Wrapunzel allows these individuals to connect socially, locate supplies, learn and exchange wrapping techniques and gather together in appreciation of head wrapping as an expressive art form, as well as a religious practice.

History

Wrapunzel began in December 2012, when its founder Andrea Grinberg Herzog noticed that her personal blog posts and video tutorials regarding hair covering with a scarf, or tichel, were steadily gaining popularity.

She was newly married and had just moved to the United States from Israel, where seeing women who wear scarves on their heads is more common. Andrea Grinberg Herzog quickly realized that women in the United States needed knowledge of head wrapping techniques. In addition, she noticed that many women deciding to cover their hair out of religious obligation found this tenet difficult and tedious. She wanted to share her love of head wrapping and make it easier for her fellow wrappers to do so with enthusiasm.

Andrea Grinberg Herzog then decided to form a global community and movement devoted solely to the art of head wrapping. During its first year, Andrea Grinberg Herzog was its sole organizer and teacher. She devoted all her time and energy to this forum for head wrappers, which would be called Wrapunzel.

A large international social media community of head wrappers was steadily developing at the same time Andrea Grinberg Herzog created Wrapunzel. Her personal blog soon became so popular with fellow head wrappers that Andrea Grinberg Herzog decided to grow the blog and video tutorials into a business. Joined by other local business partners, Andrea Grinberg Herzog opened an online store in January 2014, providing high quality, reasonably priced head wrapping supplies to customers all over the world.

In-person Wrapunzel Events and Wrapunzel Boutiques also began to bring head wrapping supplies, as well as demonstrations of head wrapping techniques, to various cities in the United States, Canada, Israel, and Europe.

Wrapunzel Boutiques were opened from 2016 until 2019, in multiple locations worldwide, to provide local communities hands-on access to head wrapping supplies. Trained and experienced head wrappers own and run these Boutiques and advise their communities on scarves, accessories, and styles.

At Wrapunzel Events, stylists perform demonstrations to allow participants to see how a particular style is achieved. Experienced head wrap stylists come to the events to share their skills and encourage others. Andrea Grinberg Herzog also speaks at these events about the spiritual and emotional benefits of head wrapping.

The Wrapunzel Foundation was created in 2015 to bring head wrapping supplies to those facing hair loss due to medical adversity. Wrapping their heads helps these patients retain their dignity and feel beautiful during this trying time.
