Instructions on how to  tie your
African head-gear (Gele)

Tying your head-gear is as easy as making a bow but more versatile. The following steps will work you through the basics styles; well they are as versatile as your imagination can take you.

Step 1: Start by folding the head gear piece to a width of about six inches. This can be achieved by folding the piece in half lengthwise twice or so.

Step 2: Rap the piece around your head with the right extending about one and half of the left side.

Step 3: Push in the left side but keep the ends out while crossing the right side over (on top of the left end); also keep the right-side ends out.

Step 4:  Pull both ends as tight as desired. Push the left side while pulling the right side to get the desired comfort.

Step 5: Push in the right side only from where it touches the left side but without pulling it all the way through. This forms a bow.

Step 6: You may now move this bow to the front, side or leave it on the back; the choice is yours.

Step 7: Spread out the two ends to obtain a rose petal look, or pin the two ends to obtain yet another look. The different styles and looks are endless. You'll be surprised what you can achieve by experimenting.

Always keep your head gear piece crisp with a spray starch for better results.

 

How to tie or wear your African wrap-skirt


Starting with the wrap, ensure that the embroidered end (if any) is on the outside flap.

with your legs apart (to give you room for walk-steps), hold the two ends of the wrap - with the embroidered end on your right;

tuck in the left side to the right side of waist, making sure that the top end of it sticks out above the tuck;

take the right side and wrap it towards the left side of your waist;

pull the left and right ends towards the back and make a knot as tight as you need;

pull the layers from the bottom so that the bottom edges are even.

You can wear the wrap long (waist-ankle) or short (waist-below-knee) by wrapping the skirt long or short.
