# A tallit katan (tzitzit) should be put on like a tallit gadol by wrapping it around one's head and reciting "Lhitatef Btzitzit". The minhag, however, is not to do so but rather simply to put on the tallit katan and recite "Al Mitzvat Tzitzit".<ref>Piskei Teshuvot 8:11 based on Shulchan Aruch 8:3</ref> See [[#Text of Bracha]] for more about the bracha.

#The minhag for Sephardim is to start wearing a Tallit Gadol from the age of [[chinuch]] in mitzvot. <ref>Kaf Hachayim 8:12, Yechave Daat 4:36. Halacha Brurah 17:3 says that this age begins once the child can participate in the [[prayers]] in the shul. </ref> The minhag for most Ashkenazim is not to wear one until one gets married. <ref>Keztot Hashulchan 7:7, Eliya Rabba 17:3, Tashbetz Katan 462 based on a Maharil in Hilchot Nisuin. </ref> However in Western-European communities the minhag is to wear it after the child's bar mitzvah. <ref>The Piskei Teshuvot 8:10 writes that the minhag of not wearing a Tallit before [[marriage]] spread in Eastern Europe including Lithuania and Poland, however, in Western Europe, specifically Hungry, the minhag was not widely accepted. See Mishna Brurah 17:10 who questions the Maharil simply because he does not understand why someone who is not yet married should not fulfill the mitzvah of Tzitzit.</ref>
##A Sephardic boy studying in an Ashkenazi yeshiva should continue his minhag of wearing a Tallit Gadol. <ref>Yechave Daat 4:36 </ref>
#One should unfold the Tallit before making the bracha so that there will not be any interruption between the bracha and wrapping onself in the garment. <ref>Kaf Hachayim 206:4 </ref> If one made an interruption before placing the Tallit on one's head, one should recite a new bracha, but if the interruption occured only after placing it on one's head one does not recite a new bracha. <ref>Kaf Hachayim 8:39. He adds that if one hears [[kaddish]], [[kedusha]], or anything else that one would be required to answer to, one is permitted to do so. </ref>
