I don’t ever have that problem, but I don’t tie it that far back on my head–it’s still pretty far forward.

Both are cute! How do you keep it from slipping off? having the “knot” look at the top like you see here. (Use your best judgement here.) It’s TOTALLY fine if it’s longer than that–the ends will just hang down in the back, which I think is so cute too! If you have a larger head, you may want to try a 35″ scarf, like this one!Īdditionally, if you have one that is smaller than that, and can only wrap around your head once, that’s okay too! It will just look more like a wider headband tied at the base of your neck vs. I’d say anywhere from 27″+ is good depending on the size of your head. Here’s the answer: You want something big enough to wrap around your head twice–the scarf I’m using here (very old, but this one comes in so many cute patterns and is the same size!) is about 27″ and it’s BARELY long enough.

You don’t need to style your hair (or wash it, for that matter!) when you know how to tie a hair scarf properly. In fact, the hair scarf is probably my #1 traveling hair hack.

When I went to Italy a few summers ago, it was SO HOT and sticky that I needed a way to keep my hair off my face but also look cute and stylish at the same time–and–voila! I watched a quick Youtube video and my love for the hair scarf was born. (Related: How to tie a French Style Scarf, and How to Tie a Bandana). It’s no secret that I am a HUGE fan of silk scarves–I wear them around my neck all the time and I think they add so much personality to any outfit. I thought it was about time to refresh this post that was originally published a few years back. I hope you’re having a good week so far–I got home from Oregon on Friday just in time for a GLORIOUS 80 degree Saturday here in Chicago! As the weather warms up, one of my favorite accessories to wear is a hair scarf, and I am always asked how I tie them. Happy Monday! (One more day closer to summer!
