Were you battling for hours with your headgear today again…and was almost late for that well planned aso-ebi event? Awww! You don’t need to go through that anymore, here are tips on how to tie ‘the gele’ that will make everyone turn,look and complement. LOL

Step 1 – Take hold of your material at each end. If you material is very long you can fold it over…

Step 2 – Next you will need to tie your hair if you have long hair or made a long weave-on. Although you should probably tie it all back before getting hold of your material o!

Step 3 – Place your material at the very lower back of you neck. While still holding each end of the material.

Step 4 – While still holding the material, pull the left end of the material forward to the front of your head and place over to the right side of your head, now do the same for the right hand side of the material,placing it over to the left of your head.

Step 5 – Keep hold of both ends of the material and pull both ends to the back of your head. Take both ends (tips) and tie them tightly together,you can always double knot it, so it wont slip off.

Step 6 – This step can be rather annoying and provoking for beginners. Laughing! But don’t worry, you will soon become an expert after your first few times! Now that you have your gele tied and properly fit on your head, you now have to “shape it”. This can be done in different ways depending on the style you like.
You will have to fold it well at the front and make it balance well (big or small). Me like my gele to be big and skentele o!. *Sigh* now you don’t have to be late for next saturday’s occasion abi? Thank me later,LOL.
