Introducing... Clap for that Wrap Style Series!

Flashback Summer: Clap for that Wrap style series - head wrap, head scarf

It must be pretty obvious by now that I love head wraps/ headscarves/ fabric stylishly wound around my head.  It comes from both my love of easy vintage looks and the time I spent in East Africa surrounded by ladies that rocked head wraps for religious, cultural, and style reasons.  I was hooked!

I want to make some space on this blog to showcase and celebrate the head-wrapping creativity of my readers and the vintage community, and I'm calling it the "Clap for that Wrap" series!  I'll be posting every other Wednesday to begin with, and posts will include head wrapping tutorials, style inspiration, history, and tips from various people. 

I'm also going to feature head wrap photos on Wednesdays, and I'd love to share yours!  If you have a head wrap style you're especially proud of, tag it with #FSwrapclap and I may feature it on my personal Twitter and/or Instagram account!

If you would like to be featured in a Clap for that Wrap Wednesday post, feel free to email me with your post idea and a sample picture, and we'll see if we can get you scheduled in!  I can't wait to see the unique wraps you guys wear!

  1. I love this idea Emileigh! Inspired by you, I am hoping to get into wearing more head wraps this year. I currently wear thin wraps with a hair roll, but really want to try a turban for something other than hair curling. My main issue is not wanting my already oversized head to appear too large, and also to mix up my prints/florals. Almost all my clothes, and all my hairbands are floral, and I am not too keen on print clash

    1. I also have a large head, but head wraps or turbans don't seem to make it seem ginormous. The bigger the head wrap... the smaller your head underneath looks, haha!

  3. Fabulous post series idea! I share your love of head wraps to no end. They've also served very pragmatic purposes for me over the years. In my pre-wig days they were great for hiding thinning hair and in the years since, they've been a really handy way to help my wig look more like real hair.

    Can't wait to see what you share with us!

  4. I'm really excited to see your posts for this series! I *love* headwraps and head scarves, but I have never worn any because I feel like it would be appropriative; I'm neither from a culture nor religious tradition that includes that type of dress, and there seem to be pretty limited secular / white headcovering fashions that aren't offensive. Knowing how culturally aware you are, I'm assuming you have some thoughts on that!

    1. There are actually a LOT of head wraps that aren't specifically religious or cultural, and we'll be going over several of those! Not to mention, there will be several guest posters that wear head wraps for different reasons, so you'll get to hear from all sorts of worldviews!
