** What is an Ateba or hair wrap or Indian braid?
An ateba is normally a permanent hair wrap made on the actual hair. But here is a really good alternative to permanent Ateba. The difference is: you can choose to wear it or not. Weather it is for an occasion, for summer, festivals or vacation, you can decide to keep it on for a day or even for several months. You can wash your hair with it, swim with it, run, dance, surf... It will stick with you as long as you want it to.

** How to install it?
It is really simple to attach. (see on the photo above). You basically have to braid it with your hair. I suggest that the braid makes minimum 1 1/2 inch long. The braid should be tight so the Ateba stay as close to your head as possible. Using a small rubber elastic to attach the braid ( smaller than on the photo) will be more resistant through time. If you have shorter hair, you can fix the ateba higher on your head. If you have longer hair, fix the ateba on the area closer to your neck. For better result, I would suggest to fix it to an area where is not visible ( not directly on the top of the head or around the face by example.)

** How to take care of it?
If you keep it on "permanently", it is normal for it to worn off. But to keep it's life longer, just be gentle with it. If the charm get caught somewhere by example, just remove it carefully instead of pulling on it and It should keep it really nice for a long time. It should last you at least a year if you never take it off, and even longer if you take good care of it.

** Is it possible to have one made custom and choosing the colour and charms?
OF COURSE :) ! I am waiting for your private message.

All of birdsshoes macrame creations are handmade by me, Emilie (me), in a beautiful little town in Quebec, Canada. It is precious for me to create items that will stick with you through time. They are made with Linhasita, a waxed polyester buying cord that is sun, water and time resistant. I love to create the kind of jewellery that is always on you and that is making memories with you.
