How to tie Gele
Basic Steps for Wrapping Geles
"Gele" is a Yoruba {Nigeria, West Africa} word for a female headwrap. A "headwrap" is a long piece of cloth that you tie and tuck on your head to create different looks.
------------------------------------------
The head wrap or headgear plays an important part in Africa's fashion styling, specifically in West Africa. There is a saying that "an attire is not complete until it is topped with a headgear". There are different styles of head wrapping. Even an intricate-looking style starts with a basic procedure. We recommend that you consult an expert for help with the more elaborate and intricate styles. Most experts can look at a picture and re-create the style.
