How to Wear a Headband Scarf

Always wanted to wear scarves but never really figured out a fun and fashionable way to pull it off? Scarves are a great way to add a pop of color to an outfits. With scarves available in a wide variety of fabrics and styles, you can combine a scarf with almost any look for any occasion.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• scarf
• hair-pins

1. Set up your work-space, set out your brush, a rat-tail comb, your pins, and your scarf.

2. Take your scarf and fold it into a width you like. I like to vary my headband width for different looks. When you have your scarf folded in a shape and width you like, pin it in place with your hairpins.

3. Brush or comb your hair. Decide how you want to part your hair (on the side, down the middle, or no part) and do so.

4. Place the scarf at the point on your head that looks good to you. Too far back, and too far forward are harder positions to keep in place, but with enough pins, they aren't impossible to pull-off.

5. Pin the scarf gently in place, being careful not to mess up the part in your hair.

6. Make sure to use the pins you used to mark the width to pin the scarf into your hair, or carefully take them off.

7. Pull the ends of your scarf under your hair and tie them in a bow or a knot as you prefer. A knot stays better, but a bow is easier to take out after a long day out.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't be afraid of patterns, accent colors, textures or bright prints.
• Make sure to secure your scarf with pins and if you use hair products, hair spray.
• Don't be afraid to use the scarf itself to create texture. By twisting it, or folding it in different ways you can create different effects.
• Try not to get your hair tangled in the bow or knot. This can be painful
• Don't use scarves that are expensive or have sentimental value with hair product, as it could stain them.
• Make sure to pin the scarf securely to your hair, you wouldn't want a light breeze to sail your accessory away.
