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
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.
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 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 ☆♡♧
@@7thgenerationvolva1996 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 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'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.
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
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!
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...
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!
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! 😁💗
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!
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
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.
I love your outfit! Cozy, modest, and pretty all in one. :)
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 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 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 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 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 💜
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.
happy to see people dressing modestly!!
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.
Thank you
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 from Wales in the UK. Most older women wear head scarfs to keep their rollers in their hair. I don't think it's offensive at all - people all over the world wear them for different reasons.
I really love this video and the point you make. The location I live in, despite being HUGELY influenced by the Orthodox Christianity (Russia) is passively aggressive to women wearing headscarves of certain shape. I started covering my hair as I began to study and practice Christianity although these things were not connected directly. I just once felt that for me as for a grownup woman it seems right to cover my hair.
I actually face a lot of questions about the reasons I wear a headscarf, mostly in the University. I used to get disoriented by these questions because I felt like I was faking a Muslin or a Jewish woman while not being one. Now, your video gave me a perfect guide and encouraged me not to feel bad about practicing what I feel is right, yet you inspired me to bear pride in this practice. Thank you so much for this!
🙏🙌 thank you. I love them. I'm totally American now, but I always try to tell myself, my ancestors back in Europe (English, Irish, German, Czech, Serbian, Slovaks, the Austrians, Swiss, Hungarians) all wore headscarves from time to time
So many women have chosen to cover their hair (for all kinds of reasons) throughout time- I think it’s a lovely thing that brings all of us ladies together! It’s good to be considerate of others’ feelings & beliefs (of course!) but it concerns me that the pressure to constantly be “politically correct” is perhaps causing us to be overly-cautious (afraid, even), and drawing us apart as a result (such as someone *not well-informed* scolding another, causing them to feel bad for wearing a regular scarf over their hair). Thank you for sharing your information, helping to eliminate some of those fears and bringing us together (respectfully and stylishly)! 💗
Thank you ever so much for producing this video. I've recently been worried about this topic as I've decided to start wearing scarves. I've been wanting to wear scarves for several years now, but it was when I saw some tutorials from Wrapunzel that I saw this would be a beautiful way to cover my thinning hair that gets frizzy in the winter to the point where I look like I've been electrocuted. 🌿 I've put in two orders to Wrapunzel so far for scarves, and both times I felt excited and happy that fabric so lovely was coming my way. 🌿 Thank you for putting my mind at rest for how to answer people who might take my choice to wear scarves as cultural appropriation. I'll keep this video saved to review as needed. 🌿 Blessings to all.
Have you seen our video "Is it Offensive if I Wear a Tichel?" th-cam.com/video/JK8I7keJzhw/w-d-xo.html
Your link takes me to Naomi Rose's video on "is it Offensive if I wear a Head Scarf." Thank you Wrapunzel and Naomi Rose for making this video. I was a bit concerned, but am now relieved to know I can wear a scarf. I've tried for years to get my hair tamed down, with little success. Now that it's gray, and drier, as well as starting to thin out, a beautiful fabric wrap sounds preferable. Thank you all for making this possible. :) ❤@@WrapunzelOfficial
I watched this year's ago and re-viewed it today. I wrap because after 10 months of chemo, my head hair did not grow back in some places. I don't like hats (even though I wear a sun hat in the garden). So I tried a head wrap. The rest is history, as they say. I have a massive collection and they have become my 'trademark'! I tell people the reason and they are happy with it. I tell them I wrap in the Jewish tradition. I don't hijab or veil for example. I've never felt like I was appropriating the tradition.
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 speaking into this. I live in a very international area. Jewish, Orthodox Christian, Muslim and refugees from MANY countries cover their hair.
I have been feeling lead to wear a head scarf for spiritual reasons. I haven't taken it up previously because of "this topic." My daughter wore a scarf one day and was told by a woman on the bus that she shouldn't wear it. I have a religious background of Ana-baptist= Amish and Mennonite, Catholic, & a nondenominational Christian religion. The Ana-baptist women wear a prayer cap. The Catholic women used to wear veils to church, some still do. The women of the nondenominational religion my parents raised me in would wear hats to church and cover the head during prayer. Thank you for sharing. I will share this with my daughter.
I have always felt compelled in my hart to cover my hair, but have never fully done so to the extent of my feelings. Ive used bandanas and occasional make shift lose hoods from scarfs. And faced harassment from family and friends. Mostly people assume i am muslim or jewish. I am spiritual and follow my own religious path as a mix of hindu believes and old word mother goddess worship. I am so glad i found you. I need encouragement to follow my hart
Watch any film from Ellis Island and virtually every adult, male and female, wore head coverings. For men it was a hat, as with most British women, but central, eastern & Southern European women covered as well, typically with scarves. An ancient practice across a multitude of cultures.
My grandmother never left the house without her small 'namitka' (she was from Ukraine). She even had a plastic one that covered her cloth one when it rained or snowed.
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.
I’m a Christian and God has been speaking to me to cover my crown due to 1 Corinthians in the Bible. Many look at me funny because no one in my church does this. But I got some that love the styles Ive done. I love it !
Same here. Be blessed sister.
I have been looking into veiling/ wearing head scarfs because I am a wiccan and it helps me feel like I am respecting my deities and it makes me feel protected the only thing I'm nervous about wearing one because I'm male I'm not totally sure what to do
I’m a female but that’s also why I wanted to wear one! I wear one on the Sabbats and when i feel particularly sensitive, because i feel like it really helps :)
What a lovely and thoughtful video. Thank you for sharing this.
You're welcome, Jaime! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I never thought about wanting to cover my hair may cause some people to think that I was trying to appropriate a manner of dress or be disrespectful towards another's religion. As you said they are beautiful and I've noticed that I always wear some kind of head covering; I very rarely will leave the house with my hair out. I researched and found that tichels were perfect for me.
great, great talk. for me I am new to covering my hair and I can't say there is a fear or concern but more of feeling awkward. before I bought my first wrapunzel scarf I did do some self reflection as to why I want to do this. I have very long red hair and it has always been my best part of who I am and how I look. However for me it is spiritual. I hope my reason will be kosher so to speak. if not, please gently let me know. I am a gentile who is learning everything Jewish. someday I may even convert but for now I study under an orthodox Rabbi who is awesome to us gentiles and willing to teach us. Now it seems to me that men have so many ways to show their connectedness with HaSham. the Kipoit, prayer shawls, teffilim ( I hope I got that right) tzitzits and circumcision. for women there isn't really an outwardly sign of her bond with HaShem. this is where the a tichel comes in. for me, I desire to wear a tichel in order to see that I am bonded to HaShem and not to the material things of this world. although the beauty of the tichel could appear materialistic but it is not for me. what a great way for me to look into a mirror and see that I belong to the creator and it is beautiful. also I guess because I am getting older I just want to feel pretty. eeks that was materialistic. well those are my reasons.
I absolutely love this video, thank you!
I became disabled a few years ago, and as a result of my limitations I struggle to take care of my hair. Up until recently I needed help to wash my hair so a couple of years ago I found that if I slept with my hair wrapped up in a silk scarf I could go for longer periods between washing my hair. I love wearing my hair up in the scarf and now that I am able to get out of the house more and I want to wear my scarves out in public, but I’ve been feeling uncertain about it. After watching the video I feel so much more confident about this. If anyone asks I can say that this is something that makes me more independent and feel good about my body, and head scarves are worn by women around the world for hundreds of years for many reasons. My reason happens to be because of my disability.
This is wonderful - GOOD FOR YOU for developing such confidence in wrapping!
I emailed you guys yesterday about this concern. Was given the link to this video and I’m so thankful.
Thank you! 💛
I love all the beautiful women in the comments of different faiths or no faith supporting one another!
I'm late to the party but still glad I found this video. I'm a torah observant Christian, still learning, I felt called to a head covering. My husband never asked me but I feel, its respectful to cover in public. Im only wearing a bandana at this point as current events make finding things difficult. Thank you for your video.
I started out covering my hair at night because of the straps of my cpap mask was breaking my hair. Nothing was working, so I started looking online and found wrapunzel videos. The more of the videos I watched, the more intrigued I became. I used to wear my hair in a ponytail braid or a bun, until I got arthritis in my hands and braiding became difficult. 2 years ago, I ordered my first velvet headband and tried using the scarves I already owned as a headcover. I continued to cover my hair indoors for months. One day, I decided, I would go to the grocery store wearing it and I the worst comment I got was, I wear a hat on my bad hair days. From that day on, my hair has been covered and I have more wrapunzel scarves in my collection.
Thanks for sharing your story! We love hearing all the different reasons that women wrap!
I became interested in head covering when I lived in a rural area with lots of low-hanging foliage. The foliage would brush against my hair and bugs would take up residence in my thick, dry, curly hair. After spending hours combing insects out, I decided to cover my hair when outside. Covering keeps hair clean and prevents sun damage. If school girls covered their hair, it would probably reduce lice epidemics. Hygiene is an excellent reason for hair covering.
Thank you for your insight! There are just so many reasons a person can wrap, and you mentioned some really practical ones!
This is one of my reasons too, as an agnostic/earth spiritual person.
I also have thick curly hair which I'm growing out with minimal care. I garden and keep chickens. Somehow I always end up with shavings or straw hiding in my thick graying hair, since I only rinse it out every couple of days. It's simply practical, and also grounding, to wear a headscarf while trending the land.
Another reason now is to help normalize headcovering in the US during these dangerous times. I'm not religious, but I don't think anyone should endure harassment (or worse) for their religion and/or skin color. So I will also wear it publically in solidarity with those groups targeted by hate crimes.
May you all be blessed with love and abundance.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and compassionate post.
It is our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Aaah, I was wondering about just this, thank you! I wear a head scarf at school and everyone's always curious if it's religious but it's just a sensory thing for me (it keeps my hair out of my face, and it keeps my ears and head warm)
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 am a Christian & we also study the Hebrew roots of our faith!! We Big supporters of Israel & the Jewish people!! I am interested in a wearing head covering , also because Yahweh is my Elohim!! My husband & I are separated.. He is actually in prison for something very terrible that I didn't see coming.. I thought he was a godly man..!! (Sorry, too much information..)
You spoke about this topic in such a lovely way..
Head Covering is for ALL Women, not just curtain Cultures, because it is in the Bible.
This may be odd but I did this wrap today, and i liked it alot and ice never done wraps really but ice always loved them on other people i find them so beautiful. So i tried it today and i like it i did it because i didnt wanna do anything with my hair but i wanted something nice. And well i was told NO that basicly since I am not religious or a certain ethnicity that I was not allowed to do this. And I am honestly feeling really sad about it because i didnt do it to be rude i did it because i think its beautiful and unique.
Babushkas have worn a head scarf for centuries .. as did Queen Elizabeth 2 .. Christian woman years ago were SUPPOSED to cover their heads in church, hat or scarf .. while men REMOVED their head wear as signs of respect. Some people are just waaaay too nosey and up in other's business, I wear scarves often to protect my hair from cooking odours and to keep my hair out of my food ..
I am a Christian woman who feels the lord is calling to cover. What I'm not sure of is how I should cover. Could you help me out in this area? Thanks
Hi, Mommy Bear! If there are any specific traditions or cultural limitations for you, consulting with one of your religious authorities will always be the best place to start, as these differences can vary greatly. Women cover their hair in endless different ways! Some use wigs, some wear hats, while others wrap some or all of their hair with scarves. Experimentation will definitely lead to finding a method that works best for you. :)
Most Christian women seem to wear either bonnets or kerchiefs. Personally I prefer turbans and wraps like the regal wrap! I personally think that at the end of the day it comes down to what suits your lifestyle, what you're comfortable with, and how much hair you want to cover.
I'm a recent convert to Catholicism from protestantism. As a protestant, I wore a tichel style scarf or a loose hijab style (with it set back on my head and loose around my neck so that people could tell it wasn't actually a hijab).
As a Catholic, I switched to something that "looks more Catholic", which is a mantilla veil. Mantillas are a christian headcovering that was more popular in Italy and Spain (which, as you might have noticed, are hugely Catholic countries). That's why in Catholicism, that style of veil has become the most popular. It's a triangular piece of lace that's worn with the longest side over the crown of the head and the opposite point on the back. Think "a really big lace kerchief". Look up "Veils by Lily" and "garlands of grace" for examples of shops that sell Christian headcoverings (I made my mantilla, though).
You could also read the early Church Father Tertullian's "On the Veiling of Virgins". He points out that a veil shouldn't be see through, in short because a covering that's see through isn't actually covering. (Example: If I wore a saran wrap bikini, I'd technically be wearing something, but I sure wouldn't be covered!). He also says that because Paul points us to consider the natural covering of a woman, her hair, we should cover everything that the hair would normally cover. Your veil should reflect your hair. I wear a veil that goes down to my waist, because that's how long my hair is. A woman with a bob could wear a smaller veil, more like a cap.
Milkpaw Never heard of a Roman Catholic women covering their hair in modern times except going to church. Maybe a hat for a Wedding or the races!
as a catholic there is no way to cover specified however the bible does say women are ment to cover their head to prey so it can be a wrap a veil a kerchief anything like that
I started covering my hair when I developed alopecia... Now that my hair has started growing back in I don't wear a scarf every day. But I somehow feel more confident and comfortable in my skin when I do.
Thank you for a fabulous sharing!
Thank you. I’ll be getting chemo soon so I’m doing some research. You look beautiful
Excellent explanation!
Desde niña siempre me a gustado tapar mi cabello y gracias a ustedes e podido regresar a cubrir mi cabello por sus hermosos pañuelos
I’ve been looking into this. My hair is a HOT MESS. And it’s to the point, about all I can do is wait for it to grow out. Which means I have to deal with it looking like 💩 for several months. I was really concerned about if it would be offensive. I just want to protect my hair & hide the fact it looks awful while it’s growing out & getting healthy. I am beyond thankful for this video. I wasn’t sure, either, how to ask this question without offending. 😹
Is there any specific style of wrapping to avoid? I was just going to wrap it like you do a towel to dry your hair. Yes. I know, not the best for hair but my hair is like a mop, it just soaks up the water & drips everywhere.
I believe people worry about offending other people so much because society has conditioned us to be paranoid. We cannot do or say anything without offense these days. It is a sad thing. Be it a head scarf or hoop earrings someone will take it to a negative place. I think as a lover of all things fashionable I would love to see more individuals wearing head scarfs and turbans because they are so beautiful! Let us all get to a place where we are able to Express ourselves in ways we admire or love. Wouldn't that be lovely?
I don't wear a headwrap for religious reasons. For myself, I find the feeling of the scarf on my head comforting (even though I couldn't really explain why), and I find it to be a versatile and interesting way to accessorize and outfit. In interactions I've had with others who are curious about it, I have found that when I point out that women all over the world--including my own ancestors--have worn head coverings for centuries, this has been the start of some very interesting conversations about history and culture. It's a wonderful ice breaker, really.
Great clarity & useful. Thank you.
i’m ethnically jewish, but not religious, although we still celebrate the major holidays and i grew up with a lot of the spiritual aspect that my parents got from growing up is eastern europe. my parents are both immigrants who moved to israel due to antisemitism and we now live in the US. antisemitism has been growing such an insane amount in europe and even in the US these past few years, and it’s this that’s making take politics science as my major and go into politics to raise awareness to this issue as so many have done for the also rising prejudice against islam. i want to start wearing a headscarf honestly for the purpose that i want to have the chance to get questions, and to explain what a tichel is and in the process raise awareness for this growing issue. my concern is that this would be received poorly from the religiously jewish community and i’d really like to get your opinion on it
Thank you for this video!
I'm not religious, really. Well, I do consider myself to be a heathen in that I'm interested in the pre-Christian religions of my ancestors. But I'm really drawn to head wrapping because it's just so pretty, and it makes women look rather dignified. I figure as long as I (a white lady) don't try to emulate traditional African or African American fabric or wrap styles, I'm good to go. Thank you for these videos!
very interesting topic.thank you for make it more clear to ppl.
I think some times to do this too but I am not sure if I could do it everyday. So it would make somehow no sense. Also a big fear is that people would mistaken me for have changed my religion to Muslim or so.
At the same time I am afraid of drawing attention to me, first I no way like any kind of attention and Im afraid of get hatred from people if they would know I am doing this for religious reasons.
Your halloween example reminds me of one night when we were walking down Third Street together, (possibly on halloween?) and a whole crowd of people going into Bear's were dressed up in what appeared to be actual Jewish costumes. If this is what you are referencing, I certainly remember that...
I am neither Jewish nor Muslim,I am pagan , but I do cover my hair for spiritual reasons. It is a symbol of humility and respect for my dieties, as well as to protect my energies. People however assume I've adopted a new religion.
Its not new, just delving deeper into it.
I adore the dinar wrap but have been worried that but would get offensive. I usually wear a simple wrap or bandanna.
Also in the 1950s and 60s it was very normal for women to cover their hair with a scarf just put over the head and tied under the neck, whereas men wore hats.
What if you take an item worn from one religion and feel connected to it and use it the way it's intended but for a different religion. An example, if I wore a bindi, which is worn by women in South Asia, often red to symbolize their marriage. I'm white and my husband is white, but he's also a Hindu. I am a pagan and have been for 22+ yrs. But I wear a bindi to 1) symbolize my marriage to a Hindu, and 2) represent the third eye as hindu philosophy are a huge part of my pagan beliefs. I honor hindu deities but I'm not a Hindu, I'm a Pantheist pagan. I wear a bindi and sometimes I do wear a headscarf (same reason an Afrikaan voodoo practitioner would) to contain energy.
You've done a fabulous job
As a Christian woman the instruction from the bible requires me to wear a head covering while in the presence of men if I am praying on behalf of another person or a group. The purpose of the head covering is symbolic to show humbleness. Usually if a man is present he will take the lead so I’ve only been “required” to wear a head covering a few times in my whole life. However I love wearing headscarves most of the time. I like to grow my hair out very long (long enough to sit on accidentally all the time) and long hair can be a lot of maintenance. Wearing a headscarf keeps my hair tangle free and most importantly clean. When I was younger I was worried about offending anyone so I mostly wear Eastern European headscarfs. Traditionally European women wore these to protect their hair and could also function like a hat with a piece of card or newspaper folded in the fabric to create a small brim for sun shielding. As this is my own culture it’s not cultural appropriation. I suggest researching your own ancestry and asking your elderly relatives about your own culture’s head coverings. Fun fact: in some regions the colour of scarf could indicate the woman’s age group, marital status and even the number of children she has.
I love this video. And I wear headwraps. It's not indicitive to one particular culture. Who ever said it was offensive needs to read in thier belief about judging others lolol 💜 beautiful wrap by the was sistah 🙏🏾
excellent explanation, thank you
I been thinking about this lately, because I'm going to a Science Fiction convention. Back in the 60's and on Star Trek, many Vulcan characters wore head scarves that kind of resemble the hijab. I think Star Trek of long ago got many costume ideas from Persia, Egypt etc...Anyways as to not offend anyone now, I'm going to change mine up a bit, & may wear it more gypsy style with long tail (how my Mom use to tie my hair up when i had curlers in it)...Heck..my best friends are Hungarian, and also from India, or even Eskimo....I love things I have learned from them...My Hungarian friend was never offended, and would teach me how to tie my scarf proper ;)
Thankyou. I enjoy listening to u.
Very helpful video. I wear mine for religious reasons I'm not Jewish. Although I do have faith in God.
I am pagan and I cover because I feel called to do so. It is a very spiritual reason.
Me too !
I asked a sikh man that I knew if it was offensive for me to wear a turban the style that he wore and he said no there are fashions where women wear turbans.
Lynda Kirkness there are Sikh women that wear a dastaar (turban)
Very well done. The PC nonsense is off the charts. I thought that women were supposed to have choice. Funny how "choice" is tolerable so long as it's of the ilk the offended find tolerable. Reminds me of a discussion with a 50+ year old female acquaintance who was having a hissy fit over Michelle Duggar's 19 pregnancies. When I reminded her that Michelle is allowed to have as many children as she deems appropriate just as she was free to have none (choosing to have a dog instead). Whomever this was who made the comment to the headcoverer needs to stop by my home since they have so much time to worry about what a woman wears on her head. I have a HONEY-DOOO list! LOL
LOL!! They can stop by my house, as well when they finish yours. :D
Love 💕 thank you!
Cultural appropriation always has an element of mocking, ignorance or superiority to that culture, not just imitation, just like you said about using someone's valued belief system as a costume. My head covering is sometimes styled similar to Muslim women's (though they have many variations in their styles, too). Since I also dress modestly, all the Muslim women I encounter are so supportive even though I'm Christian. Of course, head coverings are common in many places all over the world. My friends who are Sikh and Muslim men also wear head coverings. And I have Black friends who have relatives that cover their hair for cultural reasons or at church. The big point is to be considerate of other people's beliefs and almost always they will be considerate toward you.
Thank you for this explanation!
It's our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Wrapunzel Ladies Thank you! I really enjoy the tutorials and can't wait to try covering now that I know I won't be doing something offensive!
I was wondering what you think about single orthodox Jewish women covering their hair, never having been married? Would like to hear your thoughts
I was thinking the same question!
I am not married, but i cover my head with turbans
As long as you're not actively claiming to be part of a community you're not actually part of, it's just a scarf on your head, and you're not hurting anyone.
I am (converting to) Reform and I cover my hair to forge an additional connection to Judaism that I find meaningful, to feel good about myself, and to feel more connected to G-d when I'm going through rough patches by essentially always reminding myself that He is with me. And also because I"m married and love being so. ^_^ I have a dear friend who covers her hair for personal reasons in part symbolizing her devotion to the goddesses she worships, and in part because it makes her feel better about herself and her appearance. hair covering is a widespread practice, even if it's not as common anymore as it once was, and if it is important or meaningful to you I think that's all the reason you need.
Beautifully said ✨🎉💖💓
my main concern is that certain styles or types of headscarves would be offensive for me to wear. Can you help me out?
I'm white and Christian. I wear a veil. But I saw a black lady wrapping her hair where it looked like a bandana and I want to wear it like that but I'm scared
I’m a white woman who I wear bandana on my hair when I go out
thankful for this video x
I’m fairly certain that I want to start wearing a head covering. I already strive to be very modest and I feel it brings me closer to my faith. The only issue is that my family would absolutely forbid me wearing a hijab or even owning one. Does it still count if I only wear it at night, and only during my prayer sessions? Or if I have to use a normal scarf as a substitute?
Thank you so much for your insight! I have been worried about offending many different cultures and religions because it is so wildly used. But I will definitely look inwards and find my personal reasons and if I am ever confronted I will be ready to kindly explain my reasonings.
One question I do have, you might not have the answer and that’s okay. Is there any specific knots/styles of wearing the wrap that IS religious?
I'm a Ruthenian Slavic Pagan and women in my culture have been covering our hair - we call the headscarf a chusta - for forever, for both religious and cultural reasons. Not every woman does it, of course, but it's very much a thing. I think it's silly to call it cultural appropriation unless someone is actually pretending to be, for example, Muslim when they're not.
Seems it's just a head scarf. I used head scarfs before even realized some do for religious reasons. I did it to hold my hair!
Ppl really should stop obsessing about others and what is happening on top of their heads. Society, including the media, has a real issue with who's hair is natural, who's hair isn't, who wraps, who doesn't, its strange and borderline creepy. It's odd for someone to have an issue with wrapping.
That's like telling someone hey! You can't wear a Hawaiian shirt, you're not from Hawaii! See how ridiculous that sounds?
Many ppl need to go get a hobby to occupy their time. Live and let live.
I've always loved the style and colours of different headwraps but I've never worn one in public, just at home. I've done so much research into whether I'm able to wear one without being disrespectful because I'm a white guy and there's no cultural or religious reason for me to wear one. Could you give me some advice on this issue? (I also live in the UK if that changes everything)
I wear one to protect my hair , to keep myself warm. Funny , the ones who pick on me for this , aren't even Muslim (or Jewish , even) ! My Muslim friends are pretty chill about this.
You look beautiful
I'm terrified, i'm in my 50's & suffering with severe hair loss, obviously I don't want to offend anyone... What do I do (UK).
