2 Head Wrap Styles for Winter (Protective Styles)

Hey Lovely Maicurlies, 

So this post comes a little late (I am currently sitting in a hotel in Dubai waiting to check out). I wanted to yet again share some head wrap styles! I had posted a few photos on Instagram (yes I am addicted) and was kindly requested to do a demonstration of one of the styles so I figured I would do 2 styles in one video.

2 head wrap styles for winter

In the first example of my video I start of with a messy bun that is covered with a satin scarf first (since the outer scarf I use is neither Satin nor Silk) and then I used the outer scarf.

For the second style I start off with 2 really rough flat twists that I pin down and again use my satin scarf first followed by the outer scarf. 

It is easier to explain in video which I of course have:

I would love to hear if you use scarfs during winter to help protect your hair? 

Thanks

Nefertiti Head Wrap

Hey Maicurlies,

It is another wrap day today! I like to call this my Nefertiti Head Wrap. 🙂

I put  these photos on my Instagram page a little while ago:

From my Instagram Page

From my Instagram Page

and was sweetly asked if I could do a tutorial which I was very happy to do. These are the things I use to do the style:

• A hair bubble
• Silk Satin Scarf
• Scarf/wrap (external wrap)

I have a quick “how to” method in photos:

Bun First

Cover with silk/satin scarf

Then cover with a wrap

Then cover with a wrap

1. I make a bun (mine was a messy bun)
2. I use the silk satin scarf to cover the bun – I use this to help protect my hair from the external scarf/wrap since that is made of cotton and also because it helps to make the wrap appear bigger. 
3. I first tuck one end of the external scarf against my scalp and then wrap upwards, tugging/pulling and adjusting as needed. I then tuck away the other end at the very top and continue to adjust till I am happy. Le fin! 

To make it easier I of course have a video tutorial of the whole process. I also did a little “demo” of the same style with different scarves. 

I hope my IG friend get’s to see this video 😀 and I would love to hear what you all think of this style! 

Thanks

Double Twist Head Wrap

Hey Maicurlies,

Yup, I am back with another head wrap (I am sorry but I am obsessed so you will probably see more of these types of tutorials for a while!) 😀 

It is yet again a really simple and quick wrap that can be done in 5 minutes, who doesn’t like a quick style that also happens to leave your hair protected??? 😀

All you really are doing it covering your hair once with the wrap and then twirling the remaining material to make a fake “twirled rope” stretching them across your head and tucking away the ends. The End 🙂 

I as always have a video tutorial for an easy explanation. 

I have a few other head wrap videos and tutorials: Double Knot Head Wrap & Turban Wrap. Would love to hear what you think!

Thanks

Turban Wrap

Hey Maicurlies,

I have another wrap tutorial 😀 

I LOVE this scarf! What I love about it is that I get to add a little bit of colour to my normal dark outfits without feeling uncomfortable. I am a little shy about adding colour to my clothes but this way there is a splash of colour without making me feel awkward. (I actually have 2 really colourful scarves, I will do another demo with the second one too!) 

This head wrap is really simple to do. You literally will only need a long scarf that is a little on the wide side as well. The longer the better mine is 65 x 33 inches. If the material you are using is neither silk nor satin I would recommend using a silk/satin headscarf first to cover your hair (like I did) and then wrap away. P.s. underneath my satin scarf I had 4 large flat twists. 

It is easier to explain the process via video so please watch how I do my Turban Wrap below.

Like I said really simple to do right? I would love to hear what you think! 

Thanks

Double Knot Head Wrap

Hey Maicurlies,

Soooo today I wanted to share a styling post & video and this is going to be the first of my recent obsession which are head wraps/scarves! 

Double Knot Head Wrap

Double Knot Head Wrap

I have recently fallen in love with wraps/scaves/fabric and started to play around with using them to:

1. Spruce up my outfit.
2. Use them as a protective style by leaving my hair alone.

Now I will state I am NOT an expert, at all! However, I have been having fun experimenting and just trying different styles. 

I always thought “I couldn’t pull off these styles” because in my mind I thought certain faces work best with wraps and that it would be difficult to style however, if I can pull them off so can you! 

I am blessed to be surrounded by a ton of fabric shops, literally every district, town, city here has a TON of fabric shops so I either get them by the meter or I will just pick up some scarves from shops e.g. H&M, Mango, Forever 21 and other local shops too.

Apart from using a wrap because it is pretty, you can use them as a protective style when you don’t want to do your hair, if you are having a “bad hair day” (whatever that means) or perhaps if you are doing a Deep Condition and have to run out the house (yes I have done that!)!

With all that said and done, here is the first of my styling videos using a head wrap/scarf – the Double Knot Head Wrap

 

I would love to hear what you think! If you do wraps please let me know and perhaps provide me with some inspiration for new styles!

Thanks
