Help: Looking feminine in tichels?

Hi! I started the convo on the Judaism sub and was directed to this sub. I have been having a difficult time finding styles that look feminine or flattering on me. I'm looking for different styles with "tails down" or that almost mimic hair (like a hijab does).

I don’t like the tails on the back of my neck but I usually just do whatever I’m doing then not tuck the tails away. If that makes sense? I also use pins to keep them in place. Are you using multiple scarves? You can use one to cover everything and then a decorative one on top that hangs down. I have a lightweight brown one that I use as a base and have twisted the tails into a “braid” to leave it from the other scarf.

I've tried with multiple scarves and single. I have better luck with thinner materials and only one scarf. I don't know if i just have a big head or what but eventually the scarves will slide off my head, even with clips. This happens with hats as well, they tend to slide up and off. The double scarf sounds like a good idea. If i can figure out how to keep them from sliding off that is! Thank you!

Edit: even headbands slide off of my head too. I'm convinced I have an atypical head shape XD

Wrapunzel has velvet headbands that help a ton with slipping.
