This is how to style a silk scarf in hair for a retro vibe
Oversized bows, head-wraps for a rainy day or stylish turbans to tame your hairdo while looking fabulous? Everything is possible with the right head bandana by Bet and Malfie.
This is how to create the perfect silk head wrap that will take care of your hair: simply fold the scarf several times to create a ribbon, place it under your ponytail and bring both ends forward over the top of your head. There, cross the two ends and bring them back down at opposite ends to tie the knot under your neck.
This double roll will secure the wrap and make the hairdo last longer, taming all loose baby hair in the process.
How to wear a long scarf as a top

No excuses, no I-have-nothing-to-wear, no piles of tops and blouses on your bedrooms floor – time to embrace the DIY life! A simple summer look yet a classy choice, the silk scarf around the bust paired with hoop earrings and high-waisted jeans is perfect for a walk or date.
Don’t get us wrong, it sure takes a considerable amount of styling know-how (and confidence!) to pull off a long scarf as a top, but we do have faith and so should you!
