How to Choose Your First Headwrap: A Style Guide for Beginners

So you’re ready to wear your first headwrap—welcome! Whether you’re new to African prints or just new to wrapping, know this: there’s something for everyone, and yes—you will look amazing.

At our brand, we believe headwraps aren’t just an accessory. They’re a statement. A celebration. A crown. And we want you to feel confident and empowered as you choose the perfect one for your style and spirit.

Here’s our simple, soulful guide for picking your first headwrap:

1. Start With the Colors You Love

If you’re just getting started, a great way to choose is by sticking with what you already love. Think about the color palettes in your wardrobe—do you wear a lot of neutrals? Earth tones? Brights? Jewel tones?

Choose a wrap that complements your everyday favorites. That way, it’s easy to pair with your current clothes, whether you're throwing it on with jeans or dressing up for an event.

And don’t worry—African prints come in every hue imaginable. From subtle to bold, we’ve got something for your vibe.

2. Go With Your Favorite Color

This one’s easy—what color makes you feel good every time you wear it? Whether it’s a warm mustard, a fiery red, or a calming teal, find a headwrap that includes that color or makes it pop. Your favorite color will always feel like you, and that makes it the perfect starting point.

3. Let the Name Speak to You

Each piece in our collection is named after an African name with a powerful meaning. Maybe you’re drawn to a wrap called Lielit (princess), Johari (gem), or Nubia (gold). Read the stories behind the names and see which ones resonate with your heart.

Wearing a name that speaks to you adds a layer of connection—it’s not just about style, it’s about soul.

4. Match the Mood or Occasion

Are you wrapping for a casual brunch? A photoshoot? A cultural event? Your vibe can help you choose the perfect print. Go for something vibrant and bold if you're feeling playful or festive. Choose a more muted or elegant pattern if you're going for a soft, regal look.

And if you’re heading to something cultural or spiritual, you might want a print that connects you to your heritage or honors the moment.

5. Pick Based on Personality

Are you outgoing and adventurous? Try something with a dynamic print and bold contrast. More introverted or reserved? Maybe go for something softer with flowing lines or smaller patterns.

Your wrap should feel like an extension of you—your personality, your essence. When you find the one that feels right, trust it.

6. Try a Starter Wrap 

Still not sure where to begin? Check out our bestsellers or curated starter sets. These are fan favorites for a reason—they work beautifully for all styles, skin tones, and skill levels. Some even come with tutorials or style tips to get you going with confidence.

Final Thoughts: There’s no wrong way to wear a headwrap—only your way. Whether you’re wrapping your hair for protection, fashion, or cultural expression, the most important thing is that it feels like you.

So go ahead, explore the collection. Fall in love with the colors, the stories, and the names. Wrap yourself in culture, confidence, and love.

Your crown is waiting.
