Wrap Your Beauty Around Your Head

 

“Regal.  Majestic.  Afrocentric.  There is nothing more beautiful than a woman in traditional headdress.”

Kreativesouls by Pilar provides African/West Indian headwrapping and cultural dress workshops that help African-American  sisters connect with the culture and style of Africa.  The history of traditional African headdress stretches back to the beginning of time, and represents beauty and royalty across cultures.   African –American women throughout this country are proudly wearing the gele (headwrap), not only as the ravishing final touch to traditional dress, but also to enhance and add African flare to everyday work and recreation attire.

Countless African-American women have been “tricked” into believing that the African or ethnic “look” is not for them.   “Wrap Your Beauty Around Your HeadTM” fun-filled workshops help to eradicate these false ideologies, helping beautiful sisters become more comfortable with the queen within.  We not only provide detailed, one-on-one instruction for various headwrapping techniques, but participants will also learn:

  •         How this form of African-centered expression boosts confidence & self-esteem

  •          Why headwrapping is the perfect companion for relaxed hair in addition to making the transition from relaxed hair to natural hair

  •         How much fabric is needed for each style and which kinds of fabric work best for optimal appearance.

  •         Hair secrets that have helped more and more sisters embrace their natural beauty

  •         How headwrapping connects us to our African heritage

  •         How to “wrap your beauty” around your waist.  Learn to accentuate your gele with a lapa to match.

 

 

 

Wrap Your Beauty Around Your HeadTM  workshops add that unique twist to any event, and we accommodate all age ranges.  We guarantee our workshops to be fun, energizing, and educational for everyone.  Participants bring smiles, and we bring the rest!  Each participant receives a complimentary headwrap and an informational sheet that highlights the key pointers in headwrapping for easy reference at home.   

Stop wishing you had something beautiful to top off that favorite outfit.  Let KreativeSouls by Pilar show you how easy it is to transform a simple piece of fabric into a head-turning headpiece.  Hold your head high as you adorn the grace and poise of our African predecessors.

Let’s fellowship and have some fun with fabric!
