Place the scarf across the clients forehead
A gele (gay-lay) is a head wrap worn by women of western Nigeria as part of their traditional Buba attire. There are lots of ways to tie a gele, but the most common way involves pleating. While it is easier to tie a gele on someone else, it is possible to tie it yourself.
Make sure that the scarf is off-centered, with the right side being longer than the left. The long, folded edge should be against her forehead.
