It took me 40 minutes to tie! It's just like tying a shoelace, but harder because it's not a string. Also if you have it in a mirror you will get very confused. Just get it close, then stop looking at the mirror and tie your laces on your neck. then straighten it out in the mirror. Also bonus tip, don't initially set it to your neck size, just set it to the largest size until you get the feel for tying it.
