"Hi, I'm Terri, and in this segment I'm going to teach you how to tie a head wrap. Now, a head wrap is something that'll cover your entire hair, so it's great if you want to protect your hair from the elements, or maybe you're going on a bike ride or something and you want to keep it out of your face. So, I'm just using a regular handkerchief. A lot of people have these at home. It's folded into a V, so you want to fold it in half from a square into a triangle. Once you've done that you're going to go ahead and start by placing it right on the forehead, and then going underneath, and tying a nice tight knot so that it doesn't slip off, okay. And then, with this extra piece you can either just leave it hanging, or you can tuck it into the sides if you want, and again, ensuring that it's nice and tight. And then, go ahead and adjust it to where you want it. You can leave a couple of pieces hanging there if you want for style, or you can go ahead and tuck them right in. You can leave the ears tucked in, or if, some people like to show their ears as well. And that is your basic head wrap, and how to tie it."

on 5/28/2009 I don't think this video is an example of 'head wrapping'. I believe it is catagorized incorrectly. It should read 'how to tie a scarf'. To really learn 'how to tie a head wrap', look for osundesigns' "Gele Magic!" The Beginners Guide to the Art of Head Wrapping.
