How to Wear a Yarmulke

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Friday, May/10/2024

1). Begin by placing the head covering toward the back of the head.
2). Smooth the yarmulke down to the head or scalp. It should be flexible enough to fit many head shapes well.
3). Using your bobby pins, start pinning on the right side of the head by gathering a small amount of hair and sliding the bobby pin into the hair and the yarmulke at the same time.
4). Place pins so that there is one on each side and one in the back. A pin in front is typically not necessary unless there's a lot of thick hair. Use as many pins as it takes to hold the yarmulke on.
5). Test the placement of your yarmulke by bending your head from side to side and front to back to see if it slides off or moves.
