Once used only as a functional garment to protect the nose and mouth from dust and as a way to cool the body on a hot day, the bandana has evolved and become a very common and stylish head covering. There are three basic styles for bandanas: bandana hats, skull caps and hair accessories. While bandanas are still used for their functionality, they have become as fashionably acceptable as caps and hair clips. Tying a bandana hat is a three step process.

  • Bandanas can be purchased in discount stores or you can order different types and styles from specialty stores.
  • Avoid tying loose hairs in the knot.
