Strange maybe to comment here as I am...but by even this video I can sense you treasured "your growing up years" in your western Siberian environment. Even as harsh as it must have been very often on many levels. I see a connection in this video and others you have posted in basic things you do, clothes you enjoy wearing, their specific feel, a texture, the colors and designs, as well and especially the subtle, yet very personal significance of meaning each seems to resonate in you, and how it comforts, seeming to give a sense of pleasure like hearing a bird chirp in the outdoors perhaps after a heavy snow and a cold winter as Spring, which hasn't shown itself, but the bird that catches your attention has noticed already is coming. Those seem to catch your notice about life in a myriad of ways as your thoughts ponder in the moment in real time you seem to savor. You can often see it in a very small glow in a smile as you speak in a video post, or seen in your eyes. It is refreshing to see and hear your videos. I suspect if you wore a clown's red bulbous nose in a video for fun (not a request)....your freshness of seeing - moment as you see the world about you in that moment would be just as endearing to many. It has been a pleasure for me to binge on nearly all your posted videos these last few days. I have learned much about myself that enjoyed coming to the surface. Although..as a male scarves are not my thing 🙂..but have had special keepsake of various things I have, a shirt, my Dad's pocket watch, that make me as well feel good to wear (the shirt)...not for others but what it brings to my own core of thoughts. Thank you for that pleasant video posting. Stay safe and well...and continue to be that warmth and pleasant light in your videos, and in your world. It's kinda special. You wear it well! Have a pleasant week ahead, 👋 look forward to another video post going forward.🏆👍
Thank you for sharing your special items - the shirt and the watch. They do carry a meaning that is often lacking in the mess of our everyday life. You're so kind to me 🌻 You too, have a beautiful week!
@@anagoldberg thank you, and thank you for the reply...this week may be a better week for me just knowing I connected to another via a kind word and thought exchanged. 👋
You look stunning wearnig these headscarves, Ana! 🤩they suit you very much! But the green one (the one you are wearing in this video) is the best! I remember around 2004-2005, headscarves were very popular and you could see them on almost every girl's head! I had a light purple one and I liked it a lot 😄
I would love to wear a headscarf but don't think they suit me, I shall experiment again. You wear them well and make it look so easy. Have a beautiful day Ana x
Ana, you put a smile in my heart with this video! Scarves are one of my favorite accessories. I go through periods when I wear them everyday, at other times I don't wear them as often. Depends on my mood. I know from my own experience that I feel most calm, grounded, confident and beautiful when I wear a head scarf. It feels like a crown. I live in a cold, northern climate so I wear mostly cotton or wool scarves. In the heat of the summer scarves keep me cooler than wearing my hair down. When the weather is hot I wet my hair and wrap it up inside a scarf. The moisture from my wet hair inside the scarf keeps me cool all day. Like my own, personal air conditioning. I love experimenting with different wrapping techniques. I have found that most people comment that it must be complicated to wrap a scarf. It however, is very simple, and always looks beautiful. Thank you for another inspiring message. Hearing from you brightens my day. Sending you much love and strength.
Oh, I'm so glad to read you enjoyed the video and that we both share this headscarf passion 😊 I never knew about the wet hair trick! Will have to try it, although my hair might be too short for that:) I can so relate to your feelings about headscarves... Thank you, my friend 💙 Sending you lots of love.
For having been a re-enactor for more than 20 years and having read and written on this so much... covering head is really not only religious / cultural ! The first reason why a woman would like to cover her head would be for protecting her hair, so it's mainly fonctionnal : when you don't want to have / show dirty hair because it was not that easy to wash them ! No shover, no shampoo, it's possible to wash hair of course in lots of different ways, and I don't say that people from antiquity and middle age were not washing their hair, but just it was way more difficult ! So you would protect them from dust, smoke while cooking in open fire, smells of cooking, all that can happen when working outside also... and it would protect also from heat or cold, as the MA veils were often made of thin wool ! It can be helpfull to use head covering, and knots, plates etc. to keep hair clean longer and be more frugal on shampoos ! Then it also was a way for some fashion, fancy, showing oneself wealth etc. Women and their bodies are not just a place for religious or cultural fights, it's also a fonctionnal and working body... from a deep rooted atheist.
I loved this video! I wear a scarf in my hair almost every single day. It has also become a part of my personal style and I enjoy it very much! Thank you for this video. ❤️
This was so interesting, Ana. I love wearing silk scarves around my head in winter and cotton ones in summer. I almost always just tie it as a triangle, either beneath my chin, in winter, or behind my hair, with shorter scarves. I’m keen to try your style!
Hi Ana, thank you so much for your video. Your headscarves look beautiful on you. You have given me so many ideas. I have very fine short hair also dark brown. Like you was using henna but have decided to stop for now. I have more grey than brown. After a loooooooong think, I have decided to transition to grey. The inbetween stage is, always the hardest. I have been using all my spare yarn, cotton or wool. Three or four strands and knitting headbands. My favourite pattern for now is from knitting patterns galore chunky cabled headband free knitting pattern. Its, a great way to use up small amounts of yarn. I think it would look lovely on you. It is very cold where I am, so maybe a bit warm for you now. A headband or acarf makes me feel more confident, as my hair is so fine, and difficult to style. Thank you so much for sharing. I love the two bandanas together. Take care Gale x
Hi Gale! Oh, I know, the in-between hair stage is the most challenging! I remember it so well when about 3 years ago I grew my greys out 😊 Wishing you patience, my friend! And thank you for the pattern suggestion, I'll give it a try! Sending you much love 🌺
I have a different problem [ ? ], at 81 yrs. of age, I still have very thick hair which I gave up on and grew out. I braid it down the back and my head is never cold. Anything snug on my head almost gives me a headache. We are all different which is what makes life interesting. You are beautiful inside and out, wear what pleases you.
Hello dear Ana ! I love this video of yours (as usual 😊) and it makes me want to try it ! It fits you so well, you're very beautiful with or without scarf ! À bientôt, I qend you a warm hug 🌿🌸🦋
I always admire your headscarves. Like you I've worn them for years, again to control unruly hair. Mine is thick, headache heavy when long. I wear shorter cuts, but then all my cowlicks (what are they called in Russian??? ) stick up in the air or they stick out sideways. 🤣 Scarves get everything under control.Also, I need a little feeling of pressure on my head to feel less anxious due to autism. I sleep in a cotton knit cap & silk scarves to feel "safe." I can't wait to try your 2 color bandana technique - probably today!! ☺️💖
I find a little pressure around the head soothing and comforting too and in winter, I sleep in my hat sometimes 😊 I've always loved that vintage type of night/sleep caps. Hope you'll like the 2 bandana outcome, dear Ann! Sending you love 💜
Hi Ana, I loved this video, and especially watching how you tie the scarves to style them! Your favorite scarf is my favorite! It looks great on you! I am trying to figure out the best way to style my straight, long hair . I want it to be simple and inexpensive, but attractive too.You have given me some good ideas to experiment with! Than you for the inspiration 😊
I am saving this video, because I've wanted to wear scarves, wraps and bandanas, but wasn't sure how to tie them. Thank you! This video is very helpful! Also, I stopped coloring my hair a few years ago, and love my gray.
That was really interesting. Now I understand why my husband wears a basebal cap all the time, habit and possibly a sense of security. I'll stop nagging him to take it off LOL. Have a great day!
I love your headbands and thanks for the tutorials I will try! I can't seem to be able to keep anything in my hairs, it all slides!!! so I'm very interested in trying !!! Thanks for sharing! xx
I don’t cover my hair yet but once married I plan on wearing a tichel instead of a wig. For me, it’s a religious observance since I’m an Orthodox Jew. When I wear hats and scarves now it’s purely for style and/or when it’s cold out.
I love your headscarves. I’ve recently been experiencing with knotted headbands as a form of religious head covering. I don’t wear them all the time, but on the days I do, I feel more feminine, protected, and set apart.
Your head wraps and scarves look beautiful on you! I however can’t stand anything on my head! It’s irritating and itchy no matter what it is made of. So I use a hooded jacket with a loose hood when it’s really cold. I do love neck scarves though.
I love that you gave us a little bit of cultural and historical reference! I am wearing a head scarf today myself 🥰 I usually wear it as a “headband.” I am trying to remember if you did a video on dying your hair… I’m grey / white now and stopped coloring two years ago but have an interest in coloring my hair again. A video on how you color if you haven’t done so would be amazing. Even if it’s just for Patreon. Have a lovely weekend, Ana (and Brian)!
Glad you liked the video, Kelli! No, I haven't done any video on coloring my hair but will probably do something on Patreon, thank you for the suggestion! Natural dyes are a pain to use but the hair is so much healthier after them. You too, dear friend, have a beautiful weekend!💜
@@mammaditobia I think it makes me look older. I get asked a lot if I’m a senior citizen and I am not ready for that as I’m not a senior citizen. I do like the white streak in the front but think I’d like to color the rest.
I have always things on my head when I go outside. In summer I have to wear hats with a rim to protect my eyes. In winter I wear woolen hats that I crocheted myself. I line them with cotton (a piece of an old t-shirt) because my skin doesn't tolerate wool. Because I won't stoke my house warm (16°C) I wear hats inside also in the cold season.
I would be interested to see a video on your hair routine, if you don't have one already. I also have short, dark hair that is starting to grey. I don't want to get in the habit of using chemical dyes, and I'm curious to know how you maintain such a lovely color. Thank you for always providing such lovely content!
This was fun to watch! I think you look great in the head bands and head scarves. I wouldn't look that nice in one, bur I wish I did because they do add a lot of interest to a wardrobe. I hope you grow your hair out so we can see the natural color. I'll bet it will look great with your skin tone and dark eyes - AND your headscarves!
Ana, your channel has become my favourite for so many reasons. Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. You have a gift of anticipating what our questions to this video might be. Including the artwork, the quick history lesson on the wearing of headscarves and providing the dimensions of the various scarves you use really added a lot to the video. You may very well start a headscarf wearing trend; not everyone can carry this off and your style is so much a part of who you are. Thank you, thank you and hugs from Canada.
I throughly enjoyed this video, I love scarves but I must wear them in the colder weather as I use them around my neck and bottom half of my face. I would love to protect my head as you do, however I am a lot heavier than you and I feel as if I am about to explode when I have tried to use scarves and hats. I must stay hidrated and tend to use shade. Our summers are well over the 40⁰ during months with up to 96% humidity sometimes.
@@anagoldberg Me too, I adore spring and autumn, Winter is fine as one can always put more layers on. However in the summer, once the clothes are off the only remedy is dampening the skin with water and letting it dehydrate, especial while trying to sleep at night. When my grown up son was a baby he slept in the cot on a large rough towel and in the summer this was cooler than a sheet as the sheet is fine and sticks to the body, a heavy old towel, does not. 😉
I love head scarves and such. Barrettes and bows don't always look good on elderly ladies, imo. But scarves, headbands, etc. always seem to look more fashionable or refined. And one can dress them up or down. Thank you for your tutorial! Love to see your ideas! I love green as well.
Fabric was very expensive when it had to be made by hand starting with planting seeds or feeding lambs. Makes sense that only rich people were allowed to dress that rich way. It would be like showing off.
I was just thinking a few days ago about your scarfs and how you wear them. I now know how you do it and let me tell you that really suits you. My mother also wore them sometimes and looked good on her. Thank you
I love that you are so creative with your fashion style. I love wearing headpieces and snoods. They add style while being useful. Your head coverings just showcase your beautiful face and personality. Be well!
Hi sweet Ana, here I am with my headscarves! Having dreadlocks, I think headscarves give an happy and alternative style to my hair, and also they help hiding my white hair in the front, and all the baby hair leaving the right place while dreadlocks are growing 😄 I love headscarves on you, it's another little thing we have in common 💚
Hello, dear Chiara! I'm so glad to know we share the same love for headscarves 😊 Dreadlocks must be such fun! I've never had them but was always interested. Sending you much love 💙
Hi Ana. I've been a headscarf person since the 80s... I ve been known to put all sorts on my head including leg warmers (80s!) to leggings... Thank you for the lovely demonstration 💕
I have been wondering how you style your headpieces for months! So glad you made this video. I've been experimenting and figured out two of your techniques, including the double bandanna innovation :). Now I have more things to try! Thank you.
I am always overwhelmed by your natural beauty ❤️ спасибо тебе огромное за твой content. I strangely feel as if you were my family. Я не могу объяснить либо описать это чувство ✨
Thank you so much for making this video! The way you tie your scarves is so creative and I appreciate you demonstrating how you do it. The paintings between each chapter are beautiful. And I loved hearing about the history of scarves and will check out the articles you provided. I normally wear my hair short, but I have let it grow out to shoulder length. This video may inspire me to go back to short hair again. I have a lot of scarves, so I will try some of your techniques. Thank you again!
I🇩🇰👋 very inspirational video that I enjoyed watching although I don’t wear scarves/headbands myself because it’s too hot for me. You fold the scarves so intricately! I actually did try scarves for a while using cotton/linen material which works perfectly for clothing for me, but was still too hot. Perhaps it might work for the winter season in Denmark ? 😉
Just a few weeks ago I was playing with a scarf to emulate your wonderful style! I thought to ask you how you did it, so I am happily making mental notes from this video! I have loved wearing hats and scarves all my life. I have made hats & plan to make many more, for myself and for sale. I have ideas for making unusual hats out of used clothing, wish me luck! You always look lovely & enchanting, your personal style is captivating and unique. I know we've spoken about henna+indigo before. I'm still using it for now as I am only halfway grey. I am going on holiday this week, I look forward to wearing a scarf "Ana style" for the hot weather there. Paka paka! :)
Wow, wishing you the best of luck with your hat-making endeavor! It sounds fantastic 😍 After our last talk about henna, I actually decided not to give up on natural dyes and managed to find really high quality henna and indigo in Tirana which gave much better results:) Hope the holiday will be relaxing and fun! Sending you love 💙
You look adorable and amazing. Love that style on you . you look very classy. I am in the process of letting my hair grow a little bit and trying new accessories like head bands. I will be great if you can sell your online. Thank you for sharing. Really love it. ❤
I live in an area of USA where it is very, very hot climate from June through end of September ot even into a few weeks in October sometimes. Temperatures have been in the mid to high 90's and hovering around 100 degrees. Not all areas of USA have this weather temperatures but where I live it gets hot like that for certain months of the year. We only use Fahrenheit temps in USA. and not Celsius temperatures. So when I go out, to walk to bus stop, etc. I always wear a baseball cap. However, my baseball caps are soft colors, i have a pink one and another one with pastel, light blue and pink colors together on the cap. They are very pretty. My baseball caps are also made with small little holes on the top of the cap so it is not so hot to wear them and more breathable on your head.
I love your headbands which suit you so much. I do not generally wear hats or scarves as I don’t think they suit me. I would like to try your headband though as this looks like a good compromise. I have shoulder length hair however so it may not be as effective as with your short hair but I will have some fun experimenting :)
I saw a brief clip of you with your grey hair and thought you looked lovely. It looked soft, pretty and flattering to your skin tone and eyes. It doesn't matter what colour it is though as your beautiful nature shines.
Hi Sweet Anna. I loved this video. I want to try your bandana tie idea. I love wearing headbands, hats, etc. I get overheated easy so unless its cold weather can only wear one layer fabric. Sometimes I modify clothes and use the extra fabric for a make shift headband. Or just an elastic ribbon from the craft store. Its a lot cooler. I really like your “favorite” plaid scarf. I have one similar in cotton with lots of purple. I wear it in cold months often. I will think of you now when i wear it. I pray you have peace this day. 💕 Love, Vee
I have been wearing for religious reasons. I don't like saying that though because people have funny ideas about what that actually means and in my brain it's not like that. God dosnt ask us to do things that are bad for us. For me it's an act of surrender and obedience to God and its up to my husband to surrender and be obedient as God instructs HIM to do it, i think the busy body nature of humans is more harmful than the actual religious act of head covering if that makes sense. Anyway, now that I've been doing it i like it. I feel safe and protected and somehow more feminine. It hides my hair on bad hair days and sometimes I don't wear it at all either. But i like the fabrics and colours a scarf can add to your outfit as well. I have quite a few in my collection, i even managed to thrift some silk ones..
Ana, You are a wizard at tying those head scarves! You are so skilled and creative at it! Thank you for such an enjoyable vlog. It was such fun to watch you do something that seems so natural to you. I was really impressed that they didn’t come loose even though the fabric was merely tucked under itself. Wow!
Last time I managed to find henna and indigo at a store in Tirana (Albania). They are always sold in Indian stores and there's a huge selection on Amazon.
I have just been reintroduced to dyeing. Can you tell us about the cloth and dyeing process? I am 100% with you on natural fibers! I am so sensitive to everything synthetic.
Hi Kami! I used some random dye that I managed to get in an art store in my Siberian city, it wasn't natural as far as I remember but it adhered to the fabric really well and never bleeded. The fabric is one-layer thin muslin. I want to try natural dyeing soon! It's such a fascinating process.
@@anagoldberg I loved the richness of the deep blue color. It’s nice to know it did not bleed. Color bleeding is truly a dilemma. Thank you for sharing your process.
So interesting. You look like you in a headscarf! 🙂 And now, I'm interested in the natural hair dyes. I'm especially interested since you said the dye encouraged hair growth! As I'm getting older I'm losing hair so maybe this would be a healthy option for me. I loved the art interludes and music. Your editing and creation of your videos are soothing and beautiful.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, Marilyn! Natural dyes make the hair strands thicker but they also stops hair loss that often accompanies chemical dyes. At least it was like that for me.
The ladies at Wrapunzel have some very good tutorials on headscarves. I wear one often, especially in the winter. I often find it just keeps my hair tidy and out of my face, but have also worn headscarves daily for religious reasons.
Such a coincidence that I read about Wrapunzel for the first time when making this video! The company was mentioned in one of the articles I've linked in the description section. It was so interesting to browse through their website. 💜
@@anagoldberg I have bought a lot of scarves from them as I really like the Israeli tischels (with the metallic threads) for summer as they are really lightweight cotton material. I love your idea for tying the two scarves together.
I would love to to try the henna and indigo as my hair needs thickening Ana. Is there a brand you recommend? You are lovely. I wear head scarves also as i live in the desert and it's very hot in summer and cold in winter. Thank you for the styling tips. Sending you and your husband much love.
Hi, Patricia! The recent henna+indigo brand that I managed to find here was Indus Valley Bio Organic. It turned out to be of really high quality! I've been following Henna Sooq channel on RUclips for a while, she has great tutorials and tips and also offers products for sale. The reviews are really great. Hope this helps! Sending much love to you too, my friend 💜
I’m so glad you made this video. I commented to my husband that I particularly loved the scarf with pink in it that you were wearing in a previous video. Thank you for giving me a closer look at it Ana 💕and if you have any additional information on it please share 😉
I think if you search for the definition of the word "elegance" in the dictionary, there might be a picture of Ana next to it 😌 Loved the video Ana! It doesn't matter if you speak about something heavy or something lighter, it's always interesting and wholesome! ❤
Hi Ana, so interesting and I hadn’t realised how used I have become to seeing you in a headscarf. I never wear them myself, I cannot get them to work for me, but I use my hair in a similar way as a comforting thing. I am only comfortable when my hair covers my ears and the back of my neck.
Yes, it’s so interesting, Ana, how individual styles emerge! I, for example, wear the same couple of outfits all the time (I own them in several copies). Totally like an anime character :). This way I am being ‘myself’ to the maximum, and feel much less drained of energy when being out and about. For example, I always wear a cotton beret with my 2 braids hanging down. And that takes only 4 minutes daily in front of the mirror, instead of 1 hour of struggling with kinky hair previously! I found this elegant solution almost 20 yrs ago and now , when the grey started popping up all over my head, I feel even merrier. No need to figure out one more nonsensical problem. Thank you, Ana, for this video. The way you folded the forest green bandanna (white lettering appearing at the very center) was cool!
I loved the tutorial! I have a new way of making a headband! I have a huge collection of scarves - mostly vintage - and many are like works of art. In summer I wear a bandana headband that I have soaked in water (wait 'til menopause...you will understand why!). I try to wear a scarf around my neck but can only get away with it on very cold days in winter. I am going to try your tricks, and really brighten up my wardrobe. ❤️
Thank you for this video. I was sad today and it made me happy. I too like to cover my head. In the sunnier 3-5 months I wear brimmed hats, and in the colder 5-7 months I wear knitted hats. Then there is only 3 weeks in spring and 3 weeks in autumn, where I can't wear either
Hi Ana! I loved this video, thank you very much for filming it! I like wearing scarfs around my hair, but there is a little problem that keeps me from doing it more often... They simply won't stay in place! They start slipping back through my head. Anyone else has the same problem? Would you or some kind reader give me some advice? 🥲
Hi Saga! I think, if you have longer hair, like at least shoulder-length, it can be more challenging to keep the headscarf in place. Or it can be the material too: rougher textiles (not viscose, silk, or polyester) are more "adhesive" 😊
@@anagoldberg Thank you Ana! Yes, I think the fabric might have something to do... Almost always I have tried with silk. I will try coton and linen next time 😊
More than anyone I know, you epitomize the truth that beauty comes from within. You shine. Your hair could be gray or green; it wouldn’t matter. You just radiate who you are. Love and hugs.
Thank you so much for your kindness and light, dear Ginger 💜 Sending you much love!
I completely agree with you
Agree with this 100%!
Love your headscarves and the way you style them. All of them look great on you!
Thank you so much, Miriam 😊
You look like a young Audrey Hepburn! Your hairstyle really suits you. I love scarves ❤

6:12 Headscarf tided up very strong around head helps with migraine because it changes blood pressure around skull.
This is so great to know! Thank you.

I loved this video! I wear a scarf in my hair almost every single day. It has also become a part of my personal style and I enjoy it very much! Thank you for this video. ❤️

The triangle scarf style is such a timeless, elegant look! Love it too 😊
Ana, you look lovely with the headscarves. My favorite one is the dark green one. It really suits you.
You're so sweet, my friend. Thank you 🌺
Hi Ana, thank you so much for your video. Your headscarves look beautiful on you. You have given me so many ideas. I have very fine short hair also dark brown. Like you was using henna but have decided to stop for now. I have more grey than brown. After a loooooooong think, I have decided to transition to grey. The inbetween stage is, always the hardest. I have been using all my spare yarn, cotton or wool. Three or four strands and knitting headbands. My favourite pattern for now is from knitting patterns galore chunky cabled headband free knitting pattern. Its, a great way to use up small amounts of yarn. I think it would look lovely on you. It is very cold where I am, so maybe a bit warm for you now. A headband or acarf makes me feel more confident, as my hair is so fine, and difficult to style. Thank you so much for sharing. I love the two bandanas together. Take care Gale x
Hi Gale! Oh, I know, the in-between hair stage is the most challenging! I remember it so well when about 3 years ago I grew my greys out 😊 Wishing you patience, my friend!
And thank you for the pattern suggestion, I'll give it a try!
Sending you much love 🌺
I have a different problem [ ? ], at 81 yrs. of age, I still have very thick hair which I gave up on and grew out. I braid it down the back and my head is never cold. Anything snug on my head almost gives me a headache. We are all different which is what makes life interesting. You are beautiful inside and out, wear what pleases you.
I admire your long hair, Judy! It's such a precious beauty. Sending you much love 💜
Hi Ana loved this video you are so creative ❤️ for religious reasons I wear head coverings every day lol 💖🇮🇱❤️
Hi Sharon! 💜 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Ana ... you look beautiful with your head scarves. Also love wearing scarves .
Hello dear Ana ! I love this video of yours (as usual 😊) and it makes me want to try it ! It fits you so well, you're very beautiful with or without scarf ! À bientôt, I qend you a warm hug 🌿🌸🦋
I hope you'll enjoy trying the headscarf/headband thing! You're so sweet 😊 Sending you warm hugs and love too, ma cherie amie 🌺
Enjoyed this Video, I always learn something from you. My friend, stay grounded.
I always admire your headscarves. Like you I've worn them for years, again to control unruly hair. Mine is thick, headache heavy when long. I wear shorter cuts, but then all my cowlicks (what are they called in Russian??? ) stick up in the air or they stick out sideways. 🤣 Scarves get everything under control.Also, I need a little feeling of pressure on my head to feel less anxious due to autism. I sleep in a cotton knit cap & silk scarves to feel "safe." I can't wait to try your 2 color bandana technique - probably today!! ☺️💖
I find a little pressure around the head soothing and comforting too and in winter, I sleep in my hat sometimes 😊 I've always loved that vintage type of night/sleep caps. Hope you'll like the 2 bandana outcome, dear Ann! Sending you love 💜
Love you right back! 😻💖
Hi Ana, I loved this video, and especially watching how you tie the scarves to style them! Your favorite scarf is my favorite! It looks great on you! I am trying to figure out the best way to style my straight, long hair . I want it to be simple and inexpensive, but attractive too.You have given me some good ideas to experiment with!
Than you for the inspiration 😊
Aww, I hope the experiment will be a success, Anne! 😊💚 Thank you so much for watching
@@anagoldberg ♥️
Love your color choices. I've never had anything on my head except a cap in the winter, but after this video I'm inspired to try it.
I hope you'll enjoy it! Headscarves are fun 😊
I am saving this video, because I've wanted to wear scarves, wraps and bandanas, but wasn't sure how to tie them. Thank you! This video is very helpful! Also, I stopped coloring my hair a few years ago, and love my gray.
That was really interesting. Now I understand why my husband wears a basebal cap all the time, habit and possibly a sense of security. I'll stop nagging him to take it off LOL. Have a great day!
I love your headbands and thanks for the tutorials I will try! I can't seem to be able to keep anything in my hairs, it all slides!!! so I'm very interested in trying !!! Thanks for sharing! xx
I don’t cover my hair yet but once married I plan on wearing a tichel instead of a wig. For me, it’s a religious observance since I’m an Orthodox Jew.
When I wear hats and scarves now it’s purely for style and/or when it’s cold out.
I love your head scarves!
Thank you, Debbie! 💚
I love your headscarves. I’ve recently been experiencing with knotted headbands as a form of religious head covering. I don’t wear them all the time, but on the days I do, I feel more feminine, protected, and set apart.
I wear scarves quite a lot but only round my neck, I used to wear them on my head in the 1970s but found them very hot.
Your head wraps and scarves look beautiful on you! I however can’t stand anything on my head! It’s irritating and itchy no matter what it is made of. So I use a hooded jacket with a loose hood when it’s really cold. I do love neck scarves though.
I love that you gave us a little bit of cultural and historical reference! I am wearing a head scarf today myself 🥰 I usually wear it as a “headband.” I am trying to remember if you did a video on dying your hair… I’m grey / white now and stopped coloring two years ago but have an interest in coloring my hair again. A video on how you color if you haven’t done so would be amazing. Even if it’s just for Patreon. Have a lovely weekend, Ana (and Brian)!
Glad you liked the video, Kelli! No, I haven't done any video on coloring my hair but will probably do something on Patreon, thank you for the suggestion! Natural dyes are a pain to use but the hair is so much healthier after them.
You too, dear friend, have a beautiful weekend!💜
Hi Kelli, I went grey too and I'm very happy of my choice; can I ask why are you interested in coloring your hair again?
@@mammaditobia I think it makes me look older. I get asked a lot if I’m a senior citizen and I am not ready for that as I’m not a senior citizen. I do like the white streak in the front but think I’d like to color the rest.
I have always things on my head when I go outside. In summer I have to wear hats with a rim to protect my eyes. In winter I wear woolen hats that I crocheted myself. I line them with cotton (a piece of an old t-shirt) because my skin doesn't tolerate wool. Because I won't stoke my house warm (16°C) I wear hats inside also in the cold season.
I would be interested to see a video on your hair routine, if you don't have one already. I also have short, dark hair that is starting to grey. I don't want to get in the habit of using chemical dyes, and I'm curious to know how you maintain such a lovely color. Thank you for always providing such lovely content!
My Aunt always looked so regal in her headbands/turbans! I would wear them for confidence, though they're practical too.🧡
Regal - what a wonderful word to relate to headwear! Love it 💜
Ana, thank you. I have lots of lovely scarves. I will have to try your technique and see if they will stay on.
Safe travels x
This was fun to watch! I think you look great in the head bands and head scarves. I wouldn't look that nice in one, bur I wish I did because they do add a lot of interest to a wardrobe. I hope you grow your hair out so we can see the natural color. I'll bet it will look great with your skin tone and dark eyes - AND your headscarves!
Ana, your channel has become my favourite for so many reasons. Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. You have a gift of anticipating what our questions to this video might be. Including the artwork, the quick history lesson on the wearing of headscarves and providing the dimensions of the various scarves you use really added a lot to the video. You may very well start a headscarf wearing trend; not everyone can carry this off and your style is so much a part of who you are. Thank you, thank you and hugs from Canada.
I'm so happy to read this, my friend! Thank you 💙 Sending much love to Canada!
@@anagoldberg Thank you Ana!
It's a pitty that people in western countrys don't wear hats any more. In summer I
wear a hat. I wear scarf when I have dirty works to do.
I’ve tried using a scarf very tight around my head but placed on the forget and it does help relieve headaches 🤕
Like idea about using two differend bandana together.
I throughly enjoyed this video, I love scarves but I must wear them in the colder weather as I use them around my neck and bottom half of my face. I would love to protect my head as you do, however I am a lot heavier than you and I feel as if I am about to explode when I have tried to use scarves and hats. I must stay hidrated and tend to use shade. Our summers are well over the 40⁰ during months with up to 96% humidity sometimes.
Wow, such hot and humid summers!... Wishing you a cooler and beautiful autumn ahead, my friend! (I personally can't wait for it...)
💚
@@anagoldberg Me too, I adore spring and autumn, Winter is fine as one can always put more layers on. However in the summer, once the clothes are off the only remedy is dampening the skin with water and letting it dehydrate, especial while trying to sleep at night. When my grown up son was a baby he slept in the cot on a large rough towel and in the summer this was cooler than a sheet as the sheet is fine and sticks to the body, a heavy old towel, does not. 😉
I love head scarves and such. Barrettes and bows don't always look good on elderly ladies, imo. But scarves, headbands, etc. always seem to look more fashionable or refined. And one can dress them up or down. Thank you for your tutorial! Love to see your ideas! I love green as well.
Fabric was very expensive when it had to be made by hand starting with planting seeds or feeding lambs. Makes sense that only rich people were allowed to dress that rich way. It would be like showing off.
I love your two different earrings. ❤️
I was just thinking a few days ago about your scarfs and how you wear them. I now know how you do it and let me tell you that really suits you. My mother also wore them sometimes and looked good on her. Thank you
I love that you are so creative with your fashion style. I love wearing headpieces and snoods. They add style while being useful. Your head coverings just showcase your beautiful face and personality. Be well!
Thank you so much, dear Michelle! 🌷 Sending you best weekend wishes
Hello Ana
I looove hats , summer hats, winter hats, large ones . keep me warm and protected.
Hello, Melinda! Yes, hats are such a must for protection and warmth 🌻
really interesting, thank you Ana
I love scarves and always carry one around to cover my head.
Hi sweet Ana, here I am with my headscarves! Having dreadlocks, I think headscarves give an happy and alternative style to my hair, and also they help hiding my white hair in the front, and all the baby hair leaving the right place while dreadlocks are growing 😄
I love headscarves on you, it's another little thing we have in common 💚
Hello, dear Chiara! I'm so glad to know we share the same love for headscarves 😊 Dreadlocks must be such fun! I've never had them but was always interested.
Sending you much love 💙
@@anagoldbergso, as soon as you'll have longer hair, you could start your dreadlocks journey! 😄😄😄
Hi Ana. I've been a headscarf person since the 80s... I ve been known to put all sorts on my head including leg warmers (80s!) to leggings... Thank you for the lovely demonstration 💕
Wow, you have a whole personal history of headcarves, Noreen! 😍 Thank you so much for watching.
I have been wondering how you style your headpieces for months! So glad you made this video. I've been experimenting and figured out two of your techniques, including the double bandanna innovation :). Now I have more things to try! Thank you.
Yay, I'm glad the video was well-timed, Diane! "Double bandana innovation" can totally become the official name for our techniques😊
I use a headband tied very tightly when I have a migraine. It helps. I should try them for fashion as well! :)
I love your headscarves, you should sell them. I normally take a bandana, roll it up and tie it on the top of my head. Your's are much nicer. 😁
Hi Colleen! I love the effortless bandana style too, it always works great with everything 😊
They look so beautiful on you! I love the way you styled them, I could never think of those styles on my own. Thank you sharing 💛
Thank you so much for watching, Stacy! 🌻
I am always overwhelmed by your natural beauty ❤️ спасибо тебе огромное за твой content. I strangely feel as if you were my family. Я не могу объяснить либо описать это чувство ✨
Дорогая Юля, спасибо за такие теплые слова, я очень тронута 🤗💜😘 You're such a sweet and kind soul, dearest friend.
You are beautifull
Thank you so much for making this video! The way you tie your scarves is so creative and I appreciate you demonstrating how you do it. The paintings between each chapter are beautiful. And I loved hearing about the history of scarves and will check out the articles you provided. I normally wear my hair short, but I have let it grow out to shoulder length. This video may inspire me to go back to short hair again. I have a lot of scarves, so I will try some of your techniques. Thank you again!
I bet longer hair looks stunning with headscarves! I'm actually now aiming for at least a short bob 😊
Thank you so much for watching, my friend 🌷
I🇩🇰👋 very inspirational video that I enjoyed watching although I don’t wear scarves/headbands myself because it’s too hot for me. You fold the scarves so intricately! I actually did try scarves for a while using cotton/linen material which works perfectly for clothing for me, but was still too hot. Perhaps it might work for the winter season in Denmark ? 😉
Hi, Anna Marie! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 🌺 Yes, the winter season will be great for headscarves 😊
Just a few weeks ago I was playing with a scarf to emulate your wonderful style! I thought to ask you how you did it, so I am happily making mental notes from this video! I have loved wearing hats and scarves all my life. I have made hats & plan to make many more, for myself and for sale. I have ideas for making unusual hats out of used clothing, wish me luck! You always look lovely & enchanting, your personal style is captivating and unique. I know we've spoken about henna+indigo before. I'm still using it for now as I am only halfway grey. I am going on holiday this week, I look forward to wearing a scarf "Ana style" for the hot weather there. Paka paka! :)
Wow, wishing you the best of luck with your hat-making endeavor! It sounds fantastic 😍 After our last talk about henna, I actually decided not to give up on natural dyes and managed to find really high quality henna and indigo in Tirana which gave much better results:)
Hope the holiday will be relaxing and fun! Sending you love 💙
You look adorable and amazing. Love that style on you . you look very classy. I am in the process of letting my hair grow a little bit and trying new accessories like head bands. I will be great if you can sell your online. Thank you for sharing. Really love it. ❤
Thank you so much, dear Maria 😘 Headscarves are worth giving them a try!
I live in an area of USA where it is very, very hot climate from June through end of September ot even into a few weeks in October sometimes. Temperatures have been in the mid to high 90's and hovering around 100 degrees. Not all areas of USA have this weather temperatures but where I live it gets hot like that for certain months of the year. We only use Fahrenheit temps in USA. and not Celsius temperatures.
So when I go out, to walk to bus stop, etc. I always wear a baseball cap.
However, my baseball caps are soft colors, i have a pink one and another one with pastel, light blue and pink colors together on the cap. They are very pretty.
My baseball caps are also made with small little holes on the top of the cap
so it is not so hot to wear them and more breathable on your head.
Hello, Suzanne! Baseball caps must be the perfect solution for where you live 🌻
I love your headbands which suit you so much. I do not generally wear hats or scarves as I don’t think they suit me. I would like to try your headband though as this looks like a good compromise. I have shoulder length hair however so it may not be as effective as with your short hair but I will have some fun experimenting :)
Experimenting is always such fun! Hope it will work 💚
I saw a brief clip of you with your grey hair and thought you looked lovely. It looked soft, pretty and flattering to your skin tone and eyes. It doesn't matter what colour it is though as your beautiful nature shines.
Thank you for your kind words, Ingrid 💜
Beautiful video as always☺
I love wearing a turban. I sometimes wish I had thick long hair to protect my head but a scarf gives me that feeling💛
Turbans still seem intimidating but I'd love to try them soon! Also, you look truly beautiful in them 😍
Hi Sweet Anna. I loved this video. I want to try your bandana tie idea. I love wearing headbands, hats, etc. I get overheated easy so unless its cold weather can only wear one layer fabric. Sometimes I modify clothes and use the extra fabric for a make shift headband. Or just an elastic ribbon from the craft store. Its a lot cooler.
I really like your “favorite” plaid scarf. I have one similar in cotton with lots of purple. I wear it in cold months often. I will think of you now
when i wear it.
I pray you have peace this day. 💕
Love,
Vee
Hi, dear Vee! So great to know you're a headwear person too 😍 Sending you much love and support, as always 🌺 Hope you're well these days.
Thank you for this video And for how you linked it to your personality but also the cultural and historical references too
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Emily! Thank you 💜
I have been wearing for religious reasons. I don't like saying that though because people have funny ideas about what that actually means and in my brain it's not like that. God dosnt ask us to do things that are bad for us. For me it's an act of surrender and obedience to God and its up to my husband to surrender and be obedient as God instructs HIM to do it, i think the busy body nature of humans is more harmful than the actual religious act of head covering if that makes sense. Anyway, now that I've been doing it i like it. I feel safe and protected and somehow more feminine. It hides my hair on bad hair days and sometimes I don't wear it at all either. But i like the fabrics and colours a scarf can add to your outfit as well. I have quite a few in my collection, i even managed to thrift some silk ones..
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful, spiritual approach, dear friend. I truly admire it 💙
I don't have a comment on the scarves but I do want to say you have really cool eyebrows.
Aww, thank you, Debra 🌷
❤️❤️
Have a great weekend, Ana!
Thank you so much, dear friend! You too 🌷
Ana, You are a wizard at tying those head scarves! You are so skilled and creative at it! Thank you for such an enjoyable vlog.
It was such fun to watch you do something that seems so natural to you. I was really impressed that they didn’t come loose even though the fabric was merely tucked under itself. Wow!
Thank you for watching, Judy! 💙
Where do you purchase your hair dyes?
Last time I managed to find henna and indigo at a store in Tirana (Albania). They are always sold in Indian stores and there's a huge selection on Amazon.
I have just been reintroduced to dyeing. Can you tell us about the cloth and dyeing process?
I am 100% with you on natural fibers! I am so sensitive to everything synthetic.
Hi Kami! I used some random dye that I managed to get in an art store in my Siberian city, it wasn't natural as far as I remember but it adhered to the fabric really well and never bleeded. The fabric is one-layer thin muslin. I want to try natural dyeing soon! It's such a fascinating process.
@@anagoldberg I loved the richness of the deep blue color. It’s nice to know it did not bleed. Color bleeding is truly a dilemma.
Thank you for sharing your process.
You read my mind!
🤗🌷
So interesting. You look like you in a headscarf! 🙂 And now, I'm interested in the natural hair dyes. I'm especially interested since you said the dye encouraged hair growth! As I'm getting older I'm losing hair so maybe this would be a healthy option for me. I loved the art interludes and music. Your editing and creation of your videos are soothing and beautiful.
I think she said it makes hair thicker not makes hair grow.
Dye penetrates and coats the hair strands making them look and feel thicker.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, Marilyn! Natural dyes make the hair strands thicker but they also stops hair loss that often accompanies chemical dyes. At least it was like that for me.
The ladies at Wrapunzel have some very good tutorials on headscarves. I wear one often, especially in the winter. I often find it just keeps my hair tidy and out of my face, but have also worn headscarves daily for religious reasons.
Such a coincidence that I read about Wrapunzel for the first time when making this video! The company was mentioned in one of the articles I've linked in the description section. It was so interesting to browse through their website.
💜
@@anagoldberg I have bought a lot of scarves from them as I really like the Israeli tischels (with the metallic threads) for summer as they are really lightweight cotton material. I love your idea for tying the two scarves together.
I would love to to try the henna and indigo as my hair needs thickening Ana. Is there a brand you recommend? You are lovely. I wear head scarves also as i live in the desert and it's very hot in summer and cold in winter. Thank you for the styling tips. Sending you and your husband much love.
Hi, Patricia! The recent henna+indigo brand that I managed to find here was Indus Valley Bio Organic. It turned out to be of really high quality! I've been following Henna Sooq channel on RUclips for a while, she has great tutorials and tips and also offers products for sale. The reviews are really great. Hope this helps!
Sending much love to you too, my friend 💜
@@anagoldberg Thank you so much Ana. I'll check on it.
I’m so glad you made this video. I commented to my husband that I particularly loved the scarf with pink in it that you were wearing in a previous video. Thank you for giving me a closer look at it Ana 💕and if you have any additional information on it please share 😉
I think if you search for the definition of the word "elegance" in the dictionary, there might be a picture of Ana next to it 😌
Loved the video Ana! It doesn't matter if you speak about something heavy or something lighter, it's always interesting and wholesome! ❤
You're so sweet, dear Lourdes 😊 Thank you for making me smile!
Sending you much love as always💙
Hi Ana, so interesting and I hadn’t realised how used I have become to seeing you in a headscarf. I never wear them myself, I cannot get them to work for me, but I use my hair in a similar way as a comforting thing. I am only comfortable when my hair covers my ears and the back of my neck.
Great video Ana have a great day 😀
Thank you, Liam! You too 🌻
Thanks ana
Настя, я тебя люблю
Я тоже тебя люблю и скучаю ♥️🐱🕊️
Yes, it’s so interesting, Ana, how individual styles emerge!
I, for example, wear the same couple of outfits all the time (I own them in several copies).
Totally like an anime character :).
This way I am being ‘myself’ to the maximum, and feel much less drained of energy when being out and about.
For example, I always wear a cotton beret with my 2 braids hanging down. And that takes only 4 minutes daily in front of the mirror, instead of 1 hour of struggling with kinky hair previously!
I found this elegant solution almost 20 yrs ago and now , when the grey started popping up all over my head, I feel even merrier. No need to figure out one more nonsensical problem.
Thank you, Ana, for this video. The way you folded the forest green bandanna (white lettering appearing at the very center) was cool!
Angelina, your style sounds very unique and effortless 😍
I loved the tutorial! I have a new way of making a headband! I have a huge collection of scarves - mostly vintage - and many are like works of art. In summer I wear a bandana headband that I have soaked in water (wait 'til menopause...you will understand why!). I try to wear a scarf around my neck but can only get away with it on very cold days in winter. I am going to try your tricks, and really brighten up my wardrobe. ❤️
Thank you so much for watching, Linda! Hope the tricks will work 😊
Thank you for this video. I was sad today and it made me happy.
I too like to cover my head. In the sunnier 3-5 months I wear brimmed hats, and in the colder 5-7 months I wear knitted hats. Then there is only 3 weeks in spring and 3 weeks in autumn, where I can't wear either
I'm so glad the video brought you some comfort today, my dear friend 💚 Sending you much love and good thoughts 🤗
Hi Ana! I loved this video, thank you very much for filming it! I like wearing scarfs around my hair, but there is a little problem that keeps me from doing it more often... They simply won't stay in place! They start slipping back through my head. Anyone else has the same problem? Would you or some kind reader give me some advice? 🥲
Hi Saga! I think, if you have longer hair, like at least shoulder-length, it can be more challenging to keep the headscarf in place. Or it can be the material too: rougher textiles (not viscose, silk, or polyester) are more "adhesive" 😊
@@anagoldberg Thank you Ana! Yes, I think the fabric might have something to do... Almost always I have tried with silk. I will try coton and linen next time 😊
