94/100: "I am originally from Northern part of India called Punjab. My turban, or dastaar as we call it in Punjabi is a part of who I am. It is my identity. Sikhs wear a turban in order to stand out from the crowd. My crown is to highlight the gender equality, no sexism in Sikhism ☺️." @turbanchiq • I've always loved how your turban always looks like a natural part of you. Thank you for helping me along! #100daysofcrowning#turban#gender#sikh#equality#dastaar#india#punjabi#stories#personalnarratives#crownstories#headwrap#colour#vibrant

93/100: " Why do I wrap? I grew up seeing women around me "doeking". My mom, grand and aunts. This was either as a form of adornment or to show respect at a wedding or funeral. What I remember most, is my mom´s wrapping. She had a nonchalant way of wrapping, Where you collect both ends of idoek behind your ear. This gave her a very graceful stature. It also made idoek part of her unlike as a costume you put on. When I see Zadie Smith, that is how my mom´s wrapping was. I do not doek as much in winter. But in summer I do, for many reasons: when I want to channel my mom, as a fashion statement, and sometimes to protect my hair. My daughter loves to mimic me as well. So I guess I indirectly I am passing the doeking on. My doeking." @_mybeautiful_people • WOW, thank you Zozo!! #doek#100daysofcrowning#heritage#crownstories#ourstories#personalnarratives#women#family#womenofmyfamily#protective#style#adornment#culture#dhuku#duku#turban#crown

Day 90: #Repost @sherryandherberry with @repostapp ・・・ Reasons I wrap up. 1. It's the best protective style my hair can handle. 2. Hats make me look like a boy. 3. Fuck boy repellent. 4. I wrap up for security, just knowing I've crowned myself gives me enough confidence to feel safe anywhere I go! 💕😁😁• @sherryandherberry you made me laugh so hard at no.2😂😂. Thank you so much for helping me to see these 100days through. I couldn't donut without the help. #takesavillage#100daysofcrowning#crown#headwrap#women#confidence#beauty#wrap#tirivamwe#crownstories#tiri

Day 89: "In my culture, wrapping your head was a sign of a married woman, someone who reserved her crown for her prince, so automatically it was for older people in me eyes. As much as I respect that now, I feel like wrapping now for me has so much versatility, its an easy way to cover a bad hair day, it solidifies my identity as a regal being, it jazzes up my outfit in a unique way and its a fun way to express creativity with my head scarves." @imanafrikan • Thank you for being a part of the village! #100daysofcrowning#takesavillage#headwrap#turban#symbols#respect#culture#heritage#creative#crown#crownstories#tirivamwe

Day 88: "I wear head wraps to add a little colour and character perhap to a drab look, and to hide a bad hair day😀😀." @iamdanayi •Nothing drab about that outfit! ❤️#100daysofcrowning#crown#crownstories#iamdanayi#fashionista#hairstories#colour#create#identity#headwrap#turban

Day 87: #Repost @tanyaweekes with @repostapp ・・・ > Q U E E N D O M Wearing my crown on Anguila Beach in The Philippines, forever inspired by @tirivamwe0 and @anaisarts. For me, headwraps, at times have become a safety net, a comfort blanket, something you can always count on and come back to that make you look instantly sophisticated and cultured and of course regal. I love head wraps.. •Graceful as always, @tanyaweekes . Thank you so much for this ❤️. #100daysofcrowning #ittakesavillage #tanyaweekes #tweekestravels#travel#headwrap#philippines#comfort#culture#regal#fashion
