Here are some of her tips to help you Style your Doek like a pro;
– For those who are new to head wrapping, it is advisable to use clip art pins.
Those will help you tuck in weird pieces that you don’t understand and will also help you create the shape you want.
– Start your head from back If you are going to tie your wrap at the front.
– The shape of your face tells you what kind of head wrap would look best on you. If you have a round face, the round- shaped head wrap works better. The high bun looks good on oval-faced people.
– For ladies with short hair, never wear a single head wrap. The trick is to wear another head wrap underneath. This helps give you a great shape.
– Don’t look in the mirror, because your hands’ reflection will confuse you. Your brain will tell you to do something but your eyes and your hands will do something different. Only go back to it when it’s time to do the final fix, and tuck in unnecessary pieces.
