Eternal Bun

On top is our least complicated and easy to make Eternal Bun Head Wrap. You only need a few minutes to get it done. Follow these steps to get an eternal bun:

The eternal bun is perhaps the least complicated headwrap style, and it will only take you a couple of minutes to style. Sometimes, people complain that their head wraps slips off their hair too easily. To make sure that doesn’t happen, you need to give a minute to style your hair properly, especially the front ends. You can use a gel or a hair spray like Tigi Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray to style the hair the way you like. Products like these provide maximum hold to keep your style in place.

Once you are done, hold your hair in a topknot form, ensuring that the knot goes ahead of your crown. Choose the headwrap that you want to use and hold it against the nape of your neck.

Then, cover your head with the wrap properly, hiding your ears within the wrap. After you have adjusted the fabric at the front of your head, tie a knot at the nape right in the centre. Wind the loose ends of the wrap in a spiral form around the topknot making a nice bun around it.

Bow Style

Next on our list is the Bow Style Head Wrap. This one is best suited for long afro hair or short natural hair. Before you get to the headwrap part, give a minute to your hair styling. When done, fold the headwrap once, hiding the edges of the fabric on the inside. Then, wrap the headwrap around the back of your head, covering up your ears. In the front, make sure the edges of the headwrap are fairly equal to each other. Tie the edges well in a knot. After you have tied the knot, hold the edges of the wrap and proceed for a bow (just like you do with your shoelaces). Pull the fabric to see if the bow is tight.

Once you are satisfied with the tightness, tuck the loose ends under the headwrap. Now, fluff the bow nicely and spread it out for a perfect look.

Twisted Headband

On number 3, we have the Twisted Headband Head Wrap style. Make sure; you have styled your hair nicely before you try this one. Now, take the head wrap and hold it against the back of your head and bring the edges forward.

At this moment, do not tie a knot. Hold the two edges tightly and take them around each other, twisting them. Once they have swapped places, you will have a nice twist in the centre. Pull the two edges towards the back and tie a knot once or twice depending upon the level of comfort.

Sophisticated Knot

It is somewhat similar to the twisted headband headwrap style. So, make sure you have styled your hair right before you start. Start by holding the head wrap against the nape of your neck. Make sure you have covered the back as much as possible. Now, pull the two edges forward and see if they are fairly equal to each other. Bring the edges forward at the centre and tie a knot.  Once, the first knot is locked in properly, tie a second knot. Hold the back edge, the one that is close to your hair and tuck it into the back. Open the fabric of the other edge and cover the knot under it. Finally, tuck the end inside your head wrap.

Nefertiti Head Wrap

If you are more into the ancient Egyptian civilization, the Nefertiti Head Wrap is for you. Before you get started with “The Nefertiti”, you can make a base lower with an under a scarf or something similar. Hold the under scarf against the back of your head with one end short and the other one long. Wrap the short side to the front (right above your forehead) covering your ear. Now, roll the longer edge of the under scarf over it. Keep rolling it around for a base foundation.

In the end, tuck the edge in the fabric. Now, fold the headwrap once or twice depending upon the size of your head wrap. Just like the under the scarf, wrap the shorter edge to the side. Wrap the longer one around your head again and again till the end remains. Keep the basic shape in mind and make sure it isn’t loose at all. Tuck the end of the fabric into the folds of the headwrap.
