This is amazing! I am a Muslim woman who has been covering her hair for years and to learn that there are similarities between both religions means that hopefully one day we could all stand united someday. The things you mentioned in your video is almost, if not exact, to what I would tell people who would ask me why I cover my hair. In Islam yes it is a command in order to not attract the opposite sex as well as to honor our husband and marriage yet we still find our ways to make our head wraps unique and pretty. Stay beautiful
I am a Christian woman and very recently (about 2 weeks) I have felt a personal conviction to cover my hair. I am the only one in my Pentecostal church that covers. I don't cover my hair completely but I do cover all the time. I stumbled on this while researching. Thank you so much for this
Yes I’ve recently have felt the same conviction. I’m also a Christian and also started attending a church that does not cover their hair. Long ago I use to attend one that did. I’m still figuring it out but I’ll get there. Thank goodness for these videos!! Shalom!!
@@dishhatter I too am also the only one of my church members that veil, I felt the Holy Spirit calling me to cover and humble myself. It’s crazy cool, I looked it up and apparently there has been a revival. Women all over the world feeling the strong desire and conviction to cover. The Holy Spirit is always working, such a beautiful thing.
A servant leader is what you are, Andrea. I'm a Christian and have been interested in head coverings since I experienced Cancer and lost my hair. I disliked Cancer, but loved the freedom from hair (I know that sounds funny). I went without head coverings and with scarves, turbans and wigs. As I continue to grow in my faith as a follower of Jesus, I find myself interested in head coverings once again. I don't know where my experimentation will lead, but I have just sent in an order for your products, with another in the cart. Thank you for your service, not only for women who live their faith, but for those who have lost their hair due to Cancer or other medical conditions. I love that my journey of exploring and learning is being accomplished with a company such as yours. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wow! I have tears in my eyes. I am the hypothetical woman you are talking about. I was a passionate tichel wearer during my marriage, which only lasted 2 1/2 years. After I received my Get, and a bit of soul searching, I felt that I was drawing attention to myself wearing a tichel. I asked a shaila about it and my Rav said I should wear a sheitel especially going into shidduchim again and desiring to fit in. I purchased a beautiful sheitel that I felt comfortable in but I was feeling a little insecure around my tichel-wearing-with-a-passion friends. Thank you for the validation I needed in such a big way. Thanks my beautiful friend. Chaya Devorah
+Devi Gold I am so glad that it was you I was speaking to. You are not alone. May you find all the happiness in the world and continue to be so in tune with what is right for you. Kol tuv
I'm a middle aged survivor of religious abuse (Christian evangelical) and experienced weight gain and unusual immune system symptoms with falling hair until the truth about my childhood rape was discussed openly last year. I've experienced a reversal of my stress induced symptoms since then, so I know I'm on the right track! When I was young I liked to braid my hair, but now I find these tichel ladies so inspiring I just want to wear scarves! Thank you for placing your tutorials on CZcams so that other women can share. (I'm not Jewish, but I don't dig on Jesus, so it's nice to come here and learn from you. Thank you so very much from Northern California!)
You are a beautiful woman and I am very glad I have found your tutorials. As a Christian woman, I too cover my head when I come before G-d, as I am required to do and the tichel is one of the more beautiful ways to do so in my everyday prayer life. Thank you for you beautiful videos teaching me how to express myself with these head wraps. Cindy
Andrea, thank you for this video. I am a conservative Jewish woman who does not cover her hair. (Though I have made purchases from your web site for scarves). I have been drawn to your videos, and other like it, despite that I don't feel any inclination to cover my hair. This video clarified for me why I love this category - I am drawn to the joy of being a Jewish woman and the sisterhood we share despite that we might never meet past this post. I share that joy with you in the mitzpha's that give me joy. Thank you for your wisdom.
I love how you are being a wonderful vessel whom God can use to help women Jewish and non Jewish such as myself( Christian woman) who enjoys covering her hair. I cover my head daily at first because I was loosing my hair but then I just started loving covering my hair. Friends and family and very supportive and are asking where I have learned how to style them. I enjoy sharing your website and blog with them. Continue being a blessing. Shalom!!
I love covering with a Tichel rather than a sheitl because for me I’m honoring my husband by covering my hair as a mode of modesty. I feel with a wig I can have hair that looks even more incredible and stylish than my own hair and that doesn’t honor my husband at all in my opinion. So this is my choice. B’H Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!
Thank you. I am a Christian woman who covers my head as a form of respect for my husband who is my head. I have purchased tichels and scarves from your company. Your company and videos have been a blessing to me.
I am a Messianic believer and have been watching these videos for almost a year. I was criticized by someone the first time I covered my head and just stuck to your videos and waited for the opportunity to try it again. I ventured out and started wearing a head covering during my recent visit in Israel. I returned to Hawaii and have continued to wear tichels. I am the only person at work that wears a covering, but the other women have been complimentary and encouraging. This has encouraged some of the ladies I fellowship with to want to wear a tichel out of respect for their marriage. I am grateful for these videos because I am sharing them with other women. Thank you for all your helpful hints.
I absolutely love the message you are spreading! I’m Christian, and love learning about other faiths and have such a high respect for the Jewish faith. My great grandparents are from the Poland/Czech border (the town they were born in was fought over many times). I believe my maternal great grandmother was half Ashkenazic. I have wanted to wear head coverings for years as a way to connect to my heritage but when I tried it in the past, it would always slip. A friend told me about Wrapunzel’s no slip bands today and I’m super excited! Just placed my first order (just the band and scrunchie for now), but I can’t wait to start ordering scarves and shapers in a few weeks! Thanks so much, Andrea! 💚 Elizabeth
As a Christian woman, I felt the call to cover and dress much more modestly. Confirming in 1 Corinthians 11:6 for women to cover or shave their heads. It has changed my life and brought me so much closer to the feet of Christ. I read KJV and I absolutely love that most of the Old Testament Jewish Laws are amazingly beneficial to health. So much treasures hidden in the Precious words from God Almighty, Amen . I just love your tutorials you take head wrapping to the next level, I love how you style! Thank you for this 🙏🏽 God Bless ♥️🌈☀️
Greetings of Blessings and Peace! Shalom Shalom Thank you for your tutorials, we are a group of ladies in kenya, we wear the head wrap. we like your tutorials. Shalom
Your comments are so kind, even with those who may not agree. How welcoming to women you are who just want to express themselves in "their own unique way". We may also feel comfortable with just covering our hair for personal comfort. Thank you for sharing your love.
I wear both and rotate, I might see my wig - Monday thru Thursday to work then my scarf on Friday - Sunday. I love the rotation and th ability to coordinate outfits with my turbans and various scarf styles.
sister you are so beautiful and you genuenly are one of the reasons i have started covering although i am not jewish i am a christian but i am really interested in the jewish roots of the gospel although i don't go to a gathering place if i could i would go to a messianic church this might not mean of anything to you but i just want to thank you
MakeupModestyandFood (elshond) I am in the same boat as you (I am a Messianic which has many of the same tenets of Christianity. Not to mention I was and am still being raised in a Christian home). I wish I could find a shul to go to that is not all the way in Baltimore. I cannot drive, (not to mention driving is forbidden on Shabbat) and there are no places close enough for me to walk. I will be praying that you find a place to worship if that is okay with you. Shalom aleikh achot. Peace be unto you sister.
Elisheva Bat-Sha'ul thank you sister i hope you find a messianic church nearby soon the lord will provide if it is whats best for you. thank you for praying for me i am not jewish when it comes to genetics but i just feel so much more connected with messianic jews than with many other christian i don't understand why but the lord has a reason and a plan
+SomethingEls I totally get where you're coming from haha- I'm also a Messianic gentile, although I discovered the messianic community and fortunately found a messianic synagogue about five years ago. I just started wearing a tichel, and I really like it also, but I just wanted to let you know that there are others like you!
I find this all most interesting. Found you looking on how to make my scarves stay up. I am letting my hair grow after decades of short hair, but the long hair bothers me, falling in my face or getting headaches from tight ponytails. Women in past generations covered their hair for various reasons, one may just be practicality. Blessings to you!
So i'm not sure if this will be clear, but i was raised Jewish, left Judaism for Christianity, eventually finding my way back to Judaism. While i'm not motivated by modesty i'm motivated by 2 things. 1. i like to cover as a way to reconnect with my heritage but it also, and this might sound weird, but i also feel like its a soldarity with other women. Some Christians cover, Some Muslims cover. Other religions do as well, and we are women. And we are more alike than we are different, and we can stand together with our different beliefs and still live in peace.
Maybe I'm assuming here but I would think the reason for covering the hair is because the hair can be seen as "sexy". So it seems to me that a wig isn't serving the purpose a tichel is for. A sexy wig instead of sexy hair....what exactly does that accomplish??
Thank you for this video. I am a hebrew woman thatvwaa struggling to cover my head. I could so it right it never looked right. Your videos have been a blessing to help me learn. Although I dont have ro cover all rhe time learning how to had made me want to. Thank you again. Shalom
I was looking into the Christian perspective on head coverings and stumbled upon this video. You're beautiful and I love what you have to say about Shalom. I love why you started your community! Thank you for being a source of positivity and promoting Joy in obedience and honoring sacred commands. I just wanted to drop a message of encouragement!
Bad hair days motivated me to get a scarf. I learned hijab, and basic tichel. I wear a veiled tichel, quite commonly sold, except i wear a veil in the back, its not tucked in and most of my neck is covered, depending on the weather. The soft colors available from hijab suppliers work the best with my everyday street clothes. I have many more undercaps than i do chiffon! Lace for summer, jersey for winter. Recently i rediscovered neck gaiters, in a zillion colors, and theyre longer, which protects my scalp! I keep finding items that make it a real pleasure to put on, attractive for going out to lunch!
You have such a joyful heart that shines through. I love that you share using color and different technique to make your world (and ours) unique. I love your videos, your joy that shines through to your family (your husband trying to tie a tichel and baby fussy in the background). It is an inspiration. I only wear head coverings part time but you have made it fun and varied. I am a Christian who has a very tender place in my heart for the Jewish community. Shalom :)
The very word "harmony" is defined by more than one note - at LEAST two - resonating in a pleasing way. I agree that polarization does nothing to add to harmony - it shatters the very notion of it.
I am of interracial decent...and an American Christian woman. Despite I have long hair, I have worn many wigs.... I am grappling with the idea of covering my hair because I am also struggling with what it means to be a professing Christian woman, who says...I want to do as the bible instructs yet when I look at myself and my peers in the church..." we don't dress modestly". I am not interested in expressing myself as a Hebrew woman, but follow the instruction of the New testament books...that are written in Greek. I learned that dressing modestly is to dress reverently, sacredly, proper, fit, comely and even in doing that to display myself conspicuously as a believing woman. In my study I found that to be moderately attractive...so I know that it does not have to be "ugly"... In most of the churches of America ... women dress like commoners, worldly women who have no real conduct of discipline morally, and yet I am instructed by the bible to set myself apart, to not be of the world...Beauty in American is a billion dollar industry...women without hair are buying hair by the tons....braiding it elaborately and thought a wig can cover my natural hair...it can not compare to covering...i state this because in all religions ...whatever we believe ....we should be able to openly acknowledge those beliefs, as living out our faiths. I am looking within myself to see if I can commit to this standard... I appreciate your sharing...and I will check out Wrapunzel. thank you so much....
Frum it Up was sharing in one of her videos (she's a Sephardic Orthodox Jewish woman) that her work requires her to put off the tichel (which seems insane to me) for specific conferences. She wears the tichel every day, but she has the sheitel for those specific conferences. While this isn't my world, I wanted to mention that specific instance as well, that sometimes the tichel is against dress codes at work so the sheitel option is good to have on hand.
I am not of the Jewish faith. I am Christian and non denominational. I like the way head coverings looked at first after a type of ear surgery where a good part of my hair was gone on one side. My mother on the other hand made fun of me .You see I used to be married to a Muslim man and for her that reminded her of something that was very ethnic and bad. It is taking me 10 years to be able to want to wear something like this on my own to please myself. And I’m happy to do so. I am now faced with no water being able to go into my ear and I’ve run out of options even with swimming caps and fit earplugs molded air plugs everything lights water in so there is a fabric called pole fabric PUL and I am going to try to make that into a tickle. And that’s just for the water. As for every day I bought One of your Wendy shapers. Made me giggle because my name is Wendy, so all things name Wendy must be good. And some of the fabrics. I look forward to getting them. So you really are bringing people together from all walks of life and all religions.
Sharing your joy with covering! Mission accomplished. And as a side advantage those who wish to cover their hair for various reasons have been given options and techniques.
I love this scarf, is it from the Wrapunzel? How is it called? Also, could you do a video with tips of how to deal with silk scarves? I have some beautiful ones, but they slip terribly. Should I just avoid them?
We haven't made a video like that. So sorry! For head wrapping, though, there are typically three different shapes of scarves: long and oblong (rectangular-shaped), square and triangle. Most Wrapunzel-style wraps are done with long and oblong shaped scarves, though, we do use some square and triangular-shaped ones in our tutorials, as well. All of the scarves on wrapunzel.com have the dimensions listed at the very bottom of their product descriptions, which should give you an idea of what sizes we prefer. Hope that helps! :)
You are such a beautiful person both inside and out. I'm so glad I rediscovered your channel and now you have a beautiful store. I saw your very first video a few years ago when I was just beginning my research into head covering. I come from a mixture of religious backgrounds, my mother is church of England, my father was both church of England and Jewish. His mother was Jewish by birth and at some point in his adult life he became Jewish, however even though he made sure that my brother and I both attended church (CoE) he was actually an atheist. so yes I had a very confusing religious up bringing. however since my father passed away I have been drawn to a Pagan path. and now I am being drawn to cover my head. it's a very strange feeling, I don't know where it is coming from but the need to cover is growing stronger by the day. Being pagan there are no guidelines or rules to tell how to cover, this is where your lovely videos have come into my life time and time again :) thank you so much you have given me options :) I do also have to say that I'm definitely more like the hyperthectical person you described, but after watching your videos and trying different ties, I'm finally smiling at myself in the mirror. Blessed be :)
i am Muslim and am in the process of starting to wear a hijab at home thanks to you guys because I think my hair should be for my husband and yeah my daughter will have the OK to not wear it at home but outside she has to wear it because we are strict on.
Can you please do a video on the mitzvah? Or just a simple answer & point me in the right direct if you happen to see this comment..... where in the Torah or Tanach is this command? Thank you! I enjoy this channel.
Hi, I'm a Catholic woman wanting to cover my hair with a scarf. I also feel the need to dress more modestly, i struggle with both. But i was wondering if i were to wrap similarly to the way you woman wrap your hair so beautifully if it would be considered offensive. Some people seem to think certain hair covering or ways a scarf is tied belong to certain groups, . And personally i don't wish to be offensive, but i do wish to be more modest and to be frank it seems to me there seems to be a corrolation between wearing a head covering and growing in holiness. I love the manner in which you wear your head scarves. As a traditional Catholic would it be considered offensive to cover my hair in this fashion?
HI, Bernadette! Thanks for asking! Nope - it's not offensive at all. Check out Naomi Rose's video on this exact topic here! czcams.com/video/JK8I7keJzhw/video.html
Hi! I am also Catholic, and starting to wrap my hair when I go out because of the pandemic. I wanted something that look nice, but I'm also discovering another benefit to doing it. you're right, it would be nice if I could wear my hair covered to Mass. I'm discovering the Mitzvah, so to speak!
I've found your videos through researching scarves, and I really enjoy the videos. I'm not Jewish, but I live and work in an area of Melbourne, Australia, that has a large Jewish community, and this video in particular has been really informative; I now understand why I see some Jewish women wearing tichels, some wearing sheitels, and some not covering their hair. (And I really want to find out where to buy these beautiful scarves in Melbourne!) My question is a linguistic one however. You use some non-English terms in your video, and some I recognise as Hebrew, but there's one I don't recognise at all. At 7:22, you say "That's not her ______. That is not what she wants to be doing in this world." Could you tell me what that word or phrase is? Thank you, and Shalom. :)
Only a married woman in Judaism covers her hair? I am not married but I would love to cover my hair the way you do. I am old, 73, no man is looking at me anymore. If it would be for Hashem,blessed is He, then I would do it.
Lately it's been to grow my hair back. So I slather coconut oil once a week, put the underscarf over that, and wrap as usual. My new snarky line: "Why are you wearing that?" "My hair is soaked in oil under there, and it keeps the flies off."🐝🦟🐜🕷🦗🐝🐝 What an image! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think we're done now.😁
I have a question: I've been practicing wearing tichels to get used to them for when we convert, but when I have the tichel over the top part of my ears (like you have in this video), I can't wear it all day without a headache and my ears hurting. Do I need to wear my tichel a little more loosely over my ears? I just have so much hair, that if I wear it without part of my ears covered as well, that I have hair showing all over the place!
Emrysina You need to join the wrapunzel fangroup on facebook - the ladies on there can help! Basically yes you can wear behind your ears, but you need a no-slip headband!
Right! Just as the human anatomy the heart feet . Oh you are a sabra. No wonder you are so comfortable with your self you are sent by Avinu on mission.
Ty for the enlighten and the education. As a English professor who came to Messianic Judaism from Christianity, not only do I read but i anayze looking for the balance that brings clarity and concise information. I find head coverings a beautiful Mitzvah, one that was ordered by Hashem. This I understand well. However, please forgive my boldness, and I will share this with the most highest respect, their is a difference between a tichel and a shichel. We have a beautiful Jewish friend who's wig is more elaborate, decorative, and not as modest as her own hair. She gets more heads turning to her than if she would walk around with her own God Given hair. There is nothing modest about certain wigs. They are expensive and made out of real hair. Whats the difference? Absolutely none. Hashem gave us our own beauty. There is a difference between a commandment and a man made tradition. No where in the Torah, does it say to wear tichel or a shichel specifically. It just says wear a head covering. The purpose is to cover your hair, why? Because it's flashy and calls a man's eye. But if a wig does the same thing then how is this staying modest and obeying that Mitzvah. We as humans always complicate and over exaggerate Hashem. At end what you use on your head is your business. But we should always be mindful that when you do follow a Mitzvah you are doing it understanding how it should be done and not adding in things that defeat the original intent in the first place. That's when harmony truly takes rhythm.
If this is a command from God to cover, why do you cover? Doesn't it state in the Torah the reason? In Islam women cover so as to not attract attention from the opposite sex. The woman's beauty is supposed to be reserved for her husband. So why do you wear something on your heads that is pretty. Isn't it hypocritical to cover your hair with hair that is prettier than your own hair---a wig?
This is amazing! I am a Muslim woman who has been covering her hair for years and to learn that there are similarities between both religions means that hopefully one day we could all stand united someday. The things you mentioned in your video is almost, if not exact, to what I would tell people who would ask me why I cover my hair. In Islam yes it is a command in order to not attract the opposite sex as well as to honor our husband and marriage yet we still find our ways to make our head wraps unique and pretty. Stay beautiful

+SomethingEls I totally get where you're coming from haha- I'm also a Messianic gentile, although I discovered the messianic community and fortunately found a messianic synagogue about five years ago. I just started wearing a tichel, and I really like it also, but I just wanted to let you know that there are others like you!
Mrs Andrea you have the most beautiful soul!! Thank you for being a positive in such a negative world.
I find this all most interesting. Found you looking on how to make my scarves stay up. I am letting my hair grow after decades of short hair, but the long hair bothers me, falling in my face or getting headaches from tight ponytails. Women in past generations covered their hair for various reasons, one may just be practicality. Blessings to you!
So i'm not sure if this will be clear, but i was raised Jewish, left Judaism for Christianity, eventually finding my way back to Judaism. While i'm not motivated by modesty i'm motivated by 2 things. 1. i like to cover as a way to reconnect with my heritage but it also, and this might sound weird, but i also feel like its a soldarity with other women. Some Christians cover, Some Muslims cover. Other religions do as well, and we are women. And we are more alike than we are different, and we can stand together with our different beliefs and still live in peace.
Maybe I'm assuming here but I would think the reason for covering the hair is because the hair can be seen as "sexy". So it seems to me that a wig isn't serving the purpose a tichel is for. A sexy wig instead of sexy hair....what exactly does that accomplish??
Thank you for this video. I am a hebrew woman thatvwaa struggling to cover my head. I could so it right it never looked right. Your videos have been a blessing to help me learn. Although I dont have ro cover all rhe time learning how to had made me want to.
Thank you again. Shalom
thank you so much for this video, all the best to you from a muslim women.
Thanks, Tina!
I was looking into the Christian perspective on head coverings and stumbled upon this video. You're beautiful and I love what you have to say about Shalom. I love why you started your community! Thank you for being a source of positivity and promoting Joy in obedience and honoring sacred commands. I just wanted to drop a message of encouragement!
Bad hair days motivated me to get a scarf. I learned hijab, and basic tichel. I wear a veiled tichel, quite commonly sold, except i wear a veil in the back, its not tucked in and most of my neck is covered, depending on the weather.
The soft colors available from hijab suppliers work the best with my everyday street clothes. I have many more undercaps than i do chiffon! Lace for summer, jersey for winter. Recently i rediscovered neck gaiters, in a zillion colors, and theyre longer, which protects my scalp! I keep finding items that make it a real pleasure to put on, attractive for going out to lunch!
You have such a joyful heart that shines through. I love that you share using color and different technique to make your world (and ours) unique. I love your videos, your joy that shines through to your family (your husband trying to tie a tichel and baby fussy in the background). It is an inspiration. I only wear head coverings part time but you have made it fun and varied. I am a Christian who has a very tender place in my heart for the Jewish community. Shalom :)
Very well said Andrea! I love the way you make your explanation. Why do people want choose sides? Why this or that when "and" is a better alternative!
The very word "harmony" is defined by more than one note - at LEAST two - resonating in a pleasing way. I agree that polarization does nothing to add to harmony - it shatters the very notion of it.
I am of interracial decent...and an American Christian woman. Despite I have long hair, I have worn many wigs.... I am grappling with the idea of covering my hair because I am also struggling with what it means to be a professing Christian woman, who says...I want to do as the bible instructs yet when I look at myself and my peers in the church..." we don't dress modestly". I am not interested in expressing myself as a Hebrew woman, but follow the instruction of the New testament books...that are written in Greek. I learned that dressing modestly is to dress reverently, sacredly, proper, fit, comely and even in doing that to display myself conspicuously as a believing woman. In my study I found that to be moderately attractive...so I know that it does not have to be "ugly"... In most of the churches of America ... women dress like commoners, worldly women who have no real conduct of discipline morally, and yet I am instructed by the bible to set myself apart, to not be of the world...Beauty in American is a billion dollar industry...women without hair are buying hair by the tons....braiding it elaborately and thought a wig can cover my natural hair...it can not compare to covering...i state this because in all religions ...whatever we believe ....we should be able to openly acknowledge those beliefs, as living out our faiths. I am looking within myself to see if I can commit to this standard... I appreciate your sharing...and I will check out Wrapunzel. thank you so much....
Frum it Up was sharing in one of her videos (she's a Sephardic Orthodox Jewish woman) that her work requires her to put off the tichel (which seems insane to me) for specific conferences. She wears the tichel every day, but she has the sheitel for those specific conferences. While this isn't my world, I wanted to mention that specific instance as well, that sometimes the tichel is against dress codes at work so the sheitel option is good to have on hand.
I am not of the Jewish faith. I am Christian and non denominational. I like the way head coverings looked at first after a type of ear surgery where a good part of my hair was gone on one side. My mother on the other hand made fun of me .You see I used to be married to a Muslim man and for her that reminded her of something that was very ethnic and bad. It is taking me 10 years to be able to want to wear something like this on my own to please myself. And I’m happy to do so. I am now faced with no water being able to go into my ear and I’ve run out of options even with swimming caps and fit earplugs molded air plugs everything lights water in so there is a fabric called pole fabric PUL and I am going to try to make that into a tickle. And that’s just for the water. As for every day I bought One of your Wendy shapers. Made me giggle because my name is Wendy, so all things name Wendy must be good. And some of the fabrics. I look forward to getting them. So you really are bringing people together from all walks of life and all religions.
Sheitels are Avoda Zara. I recommend you to research it
Sharing your joy with covering! Mission accomplished. And as a side advantage those who wish to cover their hair for various reasons have been given options and techniques.
Such gentleness.
This was very well-said.
I love this scarf, is it from the Wrapunzel? How is it called? Also, could you do a video with tips of how to deal with silk scarves? I have some beautiful ones, but they slip terribly. Should I just avoid them?
is there a video about the different kinds of scarves shapes and sizes? It's very confusing for me.
We haven't made a video like that. So sorry! For head wrapping, though, there are typically three different shapes of scarves: long and oblong (rectangular-shaped), square and triangle. Most Wrapunzel-style wraps are done with long and oblong shaped scarves, though, we do use some square and triangular-shaped ones in our tutorials, as well. All of the scarves on wrapunzel.com have the dimensions listed at the very bottom of their product descriptions, which should give you an idea of what sizes we prefer. Hope that helps! :)
I love your products and your videos! I own the uber pouf and It's great and makes me feel like a Queen.
You are such a beautiful person both inside and out. I'm so glad I rediscovered your channel and now you have a beautiful store. I saw your very first video a few years ago when I was just beginning my research into head covering. I come from a mixture of religious backgrounds, my mother is church of England, my father was both church of England and Jewish. His mother was Jewish by birth and at some point in his adult life he became Jewish, however even though he made sure that my brother and I both attended church (CoE) he was actually an atheist. so yes I had a very confusing religious up bringing. however since my father passed away I have been drawn to a Pagan path. and now I am being drawn to cover my head. it's a very strange feeling, I don't know where it is coming from but the need to cover is growing stronger by the day. Being pagan there are no guidelines or rules to tell how to cover, this is where your lovely videos have come into my life time and time again :) thank you so much you have given me options :) I do also have to say that I'm definitely more like the hyperthectical person you described, but after watching your videos and trying different ties, I'm finally smiling at myself in the mirror. Blessed be :)
+T palmer Thank you for sharing that, T! So good to hear that you appreciate this perspective!
Well said. Thank you!
I love covering my hair
I knew this would be your position as soon as I saw you had made a video about it. :-)
i am Muslim and am in the process of starting to wear a hijab at home thanks to you guys because I think my hair should be for my husband and yeah my daughter will have the OK to not wear it at home but outside she has to wear it because we are strict on.
Thank you for sharing, Fatimah! Best of luck on your journey!
thank you dear achoti. beautiful video. Shalom alechem
Id wear both a tichel and sheitel
Can you please do a video on the mitzvah? Or just a simple answer & point me in the right direct if you happen to see this comment..... where in the Torah or Tanach is this command? Thank you! I enjoy this channel.
Andrea, your beautiful, and I'm a big fan of blue
Hi, I'm a Catholic woman wanting to cover my hair with a scarf. I also feel the need to dress more modestly, i struggle with both. But i was wondering if i were to wrap similarly to the way you woman wrap your hair so beautifully if it would be considered offensive. Some people seem to think certain hair covering or ways a scarf is tied belong to certain groups,
. And personally i don't wish to be offensive, but i do wish to be more modest and to be frank it seems to me there seems to be a corrolation between wearing a head covering and growing in holiness. I love the manner in which you wear your head scarves. As a traditional Catholic would it be considered offensive to cover my hair in this fashion?
HI, Bernadette! Thanks for asking! Nope - it's not offensive at all. Check out Naomi Rose's video on this exact topic here! czcams.com/video/JK8I7keJzhw/video.html
I've wondered this myself. thank you for asking the question.
Hi! I am also Catholic, and starting to wrap my hair when I go out because of the pandemic. I wanted something that look nice, but I'm also discovering another benefit to doing it. you're right, it would be nice if I could wear my hair covered to Mass. I'm discovering the Mitzvah, so to speak!
I've found your videos through researching scarves, and I really enjoy the videos. I'm not Jewish, but I live and work in an area of Melbourne, Australia, that has a large Jewish community, and this video in particular has been really informative; I now understand why I see some Jewish women wearing tichels, some wearing sheitels, and some not covering their hair. (And I really want to find out where to buy these beautiful scarves in Melbourne!)
My question is a linguistic one however. You use some non-English terms in your video, and some I recognise as Hebrew, but there's one I don't recognise at all. At 7:22, you say "That's not her ______. That is not what she wants to be doing in this world." Could you tell me what that word or phrase is? Thank you, and Shalom. :)
Hi, she said, "That's not her avoda." Loosely translated it means work or job. It usually refers to spiritual work with me completes here on earth.
Thank you! :)
+uri Benenfeld *which one
Only a married woman in Judaism covers her hair? I am not married but I would love to cover my hair the way you do. I am old, 73, no man is looking at me anymore. If it would be for Hashem,blessed is He, then I would do it.
Lately it's been to grow my hair back. So I slather coconut oil once a week, put the underscarf over that, and wrap as usual.
My new snarky line:
"Why are you wearing that?"
"My hair is soaked in oil under there, and it keeps the flies off."🐝🦟🐜🕷🦗🐝🐝
What an image! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think we're done now.😁
you are an honorable woman..... walk in peace.
I have a question: I've been practicing wearing tichels to get used to them for when we convert, but when I have the tichel over the top part of my ears (like you have in this video), I can't wear it all day without a headache and my ears hurting. Do I need to wear my tichel a little more loosely over my ears? I just have so much hair, that if I wear it without part of my ears covered as well, that I have hair showing all over the place!
Emrysina You need to join the wrapunzel fangroup on facebook - the ladies on there can help! Basically yes you can wear behind your ears, but you need a no-slip headband!
+Wrapunzel Ladies I was wondering the same thing! I have helix piercings that I like to show off. I'm ordering the headband today. ;)
Is hair covering halacha, or minhag? If the former, pls give citation, for those of us who don't know. Thank you.
Segula Love it's a halacha for married women only. You can only show a fistful length out if you want (like your bangs)
I wanna cover my hair
how can I make my scarf not feel loose I always feel like it going to fall. also how can become a member of the site you mention
Try a shaper or No-Slip Headband! We sell a few different types here: www.wrapunzel.com/product-category/essential-tools.
Right! Just as the human anatomy the heart feet .
Oh you are a sabra. No wonder you are so comfortable with your self you are sent by Avinu on mission.
Covering hair when married is the mitzvah.All women must ask what does Hashem wants and check all of the laws .Todah for sharing .
Are widows supposed to cover their hair?
+Ithila Some do and some don't. Often it's a personal choice and requires the guidance of a knowledgeable Rabbi.
It's not a mitzva to cover your hair, rather a custom.
Great rabbis Ovadiah Yosef and Chaim Kanievsky have denounced wigs. Do you think you know more than they do?
Ty for the enlighten and the education. As a English professor who came to Messianic Judaism from Christianity, not only do I read but i anayze looking for the balance that brings clarity and concise information. I find head coverings a beautiful Mitzvah, one that was ordered by Hashem. This I understand well. However, please forgive my boldness, and I will share this with the most highest respect, their is a difference between a tichel and a shichel. We have a beautiful Jewish friend who's wig is more elaborate, decorative, and not as modest as her own hair. She gets more heads turning to her than if she would walk around with her own God Given hair. There is nothing modest about certain wigs. They are expensive and made out of real hair. Whats the difference? Absolutely none. Hashem gave us our own beauty. There is a difference between a commandment and a man made tradition. No where in the Torah, does it say to wear tichel or a shichel specifically. It just says wear a head covering. The purpose is to cover your hair, why? Because it's flashy and calls a man's eye. But if a wig does the same thing then how is this staying modest and obeying that Mitzvah. We as humans always complicate and over exaggerate Hashem. At end what you use on your head is your business. But we should always be mindful that when you do follow a Mitzvah you are doing it understanding how it should be done and not adding in things that defeat the original intent in the first place. That's when harmony truly takes rhythm.
Is not the Sheitel a sin or a least a lie.... I understand the need to protect one's self from hate.. But today.
If this is a command from God to cover, why do you cover? Doesn't it state in the Torah the reason? In Islam women cover so as to not attract attention from the opposite sex. The woman's beauty is supposed to be reserved for her husband. So why do you wear something on your heads that is pretty. Isn't it hypocritical to cover your hair with hair that is prettier than your own hair---a wig?
