Tips

Small details make the finish better.

  • Cotton blends are comfortable for skincare, spa, or makeup routines.
  • Back-loop-only stitches create stretch without complicated shaping.
  • Make the strip slightly shorter than the head circumference so it hugs gently.
  • Hide the seam at the back or under the hairline for a cleaner look.
