How to look good in a head scarf
We all have bad hair days. You probably haven’t had time to visit the salon or it’s that time of the month when you are broke!
Head gear might be your best bet and a head scarf often does the magic. A head scarf can help you protect your strands from wind or rain on some days, and on other days, you may simply be bored and want to try a different ‘do.
The head scarf isn’t exactly a new trend, but it is a fun way to mix up your cold-weather wardrobe (though we suggest sticking to silk or other thin fabrics rather than wrapping a cozy wool number around your scalp).
The advantage of this specific hair item is its versatility: You can create a variety of looks with only one scarf, ranging from simple to intricately decorated.
Whatever aesthetic you’re looking for, we’ve compiled the greatest tips and tricks for getting the appearance you desire with a head scarf.
The head scarf
- Spread out the fabric and drape it over your head.
- Toss one end over one shoulder.
- Throw the remaining end across the other shoulder
Tucked-in basic loop
- Drape the scarf unevenly around your neck (the short end should hit the chest area).
- Loop the longer end around your neck twice before letting it hang.
- Cross the two ends and tuck them under the loop.
The loop through
- Fold your scarf in half and drape around your neck.
- Feed both ends through the loop and pull through.
The neckerchief
- Halve the scarf twice, so that it’s a rectangle.
- Fold the square diagonally for a triangular shape.
- Take the two ends located on the longest side of the triangle and tie it around your neck.
Knotted basic loop
- Drape the scarf unevenly around your neck (the short end should hit the chest area).
- Loop the longer end around your neck twice before letting it hang.
- Jauntily tie the two ends off to the side.
The faux infinity
- Knot the two opposite corners of the scarf together to create a circle.
- Swing it over your head (with the knot at the back) twice.
