vsa3janes Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I am trying to find some headscarves. My Grandma and Aunt used to wear them all the time in the 60-70s. They are made out of nylon, a large square, and had designs, flowers or small prints on them. Women would wrap them around their hair and tye them in a knot under their chin. They were to keep the wind from blowing their do around. My cousin's elderly mom is in a nursing home and requested some. I have searched but haven't been able to locate any. Does anyone know where to find them? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freesia39 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ugh, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about - there was this older lady that sat out in front of my old apartment and wore one of these every day, I just can't think of the correct google term. They're square, almost silky sometimes, a pattern, you fold it in half, the large part of the fold is in the front of your head, the point goes toward the back.
