The top 3 questions about wrapping

Here are the top 3 questions with sub-questions I get asked about my wraps and my honest answers:

1. Will this actually work for me?

1. Will it stay on my head? - Yes, but depending on your hair type, you may or may not need a head band, bobo, and/or bobby pins to hold it in place.

   • Will it work for my hair type / amount of hair / texture? - My wraps are very versatile and I have had several friends and models with various hair textures, thicknesses, and lengths wear my wraps with no issues. The question will depend on finding a wrap style and pattern you like along with a way to secure it in place if needed.

   • Will it feel comfortable for hours? - All of my wraps are made from various types of fabric. Some are thicker and some are thinner. The key is to wear a wrap that you will be comfortable in while taking the temperature/environment into consideration. I would not recommend wearing a thicker wrap in the summer because it would not be comfortable for very long. If you are concerned about the texture of a wrap, you can always wear a bobo under it so the scarf doesn't directly touch your scalp.
   • Will I feel confident and not self-conscious wearing it? - That is a very personal decision that I can not answer for you, but I always recommend starting off with baby steps if you are new to wrapping. You can wear a scarf in your house by your self for a few minutes, an hour, or a day. You can take pictures of yourself wearing a scarf and only show them to trusted loved ones for honest feedback. You can wear a scarf in your car then take it off when you get outside, or wear them for a short trip like to get a coffee. Take baby steps, and remember it's perfectly natural to feel self-conscious at first.
     

2. What does wearing this say about me?

1. Is this fashion or functional? - Both! My wraps can be worn many different ways, for a variety of purposes.

   • Is this modest, spiritual, bold, artistic, edgy, feminine, counter-cultural? - Depending on why you wrap, the answer can fit into any of these categories.

   • Does this align with my values, lifestyle, and aesthetics? - That answer depends on you and why you wrap and how you wear your wrap.

3. Why this scarf instead of the 1,000 others?

1. Is this special or just another scarf? - I source all of the fabrics myself. I don't buy any pre-made scarves from a catalogue. I bring all of the fabric to my manufacturer and package and ship every order. When you get a Sorrell Hair Wrap, you are getting a scarf that is seen from start to finish by me.

   • Is it mass-produced or meaningful? - All wraps are made in very small batches because the fabric makes a limited quantity of scarves, which makes each one truly unique and meaningful.

   • Is there a scarcity, story, or craftsmanship here? - I wanted to help save last chance and gently used fabrics from going into the landfill. Each Sorrell Hair Wrap is made from these fabrics, creating a story of renewed life and sustainability. Each scarf is only made once and in very limited quantities.
