The pros and cons of a pre-tied bandana head scarf
You may have seen them around town and not even realized it. They look like a typical cloth head cover, but the difference is for the wearer. It is a pre-tied handkerchief. A comfortable way to cover your hair.
A pre-tied scarf is a women’s head cover that is comfortable to wear and easy to wear. It is basically a piece of fabric that is sewn into a head cover with elastic at the neck for an easy fit. The two ends of the cloth, known as “tails”, hang on either side of the head.
The advantage of this type of hair cover is that it does not need to be tied, which is the number one complaint about headscarves and other women’s head coverings. It is already “tied”. Pre-tied handkerchiefs, also known as pre-tied handkerchiefs, kosher handkerchiefs or stretch tichels come in a wide variety of colors, fabrics, with any type of decoration you can imagine. Also, the two dangling tails can be left hanging as is, tucked inside the head cover, or tied in many ways, lending itself to versatility.
Funky patterned pre-ties can be worn for casual occasions, or a classy one can be the perfect accessory for even the most fashionable occasions.
These covers are ideal for women looking to cover their hair in a way that offers full coverage, as they are sewn in a way that does not show the hair, unlike a normal tied scarf or scarf.
On the other hand, a problem that women have with them is that they tend to slide. This is easily corrected by finding the fit and fabric that best suit your hair texture. Often times, one that is too tight or too loose will slip. Lycra fabrics also tend to slip more. Other solutions are to use the 2 tails that hang from each head cover to securely tie it to your head or make use of bobby pins, snaps or a non-slip headband like Milano WiGrip to secure the pre-tied scarf to your head.
Pre-tied scarves are manufactured by a wide variety of companies, each with its own fit and shape. It may take a few tries to find the company or companies that best suit your needs. Someone new to pre-tied scarves may want to try a few different brands to find the one that works best for them.
