Head Scarves and Spring Cleaning!

The month of March brings back memories of 3rd grade when my teacher taught us “March comes in like a Lion and leaves like a Lamb.” I find warmth in the cold beginnings of March knowing that spring is just around the corner. And once spring arrives, all I want to do is just get out of the house and revel in the delicious spring weather. But there’s work for me at home, too. Being cooped up all winter has taken its toll on the house. The window need to be washed, the curtains and comforters aired and the dust attacked. Time to roll up my sleeves, turn on the music, get out the cleansers and scrub!

So first thing I’ll do is tie up my hair and reach for my favorite head covering. I hate the feeling of sticky hair on my neck, and trust me, we’re gonna be workin up a sweat. My favorite head covering is a pre-tied bandana headscarf made of cotton fabric. It is stretchy, breathable, keeps the hair away from my neck and is a fabulous floral print – just what I feel like wearing in this spring cleaning season!

I like to clean with natural ingredients like lemon juice or vinegar. Lemon juice I definitely want to keep outta my hair – I’m just fine with the color, thank you… And vinegar – I don’t even want to think about what would happen if that got in my hair! Plus, when I’m dusting where do you think most of the dust ends up? On me…Thank you pre-tied bandana!

Like I mentioned earlier, I do work up a sweat cleaning away on those beautiful first days of spring so I have other replacement head covers to change into when the need arises. There is my comfy cotton beret, cotton paisley headscarves and other assorted hats and caps I’ve picked up over the years. So this spring when you reach for the cleansers, take my advice and reach for a head scarf as well!

The Great Hair Fiasco by B.Levi

Ok everybody, here’s the scene:

A beautiful white embroidered tablecloth adorns the table. The vase with some utterly stunning flowers sits right in the middle and your brand new dear husband’s face shines with pride as he sees his parents (your new in-laws) take in the scene of a table set so perfectly  that even your mother-in-law can’t find a flaw in it. Your father-in-laws content slurping of your delicious creme de la creme of something or another that sounded French enough,  fills the room.

All of a sudden you see a grimace cross your mother-in-law’s face. Then the slurping abruptly stops. A confused look crosses your husbands brow.

Your mother-in-law clears her throat quietly. Then says in an oh so quiet voice that tells you that you know you’ve made her night as she’s finally found a flaw. Dear, there’s a hair in my soup.

Shooots!

Yep, we all gotta deal with it. What oh what do you wear in the kitchen so this scene doesn’t happen. Instead your MIL’s night remains a failure and your FIL and Husband end up full!

Here are some recomendations from MyHeadcoverings.com.

Go fun and funky in this Pink Tiger Pre-tied Bandana. And if that’s not to your taste, find one that is here! There are ton’s to choose from so go ahead and pick your favorite color, or one to match your apron or even your kitchen decor!

Not a pre-tied fan? No need to fret, try a cute beret and just make sure to tuck all your hair inside. You may want to go with the larger size beret (regular) if you have a lot of hair.

Snoods are also a great head cover when working in the kitchen. What’s our favorite? Cotton Blend Snood by Rose is incredibly light and airy making it the perfect choice for hot work in the kitchen.

The Rhyme and Reason for Head Covers

Head Covers

Just as the different forms of Women’s Head covers are diverse, so too are the many different reasons why a woman would wear them.

We figured we’d put together a short list of the many different reasons why women cover their hair and to make things interesting we decided to throw in some tips on how to look for a Head covering dependant on your reason for covering.

1)      Bad Hair Day- a universal reason – You wake up in the morning after tossing on your pillow all night and your hair is a wreck. With no time to style this morning voila! whip out your head covering and your ready to go and no one is any the wiser to the mess under the “cover”.

If this is your reason for covering then we suggest that you keep to something simple that doesn’t take much time but still is a pretty complete cover like a Hat or Pre-tied Bandana they only take a second to put on and are pretty comfortable as well.

2)      Sunny Day- Another top reason is simple “keep the sun out of my eyes. Obviously if this your reason for covering, then make sure to chose something that is both cool and comfortable as well comes equipped with a brim something like our wide brim hats or caps.

3)      Religious Reason- If your covering up for religious purposes then in many cases and the point is not to have your hair showing through then stay away from anything that’s made of chiffon since usually it wont do the trick. A Crochet Snood with the lining is great for this purpose.

4)      Keep your hair in place- You don’t usually cover and the sun is not out but you just had your hair made and don’t really want it flapping all over the place especially in your eyes. Well in this case you really don’t even need a standard headcover. You can try a wide Pretied soft headband to do the trick.

5)      Chemotherapy- One of the unfortunate side affects of Chemo is Hair Loss. As a woman bravely battles disease she wants to maintain her dignity and look. Women who are looking for a headcoveering to help them deal with cancer are best off staying away from Gray fabrics, looking for something towards the brighter side as it will help bring out “color”.  Also stay away from polyester fabrics as they are itchy and  not comfortable on the scalp.

6)      Hair Loss- Besides for Chemo there are women who lose their hair from Alopecia or trichotillomania. Many women suffering from Hair loss from any cause and want to enjoy the benefits and comforts of a Pre-tied Bandana chose “pre-tieds with Height” as they give off a more natural look. Another way to go if you are looking for something that will give off height is “Classic Snoods” with a twist front.

Pre-tieds with Height

 

Pre-tied with Height

Hi everybody,

At MyHeadcoverings.com we have just unrolled a brand new product line: Pre-tied Bandanas with Height (aka Padded Pre-tieds or Foam Fillers)

Pre-tied with Height.

What exactly is a Pre-tied with Height?

Well a regular Pre-tied Bandana is made from one piece of cloth and as such it is a very flat Head covering. Some people love the look of the pre-tied but feel it looks too flat on their head. Many women have asked for a head covering that has the comfort, versatility and ease of use of the Pre-tied Head scarf but at the same time has a little bit of height in the front.

Enter the Pre-tied with Height.

The Pre-tied with height is a regular pre-tied bandana that has an extra panel (around 2 inches) sewn onto the front with a piece of foam or fabric inside that gives the front of the pre-tied a little more height.

Who can benefit from a Pre-tied with Height?

Well first off, simply for style there are women who prefer the look of a head covering with height such as women who are used to wearing Classic snoods with the twist front.

Also, women who have very thin or no hair, as well as those who suffer from hair loss from causes such as chemo or alopecia areata, and wish to have a head cover that gives off some height should find Pre-tieds with height to be an ideal head covering.

We are starting this line off with three of the top brands in womens head coverings: Cherie, Dacee Designs, and Uptown Girls Snoods. With the range of Pre-tieds with height we now carry, we’re sure you’ll find something to suit you!

Hope you enjoy!
