  • Lose your Hair.Lose Your Hair.Lose Your Hair.

  • if you're not a palestinian you should not be wearing it!

  • nice video

  • what a fucking cutie!

  • can dudes were it with out it beying gay?

  • @JovanMoonshine yes they can. its called wearing it with a military uniform on a deployment :)

  • @JovanMoonshine Of course they can. Showing some culture usually gets women more interested so go for it.

    Douschbags would probably say it's gay for a guy to wear them but who cares

  • haaaaawwwwttt dddddaaayyyuuummm

  • its actually really easy? i thought there was a magical step to it; it looks so fucking complicated for a god damn scarf.

  • @SaxonWR

    I'm actually having a tougher time tying a regular scarf. :D

  • Dam the roman became arab ,

  • i am gonna be honest when she posed i got a boner

  • Always seems weird when a woman wears a shemagh. Just under a dozen trips to the Middle East I've never seen an Arab woman wear one.

    It'd be like an Arab men in Saudi wearing handbags or high heels.

  • @smellybridge yea all i see our the men wearing them around their necks

  • AHHH fuck the scarf a shemagh done in the winter is warmer 

  • she hot

    

  • This person beneath this comment, is the real cunt. U are a racist stupid bitch. 'nuff said.

  • @jsavengergirl Learn to spell, you "stupid cunt." And shemaghs are in use by the US military, and military forces around the world, so I don't think "bullshit terrorist rags" would be the correct description.

  • @jsavengergirl You really are an idiot, guess what dumbass, I have a shemagh, GUESS WHAT ELSE??? It's a USA Shemagh, hell, if what I read was correct, the British were the first to use it in the military during WWII while in Africa.

  • i love black and white more than the red ones. its more cool and goes with any outfit. i am definitely gonna copy all these styles ;)

  • Is it strange that I made this a "favorite" just because of her?

  • This really helped with my hipster Halloween costume, thanks

  • She's too sweet. I don't like it. And I wish I had a keffiyeh like that. Mine is red, plain and thick.

  • I really like the video but I really wish didn't mention Justin Timberlake because for some people, like myself, we wear it as a show of support for the Palestinian people... Not too to attain some hipster chic image... But, again, nice vid!

  • its not meant for fashion. the black and white keffiyehs are to show solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. please stop buying these without knowing the symbolism of it, I know it is a majority of people that do, but some are less intelligent.

  • @XeroChoice600

    Well if I wear a red/white one around my neck to show solidarity with all Arab people is that okay too?

  • this video cracked me up ... ' lose ure hair ' haha 

  • beautiful!

    thank you :)

  • omfg so hawt

  • wow!!i dont wanna to try the scarf..but i like this young lady hahaha...

  • Thx! That was helpful! ... gee aren't you cute!

  • Thanks for the post

  • Hey! I really do not appreciate how you always say "LOSE YOUR HAIR!" Some of us do not have hair to lose. P.S. "lose your hair" that doesn't even make sense.

  • shemagh is not fashion bitch

  • Marry me?

  • is a shemagh scarf basically one of those black and white arab scarves?

  • would the 1st method be best for us guys

  • she should just wear the shemagh and nothing more

  • O.o i gotta get one of those scarves XD i've been lookin for those for a long time haha

  • @XxTwistedEmergencyxX Just make sure that you know that they are a symbol of Palestinian Liberation. Many people become violently offended when it is worn merely as a fashion statement, without the wearer realising its cultural significance. If you want to show solidarity with the palestinian people in their current plight of Israeli Occupation, please buy one from Palestine, not from China. They can be bought at palestineonlinestore com in the section labeled "kufiyeh" (another name for it).

  • @Marcownz747 Wow thats a lot >< ok got it, maybe i might not now lol (prob. because i dont understand that stuff all that well)

  • @davidsancheztung

    lol man did you just got back from the jungle?

  • I hate when stupid muslims say Americans invaded their land and killed women and children. We invaded to retaliate and kill your coward terrorists that you people hide and protect. You don't need us to kill your women and children because your own suicide bombers take care of that. All based on a religion made up by a sociopath, Jew killer who murdered thousands of innocent people. How about you stop killing our innocents and we'll stop killing your cowardly people.

  • @uthetube09 what does that have anything to do with this video? ps. most Muslims, aren't arabs

  • @uthetube09 And you wonder why people hate you?

  • @McKarim1. Shut the f::ck up you d::mb b::tch. It's not our fault the Taliban are cowards and brought the fight to the streets where innocent ppl are. Stop trying to get a rise out of us and go jump off a bridge. F::cling piece of sh::t radical f::ck. Was the people in the towers innocent? B::tch!!!

  • u ppl r fuckin sick...invadin other countries..killin women n children .. but hey..u took our scarves 4 fashion becuz u think they r cute

  • Thx, u helped me a lot!!! ^^

  • The shemagh is an item worn by MALES for practical reasons in the hostile conditions of the Middle East. I am not Arabic nor Muslim, but I still find it disrespectful for fashionistas to turn the shemagh into just another pointless accessory to be worn while going to the mall. This is NOT just a scarf to be worn without thinking. If you want a female item, wear a hijab. At least then you get the gender right while aping Middle Eastern customs for something as pointless as "fashion."

  • @westernwarhorse

    This is such an ignorant comment. Most we wear originally had a practical purpose. Many garments changed over time and simply became worn for fashion. The shemagh is no different, it's a scarf. Just like ties, armbands, hats, etc.

    Do you find other articles of clothing offensive as well? Perhaps pants should be considered disrespectful to be worn by women not doing hard labor. You might be an ultra conservative, but if you're not you should be aware that you argue like one.

  • @Nudz

    Pants are a universal item at this point in history. No particular region or culture has any claim to them. Women wearing pants in some regions, religions, etc. would be seen as offensive, but that is entirely beyond the point. The wearing of shemaghs by fashionistas would be more akin to them adopting the turbans traditionally worn only by Sikh males. Shemaghs are not a universal item of clothing. They are a Middle Eastern item worn specifically by men. Women wear the hijab.

  • @Nudz

    Let's flip your pants example around. Traditionally, the Scottish kilt is only worn by men. Other items of clothing are intended for women. If a non-Scottish woman wore a kilt without understanding its cultural importance, traditional use, etc., she should hardly be surprised to find some Scottish people offended. I would not blame those offended but would rather blame the fashionista who ignorantly took a cultural item as insignificant beyond looking "cool."

  • @westernwarhorse

    Actually, if scots became offended by that they would be acting very ridiculous. Also, knowing quite a few scots myself I'd say none of the ones I know would be.

    The thing is that the scarf, shemagh or keffiyeh is a piece of clothing. For most of the people wearing it, in those countries, it has no more significance than that.

    And I can't see how it'd be beside the point if pants were seen as offensive. Indeed in western countries we've only recently began to accept it.

  • @Nudz

    I know plenty of Scots that would find it unnecessarily disrespectful to wear the kilt as a skirt. The same would apply to non-Scottish men wearing skirts and referring to them as "kilts," which has become popular in some circles. It holds cultural significance, and ignoring its place as such is absolutely disrespectful.

  • @westernwarhorse

    You keep saying disrespectful, which is completely subjective. They're not out to disrespect anyone, and indeed people who are offended could rightly be regarded as overly sensitive.

    The kilt in this case however, holds far higher cultural significance than the original subject, the shemagh. Even so, I can't see how people would take offense to clothing someone is wearing. Again it's back to my argument about the pants.

  • @Nudz

    I think your view is entirely misguided. If something is important to someone based on culture and tradition, the person ignorantly aping them is the bad guy in the situation. You blame the victim rather than the perpetrator.

    Also, the shemagh can have huge significance to some Arabic people. The kilt is only more widely known because non-highlanders have appropriated the kilt even though it is an item of highland culture. That does not mean the shemagh is less important overall.

  • @westernwarhorse

    Again you didn't meet my argument about the Arabs who wore it for everyday usage, to whom it holds no greater relevance. There are no victims here, no perpetrators. There's no great crime being commited.

  • @Nudz

    There is nothing to meet. You are anecdotally assuming that some Arabs place no cultural value in the shemagh, which apparently gives free reign for non-Arabs to act however they wish even if it is seen as disrespectful by some. After all, Scottish people that find it offensive for others to appropriate their national dress for fashion should "man the fuck up" and quit crying.

    Some may be offended, but who cares? Some may not care, and that's basically a blank check to do what you wish.

  • @westernwarhorse

    I say it because living where I live most of the population are arabs or iranians. For them a westerner wearing a shemagh is the same as for us seeing an asian wearing pants. It's of no consquence. I have not even once seen anyone speak out against it or be offended by it other than to think sometimes kids are silly to wear them when it's 90 degrees outside.

  • @Nudz

    So you live around some Arabs and Iranians, and they haven't said anything to you. Anecdotally, that must mean that no one is ever offended by it. Of course, maybe some of them are offended and don't say anything. Maybe some of them were raised only loosely in their traditional culture and thus do not care. Who cares what the actual context and circumstances are? No one has said anything to you personally, so that must mean it isn't offensive. If it is, they should just get over it.

  • @westernwarhorse

    Sigh, it would've been a straw man if no point was made, which it was. Most of my life I've grown up with arabs, and i feel my little "anecdotes" show that I'm one of the two in this discussion that knows anything about the actual people and who's visited the middle east (before the war), and I'm going to take a wild guess from your favorites that you're white middle class in suburban america. If I'm wrong about that I'm sorry.

  • @Nudz

    It doesn't particularly matter where I live, my socioeconomic standing, etc. My point is that the cultures of others should be respected regardless of whether or not their traditions fit with our outside worldview.

    You are now speaking of feminists using the shemagh as a symbol against Islamic traditions. Fine, if that is who you were defending to begin with, which you weren't. This video is not about feminism in the West trying to affect change in the Middle East. It is about fashion.

  • @Nudz

    You are trying to link Islamic feminists operating within their own religious and racial culture to Western fashionistas when they are hardly linked in any meaningful way, if at all.

    It seems that you disagree with traditional forms of Islam and thus support disrespecting traditions while pretending no disrespect is intended. Feminists wearing traditional male forms of clothing ARE disrespecting tradition because they are trying to affect change. That has nothing to do with mere fashion.

  • @westernwarhorse

    continued:

    Arab female teenagers wear the shemagh, buddy. They recent the very position you take, which is that of a male dominated and oppressive society where women are told what they can and cannot do.

    Many of them are glad that the western society started to wear shemaghs, because it helps them further their position. It's one of several things that for them represent women's rights. Sometimes help to change your cultures notion comes from outside.

  • @Nudz

    This is a pointless debate. You clearly take issue with traditional forms of Islam, and it isn't my place to defend the rights of Muslims to follow their own traditions in their own countries because you don't like them.

    Also, you are now trying to link non-Arabic fashionistas with Arabic feminists. One clearly does not equate to the other, and it is highly doubtful that any of the former are actually motivated by the latter.

  • @westernwarhorse

    Actually, if I'll speak less eloquently and just get to the point, I guess I'd just say that the people offended need to chill out and then man the fuck up and stop being offended over something like clothing.

  • @Nudz

    Well, then, I can see this is pointless. Nothing can be important to anyone lest they are willing to allow the ignorant to ape them for fashion and the like. If they find such nonsense offensive, they are the villain for daring to care about their traditions and culture being turned into the epitome of western arrogance and ignorance. If you like it, it's just as much yours as it is theirs. "Man the fuck up" and get over the fact that your culture has been reduced to a fashion statement.

  • @westernwarhorse

    Again with the aping, you seem absolutely unable to grasp the concept of cultural exchange.

    I also see that saying man the fuck up has offended you terribly.

    Again. If someone sees the lack of wearing something as offensive, in this case hijab, should we also respect that? Should we be ok with women being forced to wear something out of respect? After all, it's cultural! Cultures are untouchable!

  • @Nudz

    If you do not live in a Muslim country, no one is asking that you don their clothing. You are the one arguing in favor of adopting their clothing without acknowledging the fact that it holds significance for many people - culturally, politically, tribally, religiously, etc. If you do not like the fact that hijabs are required for women in some countries, my advice would be to not visit those countries. If you don't like the traditions, don't wear any of it.

    Nice attempt straw-man though.

  • @Nudz

    Let me reiterate my point. The shemagh is a traditional item of male clothing. That tradition does not change because you do not like it. It can have deep tribal, political, and religious importance throughout the Middle East and to the Muslim diaspora throughout the rest of the world. That does not change because you do not like it.

    You are aping someone else's culture and deciding that their traditions have no value compared to how good a fashionista looks while going to the mall.

  • @westernwarhorse

    No, what I'm saying is stop crying. Are you also then saying that the people outside of those tribes that just wear it as an everyday garment with no further meaning are disrespecting them? If not, you're saying that there can be no cross cultural exchange of clothing or that a piece of clothing can't mutate in it's usage?

  • And you constantly refer to male, but refuse to meet my argument about pants. It was absolutely inconceivable, in our culture, for a woman to wear pants not very long ago. Is it disrespectful of them now to wear pants? What about corsets? In our culture people of low birth could not wear them for any reason, the same with many sorts of jewelry. When does it become ok? Why does it become ok? Why is it not?

    Cultural exchange has always been around, it's not "aping".

  • @Nudz

    Your pants theme does not matter. You are talking about a cultural change within a single culture. It does not matter to this discussion that women can wear pants in the West now but could not in the past. That is a culture making an internal change about how it views something in common usage in its own group. The same goes for the fact that certain fabrics, styles, jewelry, etc. were all reserved for certain groups in the West. That is the West changing for the West's sake.

  • @westernwarhorse

    And what about the countries wearing western clothes, pants for instance. Was that disrespectful to us?

  • @Nudz

    Most forms of western clothing worn by people in other countries do not hold any cultural significance for any particular group. The exception would be forms of national dress, but you have already established that everyone should "man the fuck up" and get over it.

  • @westernwarhorse

    They really should. Especially since cultures have never been self contained, and neither have clothing. It's constantly evolving and being exchanged across borders.

    I'm being crude because honestly these arguments bring out the worst in me.

    It's mandatory for women to wear the hijab, which you mention often, even if they don't want to, in many countries. Is that something to respect? Is it disrespectul to wear the hijab in our culture, considering how many people dislike it?

  • @Nudz

    In many Muslim countries, the hijab is required. That is why US service personnel and reporters will often don them when in those countries as a form of respect. You may not respect the tradition, but that matters little.

    If women want to wear Middle Eastern headgear, they can wear the hijab even in similar patterns to the shemagh. That is seen as respectful in Arabic countries, and I do not see why it would be seen differently in the West by the people that matter, i.e. the Arabs.

  • @Nudz

    If you and those like you do not like the hijab, do not wear it. Simple. Women purposely wearing the shemagh when a female version is available certainly are making no effort to be respectful of the other culture, if not purposely disrespecting it. If it is about nothing more than the pattern, why can the hijab not be worn? Why must it be the male shemagh?

  • @westernwarhorse

    You don't even understand the argument I'm talking about. Have you ever been to a country where they are forced to wear the hijab? That's what I'm talking about. They don't have a choice in not wearing it, because the males there demand they do. It's their culture. I'm asking, is that also something to respect? That people are forced to wear something as opposed to not being allowed to wear something?

  • @Nudz

    Oh, I understand your argument. You dislike the Islamic tradition of requiring women to wear the hijab, and you apparently feel no need to respect the traditions of others in their own countries. My personal view on the hijab, or Islam in general, does not matter because I do not live in an Islamic country. I simply spoke out against fashionistas ignorantly appropriating things from other cultures, and you have seemingly argued based on your own bias against traditional forms of Islam.

  • @Nudz

    In short, most rational adults would respect the traditions of a country they are visiting because you are in their country. That is why you see Western military personnel and reporters wearing the hijab when in a country that expects it. You accuse me of arguing like an ultra-conservative, but you are the one arguing in favor of only respecting things that you like. Only your worldview and that of those that agree with you holds any merit. Sounds like a Fundamentalist to me.

  • I ran out of room. But also the hijab and the turbans are religious garments, whereas the shemagh isn't.

    And back to pants, you said "at this point in history". At what point then did they become acceptable? And why? You can draw straight parallels to that and your arguments against the shemagh, which you find offensive for no other reason than the fact that it's worn as an item of fashion and beauty, by the "wrong" gender.

    And, at least in Sweden, most who wear these scarves are not hipsters.

  • @Nudz

    The shemagh holds significance for many in the Middle East because it is seen as an item of male clothing that can have tribal, political, and religious meaning.

    Your entire argument is that the person appropriating someone else's culture decides whether or not tradition matters. That is extremely arrogant and insulting. The shemagh is not the same as pants to the people that see meaning in them as well as utilitarian function regardless of how little fashionistas value their opinion.

  • Hot girls make anything look good, despite her shit styles there it looked good.

  • In Afghanistan or other middleeast country's it is use to protect the skin from the burning sun, cover the nose, mouth, ears and eyes from sand and it keeps you warm in the cold desert-night. Not for fashion.

    And it is also widely used within the norwegian military and other country's that are fighting in afghanistan just because of its practical use.

  • oh nice.. so this is what we fight for... :/

    oh, well.. at least she's cute

  • mmmhh...che bona...

  • and this is for the desert storm realy ?

  • go to palestine and call it a fashion item, i dare you.

  • @DustinTheGoth WHAT HE SAID!!!! FASHION ITEM LOL Don't forget about the meaning of that scarf of your neck - Lowkey

  • Lol kinda reminds me of a male Brúno xD

  • u slut.

  • I rap one of these around my head for airsoft...

  • this is not for fashon its for war fair and a symbly of the palastilan up riseing agenced the british invadeing forces so anyone who wares this should know what they wareing and what it means.

  • @shorrty333 That is only true in Palestine and for people that only are concerned about that issue alone. There is a SPECIFIC way to wear it to display that symbol, and it only pertains to the black and white Keffiyeh.

  • @shorrty333 In the rest of the world, it is a scarf for many purposes: head protection from the elements, face protection for dust, and even a covering for your neck (i.e. in Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, UAE, etc).

    And anyone who gets on the net to put out only partially correct information should atleast have half an ideaof how to spell and what words mean.

  • @shorrty333 I'm calling troll. It is a piece of clothing from the region. Love you little troll monster.

  • @shorrty333 either you're the dumbest human being on the planet (outside of texas) or you're a troll, i'm calling troll though.

  • I looooove the Middle Eastern culture. Why should it be such a problem that us Westerners embrace some of the cool things about your culture too? Stop being so closed off this world is getting smaller and smaller! We have to learn how to share. And on the same note yes us Westerners need to get a clue! We need culture classes taught in Middle school! It's crazy how little people know about other cultures here in the U.S. A shame.

  • You are beautifull!

  • Two words. Marry me.

  • @Boredoutofmywits

    What she said...

  • @Boredoutofmywits thts 4

  • BTW I'm not arab, nor Palestinian, neighther serving in the army. I got my keffiyeh from my mother on my 18th birthday. She got it on hers *from* a palestinian. She told me that I had to *earn* my right to have it and every time I put it around my neck I'm extremely proud to have it.

  • Something tells me that she [and over 90% of the mall-kids running around with their pink/purple/yellow/skull imprinted "shemagh" have absolutely no idea of what it means or where it comes from. But oh well...at leas they know what it's called] Maybe niqabs will become trendy next year and we'll see hello kitty niqabis running loose at Wallmart.... Or wait! I know! A zebra imprinted kilt!
