For a long time, I couldn't figure out how to clean out my native head-ties(gele) after an occasion: they are usually stained by make-up after a special event because they sit on your face for hours.
Anyway, I started looking and asking around form family and friends who had been in the "gele-tying" business since forever(I just started wearing it last year!)
I finally found some valuable tips and have decided to share my little knowledge.
It might not be the only way to do this but I am sure it will help someone who is like me(not into this gele thing :))
Instructions
This section will be focusing on how to clean out the make-up and sweat stains that are usually left on your elaborate head gear after a night of partying :)
For spot cleaning on smudges or stains that are not too much, wipe off with a mild soap and a wet sponge.
For detailed cleaning or full wash, hand washing is highly recommended again. Soak and wash in warm soapy water.
Hang to dry; best way would be with clippy hangers so it can be hung straight. Try to straigthen wrinkles and creases while it's still wet.
Ironing is generally not recommended for these but using your judgment since there are some plain head-ties that could be ironed on the inside.
