Ways to Style Your Hair with a Scarf
Fed up of the usual hair accessories? Welcome a brand new one into the fold. Learn how to style your hair with a scarf in nine different ways with this Buzzle article.
- Pick a scarf that is slightly broad. Ensure that the length of the scarf is enough to wrap around your head.
- Fold the scarf in such a manner that you create visible pleats. This is important to give your headband a slightly more grown-up look.
- Now tie the scarf around your head, tying a double knot at the nape. Adjust the pleats once you tie the scarf.
- Keep the scarf in place by securing it with bobby pins.
- As with the style earlier, it is important that you pick a broad scarf that can be easily folded diagonally.
- Next, wrap the scarf around your head in such a manner that all three points of the triangle meet at the back of the head.
- Tie the three edges together in a tight double knot. Tuck in the knot under the scarf.
- An alternative to this style is to tie the three edges at the side, right above one of your ears.
- For this style, you will need a long horizontal scarf which will cover your head completely.
- Place the scarf around your head like you would a hood. Ensure that your hair is completely covered in this step.
- Bring the bottom to one side and twist it. This makes it easier to knot the scarf properly.
- You can choose to secure the scarf with an invisible rubber band and some bobby pins.
- Once again for this technique, you need a long and rectangular scarf.
- Place the scarf on your head in such a manner that the edges can be held together over one ear.
- Now twist the edges gently for about 1/4th the length of the scarf, and then start coiling it to create a bun.
- Twist and coil the scarf completely into a bun and tuck in the ends.
- Start of with a square scarf that will allow you to have neat edges.
- Fold the scarf diagonally to form a triangle, and then drape it over your head with the triangle's point right over your forehead.
- Pull the edges behind your ears and to the top, and knot them over the point hanging over your forehead.
- Tuck the end that is hanging over your forehead under the scarf for a clean, neat look.
- Use a small, square scarf so that the headband is not unnecessarily thick. Fold it into a triangle.
- Hold it centered at your nape, bring it over each side, and hold the edges at the top of the head.
- Knot the edges with a double knot to secure the headband.
- Instead of having a triangle at your nape, you can also choose to fold the scarf completely to start with a rectangular piece of cloth.
- Use a thin, long scarf that will allow you to drape it around your head multiple times for a thick headband look.
- Place the middle of the scarf at your nape and pull the edges to the front. Cross them over, take them to the nape, and then again pull them to the top of the head.
- Twist both the ends together to create a spiral and then tuck the edges under the spiral. Allow them to stick out slightly for the illusion of petals.
- Again use a thin, long scarf, but this time it is to allow for a delicate look.
- If you know how to make a braid, this should be simple. Divide your hair into three equal sections. Now take the section on the edge over the middle section and under the edge section on the opposite side. Now, repeat the same with the opposite side.
- After you have achieved a small plait, start braiding your scarf in by folding it and making it a part of two of the three sections. Once the desired length is achieved, tie the braid with the scarf.
- Pick a large square scarf to make the turban with. Fold the same diagonally, and hold it centered at your nape, with the middle edge over your forehead.
- Wrap the ends of the forehead across your forehead, knot it, and then twist it.
- Wrap the ends around the back of your head and knot it at the nape. Tuck the ends in.
- Tuck the remaining bit that lies over your forehead over the twist. Fix a brooch there.
