Special Instructions

Your Juju hat will come to you collapsed into a tight drum shape. Do not cut the string wrapping the hat!  Open your Juju by pushing the tab on the end toward the center of the headdress. The feathers will open and unfold like a flower. You can adjust the position of the feathers by gently hand combing them to an even shape, or by carefully moving the outer fabric wrapped raffia until it sits evenly. Additionally, you can blow dry the feathers on a cool setting to fluff them up.
