How I Style- Hair Scarf's

Hello, hello, hello.

 So its been a couple of weeks since I last uploaded, apologises for that, but it has been a very exciting couple of weeks for me as I was rehearsing then performing in The Ladykillers with the Amateur Dramatic's Group I'm apart of. We had our final two shows yesterday, and although I'll be happy to finally sleep, I will also miss it sooo much, as show week is so exciting and fun, even if it completely tires you out. 

But to get back into the swing of things here is a quick post showing you some of the ways I like to style scarf's in my hair. 

Scarf's have been my saviour this week, they really have, because where I played an elderly lady in the show we had to grey the roots of my hair up in order to age me a little bit. So this looked great on stage, going home and in-between shows, not so much. So in order to hide my grey roots till I got home I found myself wearing a variety of scarf's in my hair throughout the week.  

I just genuinely love wearing scarf's in my hair though, I think they can really add something to an outfit, and over the last three years I have really built up a collection- 

I have a serious scarf buying addiction. 

All the scarf's I own are all either from Charity Shops, Vintage shops or ones I have inherited from my Nan's. I think its nice to have a variety of colours and patterns, because depending on what outfit your wearing, or the season, you can always find one to match. 

Style 1- Classic Bow

This is the style that I wear most of all, its so simple yet it can transform your hair. All you do is fold the scarf so its in a thin rectangle, then position it at the back of your neck, make sure all your hair is over it then bring it up on top of your head and tie it in a bow. You can adjust the size of the bow depending how big you want it. This also works nicely when you're hair is in a bun or pony tail. 

Style 2- Through the loop

This look almost has a slight turban look to it, only because of how the font looks, and all you do is fold your scarf in half so you have one end with the two ends of the scarf, and one with a loop. Then you wrap it round under you hair, position it so that the loop is in the centre of your forehead then thread the two end of the scarf through the loop, and tuck them either side of the loop. 

(Apologies for my terrible instructions, as they probably make so sense!). 

Style 3- Pretty Pony

Just a little something to jazz up a plain pony tail. All you do is style you're hair into a pony tail, you can make it as messy or as neat as you like, then simply wrap the folded scarf around the pony tail and tie into a bow. 

Style 4- Vintage Plaits 

  I think that messy plaits can look really cute, but just to add a pop of colour I like to wear a scarf. I think that this look has quite a Vintage vibe to it, as it reminds me of how the women wore their hair back in WW2. I think that's because the bow is in the middle, as opposed to the side of the head. You would do exactly the same as you did for style 1, but rather than leave the bow at the side you would keep it in the centre of your head. 

Style 5- Boho Chic

Once again a very quick and easy style, that you could wear with your hair up or down. All you do is twist the scarf as tight as it will go, then wrap it around your head, over your hair and tie into a bow. 

I hope that you found this post useful, and its given you some ideas on ways to wears your scarf's. If you have any other ideas be sure to let me know down in the comments! 

Cheerio!
