Head scarves don't have to be worn just on your head

There are many ways of wearing head scarves, and they don't have to be just on your head. Scarves add color and style to any outfit, making even the plainest outfit seem hip and trendy. Scarves come in all sizes, fabrics and colors, so choose the one that is right for you--but remember not to over-accessorize with scarves.

    Headband

  1. Wearing a scarf as a headband is one of the most popular styles. The beauty of wearing a scarf as a headband is the versatility. Choose how thin or wide you want the headband to be and depending on where you fold it, the pattern may vary slightly each time. Simply fold the scarf in halves until you reach the width you want, or roll it into the desired thickness. Place the scarf where you want it in your hairline, wrap it around your head and tie it into a knot or bow at the base of your neck. It may help to put your hair in a ponytail before starting the process so your hair doesn't get tangled in the knot.
  2. Neck

  3. The neck scarf is a classic fashion accessory that adds style and grace to any outfit. Wrap the scarf around your neck twice and tie it so that two longer ends hang down. Make sure it's loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough so it doesn't shift.
  4. Belt

  5. Another creative way of wearing a head scarf is to wear it as a belt. Loop a scarf through belt loops to dress up jeans. Wear a scarf to cinch in a longer or loose-fitting shirt at your natural waist. Tie the scarf to the side or in the back of the outfit in a knot or bow.
  6. Hairline

  7. Wear a head scarf so it is even with your hairline; this sometimes is referred to as a 70s headband. Fold the scarf so it's a few inches wide and align it with your hairline. Wrap it around your head and tie it tightly at the nape of your neck so it doesn't slide. You may want to secure it with a few bobby pins at the back of the scarf.
