How to Wear Bandanas in Your Hair
Bandanas can be a convenient way to cover up a bad hair day and an easy way to add a stylish flair to your head or even look like your favorite "gansta" rapper, depending upon how you fold the fabric. Bandanas are inexpensive, come in many patterns and colors, and are easy to wash and wear. Keep a dozen or so on hand to have a different look every day of the week. Does this Spark an idea?
