4. African Gele
The “gele” is a part of African culture specifically worn by Nigerians using a piece of cloth called an “aso-oke.” To start a gele, you’ll want to fold your aso-oke or everyday scarf so that the width is about six inches. You’ll then wrap it around your head so that right side is about one and half times longer than the left. Push the left side of your scarf in while crossing the right side over, but keep both ends out. Pull the ends so that the wrap is as tight as you feel comfortable with. Push the right side in from where it touches the left side without pulling it all the way through so that if forms a bow. This bow can be moved to the side, front or back.
