Here's how to tie a basic head wrap for natural hair, including instructions for a classic style:
Basic Middle Knot Head Wrap
This method, sometimes called the "basic middle button," is a simple and elegant way to tie a square head wrap.
Materials Needed:
- Square scarf (choose a size and material you prefer)
Instructions:
- Fold the Scarf: Lay the square scarf flat and fold it in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
- Position on Head: Place the long edge of the triangle along your forehead, with the pointed end (the triangle's tip) facing the back of your head.
- Tie the Ends: Take the two ends of the long edge and tie them together in a knot at the center of your forehead. Make sure the knot is secure but not too tight.
- Adjust and Tuck: Take the pointed end of the triangle (at the back of your head) and either tuck it under the knot at the front or neatly fold it and tuck it under the wrap at the back of your head.
- Final Adjustments: Adjust the fabric around your head to achieve the desired look and ensure comfort. You can play with the fullness and position of the knot.
