My Headwraps

I love the fact that we can be cute and stylish in head-wraps/head-coverings. I for one prefer the African-American way of wrapping my hair as it denotes my culture in hip-hop and knowledge of self. I do wrap my hair in many ways and styles and love to learn new ways of wearing head-coverings.

I am mostly concerned as a women with balancing looking cute with being modest or in hebrew its “Tznuit”. You can be cute and represent yourself with style and culture at the same time. This is why I never understand women who put themselves so far out there that its like, “Do you even have any clothes on?”. I mean come on really, do you?

I want to teach my daughter that being herself is beautiful, and if she wants to make a choice to enhance beauty with makeup and accessories then she can one day. I don’t want her to think that without those things she is not beautiful. This is what the world teaches them, that unless you look like a model on a cover of a magazine, you are ugly.

This is so far from the truth, which is why I love MY Head-wraps, especially the African-American ones. They stand for beauty, for soul-sista, for independence, empowerment, self-esteem, knowledge, wisdom and understand. When we wear them, the world listens and stares. You have to be bold to wear all of that fabric on your head because people will not miss it. The same for women of all ethnicities. I have seen some very beautiful Arabic women with the nicest head wraps on with the prettiest makeup!

So here is my college of head-wrap pictures of me on stage or in my element of hip-hop, going out or in the home. All featuring a different way to style a head-covering.

Later I will write about the pros of wearing head-coverings and why most women should re-think doing it instead of labeling it a past-tense.

Shalom,
