How to tie a Vintage Doek in 7 Steps

This doek style is actually done with two scarves and I find it really interesting.

This Doek style is great for ceremonies like Lobola, umembeso or traditional weddings. This style will sit very well with almost any fabric; it can simply be a shweshwe doek, Emahiya Doek, Ankara or Chitenge head tie. It also works well with the conventional silk scarf. 

STEP 1 Fold your scarf to make a thin rectangle.

STEP 2 Bend forward and place the scarf along the nape of your head.

STEP 3 Gather the edges with both hands and bring them to the front, guiding them along the sides of your head and tie the edges together.

STEP 4 Get another scarf of a different colour.

STEP 5 Loop the new scarf with the knot of the other scarf.

STEP 6 Braid the ends of the two scarves together, forming a nice big braid of two colours.

STEP 7 Take the end of the braid backwards and tuck it into the space made by the scarf on top of your head. 

Now you’re ready for that special occasion.
