A doek is a traditional and stylish head wrap that can be worn in many creative ways. When paired with braids, it creates a fashionable and cultural statement that is both protective and elegant. With the right wrapping style, a doek can highlight your braids while adding beauty and confidence to your look. Here is how to wear a doek with braids.
- Full Head Wrap
Tuck all your braids inside the doek for a neat and protective style. Fold the doek into a triangle, place it over your head, and tie the ends securely at the back. This style is perfect for keeping hair protected while still looking chic.
- High Bun Wrap
If you have braids in a bun, wrap the doek around the base of the bun and tie it at the front or side. This creates a bold and elegant look, making the bun stand out.
- Turban Style
Wrap the doek around your head starting from the back, twist the ends, and tuck them in neatly at the crown. Allow the braids to be fully covered or leave some peeking through for a modern touch.
- Half Wrap with Braids Showing
Fold the doek into a wide band and tie it around the front of your head while leaving your braids hanging freely at the back. This style frames the face while showing off your braids beautifully.
- Front Knot Style
Place the doek over your head and tie the ends at the front into a stylish knot. You can either let the knot sit at the center or off to the side. This adds volume and makes a fashionable statement.
- Scarf Band Style
Fold the doek into a slim band and tie it across your forehead like a headband. This simple style holds braids in place and gives a relaxed, casual look.
