5 Ways to Tie Your Yanxa Headwrap

One headwrap. Five different looks. The beauty of a Yanxa headwrap is its versatility — once you know a few key tying techniques, you can match the wrap to your mood, outfit, or occasion. Whether you want clean and minimal or bold and dramatic, there's a way to wrap it that fits.
Here are five styles every Yanxa fam should know.
Style 1: The Classic Crown
The foundational style — comfortable, secure, and works with everything. This is the one you reach for on errand days.
- Place the wrap behind your head with both ends in front, equal length
- Bring the ends up to your forehead and cross them over each other
- Twist them around each other tightly
- Continue twisting and wrap around the crown of your head
- Tuck the ends under the wrap to secure
The Classic Crown works with rhinestone tees, casual outfits, and even formal looks. It's your everyday hero.
Style 2: The Bold Knot (a.k.a. "Duh Yuh Ting")
Front-tied with a statement knot. This is the one for when you want the wrap itself to be the moment.
- Drape the wrap behind your head, both ends in front
- Bring the ends to the center of your forehead
- Tie a single knot — pull tight
- Tie a second knot on top, but leave the ends sticking up like rabbit ears
- Fluff the loops so they sit dramatically on top
Pair this with a fitted top — the bold knot needs space to breathe visually, so don't compete with too many other accessories.
Style 3: The Side Tie
Cool, casual, perfect for beach days or hangouts. Asymmetric energy.
- Place the wrap so one end is significantly longer than the other
- Bring both ends to the side of your head (above one ear)
- Tie a knot, leaving the longer end loose to drape
- Optional: fluff the bow or let the longer end hang as a tail
This works beautifully with hoop earrings on the opposite side — the asymmetry is the whole point.
Style 4: The Wrapped Updo
For when your hair needs to be UP and out of your face but you still want to look intentional.
- Pull your hair into a high bun or puff first
- Place the wrap at the base of your hairline, behind your bun
- Cross the ends in front of your forehead
- Bring them around the bun, wrapping the bun base
- Tie at the back, tuck ends in
Great for hot days, workouts (kind of), or when you want a put-together look without committing to actual styling.
Style 5: The Headband Tie
Minimalist. Lets your hair shine while still adding a pop of color and pattern.
- Fold the wrap in thirds lengthwise (or roll it into a thinner band)
- Place at your hairline, behind your ears
- Tie at the back of your head
- Tuck the ends under the band so they don't show
This works great if you want the colors of the wrap to peek through but you're letting your hairstyle take the lead.
Tips for Every Style
- Iron your wrap first. A wrinkle-free wrap looks ten times better in any style.
- Practice in front of a mirror. First time always feels awkward — by the third try, you've got it.
- Trust the fabric. Yanxa headwraps are made to hold their shape. They want to do the work for you.
- Make it yours. These are starting points, not rules. Add a brooch, twist differently, leave more or less hair out — duh yuh ting.
