How To Tie Your Tichel Pt.2

A tutorial on how to tie your headscarf. I'm agnostic, so, I don't cover all of my hair. If you want to be "correct", please make sure that you cover your ears in order to cover all hair.

Ha, I've been tying mine too tight and it does slide off! I thought that if I made it tighter it would stay on better (or that I just had a funny shaped head) :P I'm new to this headscarf thing- I'm atheist and really just do it when I don't have time to wash my hair. Thanks for the helpful video!

@sadpandaa Your welcome! Another trick is to wear an under hijab underneath, or just another scarf or headband that the top scarf can catch on. You can also wear a barrette or clippie at your hairline then take a straight pin and straight pin through the scarf, then through your hair, out through the scarf (if you know what I mean) right in front of the barrette/clippie. The straight pin will catch on the barrier in your hair and stop the scarf from sliding back.

Do you get strange stares on the street? lol. I've always been curious- Do Jewish and Muslim women find it offensive or strange for women of different faiths to wear a head covering in this manner? I do so occasionally for the style. I'm agnostic too. :)

[cabbitt511]

I've actually found that I get more stares with a bonnet than I do with a head scarf! When one muslimah ask me if I was muslim and when she found out I wasn't she was just curious as to why I covered, then she said she was impressed. More often than not they respect your decision to cover despite not being of their faith. They think it is extraordinary that women who are not encouraged to cover by faith would cover because of personal beliefs. I've encountered ots of mutual respect!

i love the tichel, and i am christian, not jewish or muslim. i want to begin wearing the tichel, but where can i find the material to do so? can u find such fabirc at Walmart, or should i go to a fabric store?

[cabbitt511]

I actually just buy mine. There are many great places to buy them for cheap, e-bay, Modest World, pretty much all over the net. You can use tichels, but you can also use a hijab and then tie it like a tichel. The scarf I'm using in this tutorial is actually sold as a hijab! Hijab are usually cheaper. You can also make your own if you please, all you need is a rectangle or square of fabric of your choice. Use any you like! Though, a fabric that is a little rough and catches hair will stay better.

You did a great job. I like the many different ways people wear scarves.

its not offensive at all to me, i'm muslim. but i do find it a little weird that not all the hair is covered. if your gonna cover most of your hair, why not go the extra mile to be a little more modest. any who i appauld the maker of this video and any other women who covers, for we are truly free from the chains of nakedness this world wants us to be in. its truly awful lol....its nice to see non muslims cover its like whooop whoop! lol....

love this look. I am a black woman and on occasion have worn my hair covered with the same sock bun. I have had a hard time finding a variety on nice scarves that don't have to much slip.

@lostgrl06 As a non-muslim who covers with a similar headcovering, I push the head cover back a little bit. Most people realize that this is not a hijab that belongs to a muslim. However, the common assumption is not that I'm Jewish (I'm not either) or being modest, but that I'm a cancer patient. I feel badly for upsetting many people who see me as a young woman undergoing chemo. I find that most people do not make this assumption when my hairline is visible.

I am Christian and i also wear a tichel, i have been wearing for awhile but didn't know what it was called! thanks for the video i can now tie it a whole lot easier lol!

[SandyGBanecks]

[liza4222Irule]

I like the Tichel. It looks so nice, and Im not jewish at all.

[MsM0M3]

Thank you! I've been wondering how to do that! I've just been wearing hats. Time to upgrade. Going to try it for this coming Shabbat (Sabbath)

I'm an agnostic too (from a Muslim background), I've never covered my hair, and don't plan on, but I just wanted to say that I have an immense respect for you!
