Ten Ways to Tie a Woman’s Head Scarf

Learn how to tie a head scarf in different ways so you’re always in style. Use one scarf or different scarves for a nearly endless supply of styles. Never let a bad hair day show again. Best of all for women, no one asks you to take the scarf off inside, so if your new do is a nightmare, you can grow it out and be a fashionista at the same time.

For long hair, tie a tichel bun (pronounced tickle) head scarf. Fold the scarf diagonally, and place the long side on the head with the three points at the back. Tie the two outside ends together, and tighten lightly under the middle point. Tuck the middle point under the tied section, encasing the hair. Bring the two outside ends to the top over the tucked under portion, and tie again. Tuck the ends underneath.

Go nostalgic with the classic ’50’s and 60’s tie. Fold a head scarf diagonally, and tie it under your chin with the middle triangle point at the back. Go a little 60’s naughty and tie it under the back of the hair.

Protect your hair while spring cleaning with a head scarf tie that’s been around forever . Fold the scarf diagonally, and place the long side under your hair, bringing the two outside triangles to rest on your shoulders. Tuck your hair up as you bring the two points together at the top of your head and tie once. Bring the outside point over the back of your head, and tuck it under the tie. Pull and tuck, encasing your hair, and then tie a knot at the top, tucking the center end over and under the knot.

Tie your head scarf to form a crown over your head. This is very dressy. Begin as for the bun, but instead of tying the ends around the tucked under portion of the back, bring the ends over the crown of your head, keeping them as tight as comfortable, cross over and tie at the back. You can also twist each end as you bring them over the crown to the back.

Have your head scarf as head covering and as a neck warmer. Begin as for the bun, but tie the side ends in a double knot at the back. Tuck the center triangle under as before, and loosely wrap the side ends decoratively around the neck. Do not tie.

Braid your hair and your scarf too. Begin as for the bun, tie the two ends under the back and grasp the middle triangle. Braid the ends as you would hair. Tie the ends or use a hair elastic to secure the braid.

Wear more than one scarf for a layered look. Tie the first scarf as for the bun, take the second scarf, and place over the first. Tie under the first scarf’s tie, keeping everything tight. Take each of the two side ends, and bring over the top of the crown behind the two colors. Do the same with the other side and tie everything at the back.

Use your scarf other places besides your head. Loop it around your neck and let the ends hang loosely in front. Fold it diagonally, twist and fold in half, and then place the ends through the loop and place around the neck loosely. Tie the ends and let the scarf drape in front like a shawl. If the scarf is long enough, twist into a rope and wear as a belt or sash.

Tie a rosette turban to hide curlers, or a bad hair day. Fold the head scarf over as before and bring all three ends to the side of the head. Twist the ends together to form a rope. Wrap the rope around in a rosette, and secure.

A Kelly wrap will protect your hair and neck. Place the triangle on your head, wrap the ends around the front of the neck, cross to the back and tie. You’re done.
