Dear Tova....You are adorable!! I wish I'd seen this video 40 yrs ago. A pivotal job interview ended with "I'll hire you if you get rid of the shmattah" Off it went and now at age 65 and covering again, I cannot tell you how important this video is for any religious woman, Jewish and otherwise who has to work in the so-called professional world. G-d bless you and Wrapunzel.
I LOVE THIS! Even though I am not Jewish, I admire you both-such a sense of joy and peace! I have learned so much about modesty (and other subjects) from Andrea's wonderful videos. Thank you so much!
I'm a young Muslim woman and love the wrapunzel videos. I started wearing my hijab (turban) on the day I got married. I was already working in my job when I got married and I just didn't speak about my head wrap whit my boss. I work in a fair trade shop and the costumers doesn't treat me differently at all. An my boss just told me the how much it suits me and if I could show her how to wear it 😊 I think I'm really blessed with how easy it went out because I heard really different stories!
This video is so helpful! I would love to see some tutorials by Tova, because she and I have similar shaped faces and I'd love to know how she looks so elegant and gets her wraps to be so height-enhancing.
I went to a job interview wearing tichel, and showed in no sense judgement. It was however, after I didn't wear my tichel after the interview that I started being picked on. I found this very strange. It was like, "oh, she isn't wearing that scarf thing...she is normal just like the rest of us so let us see how well she works." I saw that once I showed my hair, that it was like a veil being taken down between me and the employees. When I covered up, they closed all communication around me, they ignored me, and they made NO eye contact for communication or seemed scared to even approach me. This is strange how people think. They still judge, they still discriminate. It may not be in a loud way, but, still discrimination within the work-place through actions, body language and non-verbal type of communication. I would much rather wear my tichel at work and at job interviews only because I feel like G-d is with me, all the time. It is more personal with me and the L-rd. Not with me and my co-workers or the company I work for, or me and the public. But, because, I was starting be treated differently once I got hired and I was being picked on quietly, subtly. I chose to back away and end my position with the company. There may be "no bullying" everywhere we go, but, it is just a fine line between actions and non-verbal communication. Even though, I am not as orthodox as other Jews, I still consider myself a Jew who loves G-d and I am proud to represent my L-rd and G-d of Israel through wearing my tichel in public wherever I go. Bottom line, when I wear my tichel(s), I believe that the L-rd is always with me and I am showing the L-rd how serious I am by serving Him and no one else. :)
Thank you so much for touching on this subject- I grew up non practicing but now, since i met my boyfriend ( now fiancé) i have adapted to the orthodox practices( gradually finding my comfort zone)- i actually approached my workplace about my covering my head once married- i got a puzzled look but when i showed the Wrapunzel webpage- i got ooh and aahs- great support form our little community here in Philadelphia area- my fiancé was surprised that i wanted to cover my head all the time and not just when in shul or in the community- he has been so supportive so it is an easy transformation for me- I’m ready to go from pre- tied scarves and slouchy hats- Wrapunzel had given me such wonderful ideas and less worry about my Loupes that i wear at work pulling down my head wrap
I've worn some interesting things on the job, but I'll admit, I had a professional track record by the time I decided to cover my head. Practiced at home before I found a style that was professional. Solid colors and neutrals work best. An underscarf or velvet band helps to keep your scarf in place. Some very nice decorative safety pins help. I will coordinate my underscarf with my general outfit. If I'm wearing dark colors the underscarf will be dark even if my outer scarf is a light pastel. A button down shirt is professional but a little severe. Cure that with a lovely veiled scarf style, long sash or tails! Still professional, and now, more feminine!
I enjoyed this so much. I'm not Jewish, but I am Noahide and have a Rabbi and Rebbitzen, When I first met my Rabbi I was encouraged to dress modestly. I had worn slacks and shirts for years. When I did it to honor my Rabbi I thought, "This is also to honor Hashem and I need to do it all the time." Where I live I only knew one person who covered her hair. It was very scary to decide to dress in skirts, shirts and head coverings. What amazed me was I only got a few questions, but mostly compliments. I have had total strangers come up to me in stores and complement me on my coordinated outfit. Hashem has been so kind to make me feel comfortable and my Rabbi's wife brings me tickels from Israel when they come to visit our community. There are now several women who cover their hair and I'm not just one of two. Discovering Wrapunzel has been such a blessing and I've purchased so many tickles etc. already. I need to stop and concentrate on using the ones I have. But every time you demonstrate a new one. I get excited to try it. My face is round and I haven't figured out how to wrap so that the tickels go all the way around my head. My Rabbi's wife was very excited to see my improvement the last time they were here. She is such a lovely person, but just doesn't have any time to tutor us. We all admire her head coverings so much. Thanks again. Sorry this is so long.
I am concerned that my tichels ends become loose in public and find I tend to knot the ends instead of leaving them under a fold. I would love a solution to this so I can place them in a fold and they will stay. Are long straight pins suitable and do you have a vid on their use? You both look so lovely!
Tova, how wonderful you are!!! I wish I lived up there so that I could get to know you and that we could rock our “creations” together! I need height too because of my round face. I choose my scarves and my earrings to balance out my facial dimensions and then go wild with color, texture and fringe. Oh, how I love fringe. Now that I no longer work at the hospital I don’t have to be professional anymore and can let myself out. 😉 Btw, you are lovely! Seriously!
Wow I love this lady both of you are beautiful and charming. I too have a very round face and thank you for now I have a way another way to cover my hair.
Shalom, Salam, Great tips for rounder faces. Thank you Tova and Andrea. I have a round face andI try to elongate with my wraps, with an oval shape frame and height. I will definitely try out the flat volume concept! You both look beautiful.
hello ladies, thank you so much for doing this video. I have been considering purchasing a tichel due to the fact that I have health issues and one of the symptoms is unfortunately hair loss. However I have an extremely tight budget so I wanted to know what kind of measurements does a regular tichel have? I wanted to either see about purchasing a low cost used scarf to wrap my head or possibly have a woman I know sew a tichel for me from fabric. In the past I have had much difficulty with slippage from head bands or scarves and would like to know an alternative to preventing this besides a costly volumizer?
more volume on the sides. perhaps a veil-style wrap, that hangs down the back of the neck, or tails that you can pull forward and curl around your shoulders nicely
I hear what you're saying about the job interview but it's deceptive. And deception is a lie and a lie is an abomination to God. I go to interviews being who I am. Modest dress, head covering, and let them know I won't work on Saturdays. If they're going to take issue with that, I don't want to work for them anyway.
Now this is where I disagree strongly. I'm a head covering Christian, but I wasn't covering back when I was working. That said, if I WAS coveting back in those days, I would have covered during the interview. I would've worn appropriate clothing for the interview based on the job I was interviewing for, and kept my style simple and modest and professional. I'm, for the most part; a "what you see is what you get" type of person. I am not going to put a wig on or let my hair show and compromise my convictions about covering in public for the sake of landing a job and then suddenly show up on the first day of work with a hijab or tichel on. That is deceitful in my eyes. If the potential employer does not hire you because they see that you are of a certain religion, without giving you a chance to prove that you are worth hiring, then that is the employers problem, NOT yours. And if they don't hire you for this reason, maybe God didn't want you there for some reason to begin with, and He has something else waiting for you. I'll not trying to be mean, but that really rubs me the wrong way. I used to wear a cross necklace, small one. I never covered it up for interviews.

Thank you so much! So many tichel wrap styles just don't look good for those of us with round faces!

+Barbara Shegitz Glad this was helpful for you, Barbara!
+Barbara Shegitz I know how you feel. I am a Ger/Noahide. I am the only person in my town who wears a head covering.
I am
Flat height! That's just what I'm looking for! Thanks, ladies.
Thank you ladies for a very informative video. I too have a very round face so I thank you the chat and the hints.
What a fun interview. Ya'll made me smile this morning with my morning coffee. Such a delight! Shine On ladies~~* Thank you!!!
More Tova please! 🙂
Can you please make a wider no slip head band i don't mind paying a little extra to get the proper head covering without rubbing out my hair
Hi Tova. I do all of the same things that you do.like add "flat height", not on the sides, etc. Oh the joys of a round face. You look stunning.
I am concerned that my tichels ends become loose in public and find I tend to knot the ends instead of leaving them under a fold. I would love a solution to this so I can place them in a fold and they will stay. Are long straight pins suitable and do you have a vid on their use? You both look so lovely!
This was awesome!

Thanks for the kind words for Tova! We'll pass them along to her!
Wow I love this lady both of you are beautiful and charming. I too have a very round face and thank you for now I have a way another way to cover my hair.
Such a great talk/video!
I'm new to all of this so I don't know who Tova is. Does she have her own UA-cam channel or blog?
Shalom, Salam, Great tips for rounder faces. Thank you Tova and Andrea. I have a round face andI try to elongate with my wraps, with an oval shape frame and height. I will definitely try out the flat volume concept! You both look beautiful.

I can't believe she is not wearing a shapper.
What would you recommend for a lady with a very square jaw and face shape.
more volume on the sides. perhaps a veil-style wrap, that hangs down the back of the neck, or tails that you can pull forward and curl around your shoulders nicely

@@sisterspooky Not to mention that once an employer knows you've been deceptive, they're never going to trust you.
