Nigerian Bridal Style Gele

Who would have thought that tying gele would be so easy! I grew up watching my mum struggling almost every Sunday with this piece of clothing right before it was time to go to church :). 
I couldn't quite tell what material it was made of. It just made so much noise when tying, but always came out beautiful and seemed to stay put [most times]. Happens to be that all those Sundays and party days, I didn't know I was soaking in her gele tying skills, hehe :-P

The bridal style gele, I love the look, and have created a tutorial on how I tie it. There are probably a few other methods of tying it but here's a simple one:

Hope you like, and found it helpful.
