Head Scarf Fun

In the past, women wore scarves all the time, in many different ways. Around their head, around their neck, like a headband, like a hat, in a bow, in a turban. The options were endless. We find head scarves brilliant in hiding hair that needs to be washed. They are a perfect way to add a bit of style to your hair, without having to wash,  blow dry, curl, straighten etc. Leah is our expert at tying scarves and so today we are going to share her tips. We found these scarves at a second hand shop in Combermere Ontario, each one was only fifty cents. Most second hand shops have them, and when they do, snatch them up and give it a go!



How to Wear a Rectangle Scarf:































Step 1: Fold it in half length wise
Step 2: Fold it again length wise if scarf is wide.
Step 3: Wrap it at the nape of your neck, with both ends in each hand.
Step 4: Tie it in a simple knot on the side of your head
Step 5: Tuck ends into the scarf or tie into a pretty bow.


























































Voila~




The Knotted Crown:

































Step 1: Wrap it at the nape of your neck, with both ends in each hand
Step 2: Bring the ends to the top of your head, like you would wear a headband, and tie the scarf into a few knots.
Step 3: Tuck in the ends into the rest of the scarf around your head.

The Bow Band:

































*Similar to the Knotted Crown, but instead of knotting it on top of your head tie the scarf into a bow.
Enjoy! :)

How to Wear a Super Long Scarf:


































Step 1: Wrap it at the nape of your neck, with both ends in each hand
Step 2: Bring the ends to the top of your head, like you would wear a headband, and cross them over, creating a twist. Leah twisted hers twice, but it depends on the length of your scarf
