Here's how to tie a head wrap with long hair, based on the video reference provided:
The key is to secure the wrap firmly despite the added bulk of long hair. While the provided reference doesn't explicitly detail methods specific to long hair, the basic technique of tying a head wrap can be adapted.
Steps to Tying a Head Wrap with Long Hair:
-
Prepare Your Hair:
- Gather your long hair into a low bun or ponytail at the nape of your neck to minimize bulk at the top of your head. This will prevent it from getting in the way while tying the head wrap.
-
Position the Scarf:
- Drape the scarf over your head, ensuring even lengths on both sides. The scarf should cover your hairline where you would like it to begin.
-
Tie the Initial Knot:
- Bring both ends of the scarf towards the back of your head and tie a basic knot. This creates the foundational base for your head wrap.
-
Secure the Knot:
-
As mentioned in the video reference, tie a double knot to secure the head wrap. This extra knot is crucial for a more secure hold, especially when dealing with long hair that can make a head wrap feel more unstable.

-
Create the Drape:
- Bring the remaining ends of the scarf forward and arrange them to achieve your desired look. You can drape them down the front as mentioned in the video, or tuck them away. [7:55] "You can then bring this down in the front. And you have a really really nice drape."
-
Adjust and Style : Make minor adjustments to the wrap to achieve your desired look. This may include tucking ends, tightening the scarf, or adjusting the drape.

Tips for Long Hair:
- Use a wider scarf: A wider scarf can better accommodate the bulk of long hair.
- Secure hair ties or pins: To keep hair out of your face, use small hair ties or pins at the nape of your neck or around your ears.
