@thinkerbelle02 EXCUSE ME PLEASE, GELE DOES NOT MEAN THE MATERIAL BUT HEAD GEAR. AND CAN BE MADE FROM ANY KIND OF MATERIAL (NEVER PAPER). U CAN TIE "GELE" WITH ASO-OKE, KENTE MATERIAL, LINEN, JACCKARD, ANKARA OR LACE MATERIALS. THEREFORE, GELE IN YORUBALAND MEANS HEADGEAR OR HEADTIE AND IT'S NOT MADE OF A PARTICULAR MATERIAL ONLY.
@antrionettiee, I don't mean paper as in paper you write on. But that's what my parents, aunts, uncles, and everyone I know calls the material that is not aso-oke or ankara or any of that.
@Lonniewang, I know it's not real paper. I guess I should have tried clarifying--but that's just the word we use to describe that kind of gele material.
Your gele looks beautiful and pretty simple to tie. This head wrap would be perfect to go with costumes for a play I'm directing soon. I noticed you mention that they can be made from paper! If so, what kind? If you use fabric, what kind of fabric and what do you use for starch? Thanks.
Please someone tell me the length and width of the fabric needed to tie a Gele. Great video on tieing it :)

@ABUKKYLICIOUS, I never said that Gele meant the material. I specifically said that I'm teaching them how to tie a head-tie, also known as gele.
I'm Yourba, so I'm not just talking out of my behind.

Why would you say that a gele is made out of PAPER???? There is NO gele in the world that is made from paper.
