KEFALOGIOURI

It is the way of tying a headscarf that we usually find as an inner headband (under the outer headscarves). It was the basis of many headbands and worked mainly to hold and style the hair. At the same time, it gave the feeling of thick and rich hair when used internally in bridal / formal headbands.

Hair was considered not only a source of strength and life, but also the “seat of the soul”. It is associated with the idea of renewal and good luck.


 

This way of tying is usually found in several Greek women’s headbands in Peloponnese, but also in other parts of Greece.The name of the headband comes from the description of its application (kefalo=head & giouri=turn). In addition, “Kefalogiouri” was the name of the old headband of the women of Laconic Mani.

HOW TO BIND

Fold the headscarf in a triangle. Place the tip of the headscarf in the center of the forehead and the long side respectively on the neck. Rotate the two ends around their axis so that they become like “strings”. Apply the ends of the headscarf, as “strings” around the face with direction from back to front, cross at the top of the head and stabilize with a double knot on the base of your neck.
