Not all headwraps were created equal. These expandable headbands were hand woven using a traditional open-net weaving technique. They're designed specifically to solve all the most common hair scarf issues people have. Take a closer look to appreciate the light and breathable gauze-like texture. Gaps between the threads allow air to ventilate through. Headwrappers are delighted to finally discover comfortable head scarves that are never hot, heavy, bulky, itchy or slippery. The gauze-like texture snuggly grips to even silky soft hair without moving. No need for tight knots that squeeze your brains out. No need for hair pins to keep them from slipping and sliding all over your head. They are easy to tie loosely and tuck securely to stay in place all day and night, even when sleeping. What a relief! Handwoven fabric is also first choice for excercise and fun in the sun because absorbable cotton soaks up sweat.

The item you receive will be very close in color and pattern to the examples pictured. It was individually and uniquely hand crafted without exact replication. The slight artistic variation makes your purchase more special.
