As the headwrap comes in various styles this means it also caters to be worn in other ways. Allow headwraps to elevate your outfit from a basic fit to a sizzling outfit.

These are some of the styles you can choose to wear your headwrap as provided by entrepreneur and digital content creator Tamia Nontsikelelo.

Topknot style

  • To achieve this style gather the material up neatly and braid as close to your scalp as possible.
  • Avoid braiding all the way possible.
  • Swirl into a circular motion and tuck in the end.

Low bun style 

  • Wear you headwrap and cross the bring.
  • After this the one side should be diagonally on the opposite side and vise versa.
  • Gather the material and plave it where the bun begins.
  • Tuck in the end pieces for a clean finish.

To acheiev a more volumious look, wear another headwrap underneath to create a bigger bun.

Half done headwrap style 

Use two headwraps, one will be used to achieve the look while the other will be to complete the final look and style.

  • With your foundation wrap, twist it and tie a low long oval shape,
  • Use the one long side of your second headwrap to secure and wrap around the existing long oval bun.
  • As you do this, tuck in the access.
  • Allow the second piece to hang.
