear a headscarf in a common way or that someone would find it offensive if she did.
Excellent video. I love that those connected to Wrapunzel help in a wide range of ways
Before Vatican II women had to cover their hair in church. Here in Ireland women did it for years and some old women still wear headscarfs/shawls
Thank you so much for explaining this. I adore headscarves, I think they are beautiful and my hair is falling out these days. I would be heartbroken to wear one when I have no right to and also to have no leg to stand on when explaining why I might wear one. Your explanation makes perfect sense and echoes how I feel personally. It is especially meaningful to hear this from someone who wears one for cultural/religious reasons. Thank you!
Lynn, maybe it's the shampoo with sulfate my hair used to fall out but now it don't fall at all

I've been wanting to get into veiling in my Pagan practices. I'm Norse Pagan and I want to show to my gods and goddesses respect in their presence in my witchcraft. I've been looking into it for a long time but was always unsure how to go about it. Thank you so much for this info and video
I love your outfit! Cozy, modest, and pretty all in one. :)
I am a Caribbean women and wearing a head scarf is something many women do in my culture. For whatever reason I always felt like someone would ask me why I wore one, especially because I recently moved to San Diego, CA and there are not many Caribbean people here. Most of the women I see wearing a head wrap are Muslim. For awhile I questioned if it would be appropriate to wear one but after watching this video it made me feel so much better. I am happy that I can wear my head wrap and proudly represent my culture and roots without feeling shy now. Thank you so much for sharing this video!
I emailed you guys yesterday about this concern. Was given the link to this video and I’m so thankful.
Thank you! 💛
A wonderful and thoughtful video, thank you. When I fell ill some years ago and lost all of my hair, it depressed me and made me feel even worse than just being sick. Covering my head gave me back my confidence and made me feel beautiful again.
I unfortunately live in a small town where people are extremely hostile to anyone they even suspect may not practice Christianity specifically as they do (I do not follow any religion) and must wear wigs to work. But truthfully, when I wear my scarves, I feel like a beautiful queen!

Thank you for making this video. I have covered for 3 years now and often times I am asked why I cover. For a while I really had no idea as to why I was called to wear a headcovering. I knew what it meant to other people, and above all respected the practice, but those reasons had no hold over why I choose to do it. Three years later, I can honestly say it is a practice for myself. It is a way for me to claim my own beauty, share myself with the world in ways that I choose, as a way to express my love for my Gods, Honor my family, Wrap with others in mind, my wrap is a personal journey and the meaning becomes my own each and every day. Thank you for all the work that you do with wrapunzel and for sharing your insights and thoughts on this topic. Truly enjoyed watching this video.
Very excited to have found this channel and your group! I'm a Luso-American woman in her 40's who simply *adores* draped clothing of any kind, on anyone for any reason. I've taken to wearing sarongs/pareos simply because they are more practical than skirts. I'm also under five feet tall, and I got tired of buying new pants every time I gained or lost a few pounds. Just getting started on the headwraps and you ladies are positively *gorgeous* in your simple or elaborate styles. Thank you for posting!
Thanks so much for touching upon this topic. It is most important not to offend anyone. I believe each culture of the world has a unique beauty and personal value that is such a treasure and a pleasure to share. I thank God for this community of uniquely and wonderfully made women doing what women do best....sharing their beauty in fashion, inspiring each of us to see our own uniqueness and with sincere kindness. Well done!
I am Catholic, and I'm starting to wrap my hair because of the pandemic.. I also have deep respect for women who want to be modest in this culture no matter what the religious background is. The head wraps are really very pretty and very feminine. Wish me luck! I don't have a lot of hair my hair is short.
I'm Catholic too,and agree with modesty. My hair is long,thin,and very straight. Peace be with you!
I'm Christian who covers. If you find that your wraps slip, try a velvet headband or a shaper with attached velvet headband if you want to do the more elaborate wraps.
I've never thought about the personal hygiene aspect of it. I have very long hair and I can see why it might be a better idea to cover it in something washable
I'm not especially religious but I cover my hair when I go out for Many reasons: cold in winter, heat and A/C in summer, Wind at the beach and ofc the pandemic. I think it's more hygienical and honestly It feels nice and protective. I cannot think of those women Who go out in polluted places and then go to sleep without washing. My hair Is very long and wavy. Since I cover my hair gently without making It too tight It got so much Better! I really don't care what others think and they surely think where I live 😆
I love this video. Thoroughly spot on!
Thank you so very much for addressing this issue!
Excellent discussion. Thank you for posting. I've covered my hair for years, since it gets very dry very quickly and will break off if exposed to the elements for too long. As a rule, I don't have to explain myself. But completely off topic, I have to say I absolutely love your coffee cup!
i love covering, Dunbar..my family name as well
Great clarity & useful. Thank you.
Thank you!! Coming from an observant jewish woman i now feel more at ease wearing the headscarf while im not jewish. Im christian but i simply love these beautiful wraps❤🎉. I enjoy the colours, creativity, modesty and the femin feeling of it😊. I will wear my wraps proudly thinking of my jewish sisters. 😊
Thank you for this video! I appreciate you telling me about it when I stumbled upon one of your videos on tic tock. I have many scarves that I have gotten because I think they are beautiful, but have never worn them out of fear of offending someone. I am so excited to pull a scarf out of the drawer tomorrow morning and try a wrap for the first time ever!
I truly appreciate the points you raise in this video. Head coverings are so beautiful and it is such a disadvantage to have to see all of the other women of the world who have inherited exclusive practices. Head coverings and wraps really are universal.
I had worried about this for a little while before I started to cover my hair. After much consideration and actually researching into all the different reasons people wrapped their hair I decided to give it a go.
Being a larger woman I always felt ugly. Literally always. Wrapping my hair and putting it up makes me feel pretty, which I can say never has happened in my life, and gives me a boost of confidence I hadn't realized I'd been lacking.
I am not doing this for any religious reason but because of how I feel more myself, more than than I ever have, when I have a hair covering on.
My apologies if my statements have offended anyone.
We don't find what you wrote to be offensive at all!!! Gaining confidence from head covering is a gift that all can enjoy! :)
Don't apologise! If someone is offended by your comments then that's their problem 💜
They are beautiful and I think they bring the focus toward a woman’s face. Thank you for this video as I, a woman in her 70’s who is losing hair at a rapid rate, like to wear a head cap when cooking for sanitary reasons but would prefer to wear something all day some days to feel more beautiful. I do love how beautiful the Israeli women look in their head wraps and it inspires me which is why I am here. Shalom❣️
I am B’nei Anussim descendent and I decided to come back to my Hebrew roots being religious and wear a headscarf as well. I love my tichel ❤️ thank you for this very informative video ❤️
I am an atheist woman and when I was young I always liked to wear head scarves, bands, hats and berets. Even now that I am 62 I still love to wear all these things. I also like to wear flowers, like the famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (I'm Latin American). I find the way Orthodox Jewish women wear their headcoverings especially beautiful. I'm glad I saw your video, thank you for speaking about this.
Thank you for this video. I have a stress related obsessive self soothing thing where i break my hair off at the roots. I dont even notice that i do it. So wearing beanies was my way of stopping it. But having hot summers didnt work. So I just tried my best not to do it. Recently i found that someone wrapped there head because it protects their energy as an empath. I tried it at home and it made me feel better. And it was less hot for summer. But I have been struggling with feeling comfortable wearing it out and about. I live in South Africa and being white i really do not want anyone to think i was being disrespectful or appropriating anyones culture. I love the african prints some scarfs and wraps come in and my opinion when wearing them would come of appreciation and awe at the beauty. I want to do more research before i wear them. But other scarfs, yes. It makes me feel more than beautiful, its true that it give one a sense of regal queen vibes.
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for the acceptance from you and your company. I love wearing a headscarf. I've had to shave my hair several times, for medical reasons, and I cover my head to simply look, and feel better. Xoxo
Thank you for explaining that. Makes me enjoy this so much more.
well said, well thought out.
A lovely, comprehensive posting. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching!
So beautifully stated!
Thank you for this video. I have been doing so much research on head wrapping because I sincerely think it is so beautiful and would never want anyone to feel hurt or offend by me wearing one. I feel more beautiful and like my head wrap is a protection against negativity. The way you explained it really has given me confidence to wear my hair wrapped out in public.
What a lovely and thoughtful video. Thank you for sharing this.
You're welcome, Jaime! Thanks for watching!

This video eased many of my concerns about my desire to wear a head covering. As I watch more videos on wrapping my scarves, I was amazed to find that Jewish women wear head covering (tichel). I was raised Methodist in a predominately Jewish family, and I never knew this
I am coming over from leorah and i find this Video so so helpful. Thank you for being so Kind explaining
When I first putmy Tichel on I was afraid to go out. But when I did no one recognized me. Maybe that was a good thing. As a Christian growing up we always covered our hair for service. And now that I'm older I feel I should give more acknowledgement to my faith and cover more often.
Thank you for this video! I don't have religious reasons for covering my hair, but a lot of people don't understand that, so it's comforting to know other people have the same problem and/or are willing to offer advice on how to respond.
Thank you so much for this video. I've not had anyone say anything to me about wearing a headscarf, but now I know how to explain my reasons without offending anyone. I certainly wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes, but also don't feel I should have to apologize for wanting to feel beautiful.
Thank you for speaking about this. I am new to hair wrapping and really appreciate this.
