Tails Tied up
This particular picture shows long tails tied up to resemble a medium tail length.
If you are wearing a medium length pre-tie to start with and you tie it, it will result in a short tailed look. Many women like to tie the tails of the pre-tied for the feeling of security the tighter tie provides. |

How do I figure out the right size for me?
Most companies make Pre-tied Bandanas with a one size fits all cap. The general rule is that each company has their own unique fit. Here is a general guide towards the companies we carry.
1) DaCee Designs - DaCee is quickly emerging as one of the most popular higher end manufacturers of Pre-tied Bandanas. Women like their cap size because it generally fits securely on the head, women with smaller heads especially like the DaCee fit.
2) Uptown Girls Snoods - Uptown is one of the oldest manufacturers of Women's Headwear, and their cap size is of the medium variety. It is a comfortable fit for women with average heads and has enough fabric to allow for your hair. Their tails are long and also tend to be wider than the DaCee Designs.
3) It's Younique - The It's Younique pretied goes very well on women with small to average sized heads.
4) Daffodil - the Daffodil pre-tied bandanas tend to have a roomier cut and while it goes well on women with average sized heads it also can fit women with a larger head.
5) LadyBug - LadyBug is an Israeli Pre-tied Head Scarf and we bring them in for the variety as they tend to have a different look then their American counterparts, as well as for the coolness of their fabrics which are meant to be worn comfortably in the heat of the Israeli summer. Their fit of their Pre-tied Bandana's are not as uniform as some of their American counterparts, however they tend to be a more secure then UpTown or Daffodil but roomier then the DaCee that also can go very well on women with smaller heads. An added reason why many women like LadyBug Headscarves is because they have fabric covering up the elastic in the back so one does not feel the elastic on their neck.
6) Cherie - Cherie, like Uptown is made of a roomier fit and allows for the hair in pack to be comfortably tucked up. It fits a little looser around the head than others which many women find extremely comfortable. Cherie Pre-tieds come in 2 different tail lenghts, short and long.

How should I wash my Pre-tied Bandana head scarf?
The general rule of thumb is - the more gentle you are, the longer the pre-tied will last.
We recommend hand washing in cold water and laying it flat to dry on a towel to prevent stretching.
Please note that Pre-tied Israeli Tichels (also known as Pre-tied Mitpachot or Pre Tied Head Scarves) with lurex should be treated the same as regular Israeli Tichels. They should be hand washed and layed flat to dry. Doing so will lengthen th lifespan of the Israeli Tichel Pre-tied. Never Put a Pre-tied Israeli Tichel in the Washing Machine!
