After many requests, I finally made a tutorial on how to tie a simple head scarf. It's really, really easy. I did this without looking in the mirror, so that should tell you how easy it is. Let's get started!

Start with a large, square scarf. I like my vintage silk scarves because they're soft and not bulky.

Fold one corner to the other to form a triangle.


Fold the corner down to about the middle, and then fold over again (but not all the way to the edge, because you want it to be a little thicker).

Put the scarf around your head with the ends in the front, making sure the wrong side of the scarf (the part where you can see the folds) is against your head.


Tie it in a loose knot at the front. I like to keep the whole scarf a little on the loose side (it will stay in place).


Tuck the ends behind/underneath the scarf.

Done!














LOVE. I will be doing this as soon as possible. I really never thought I could pull it off and I have so many vintage scarfs!! Thank you Keiko!!!

Gorgeous! What did you do with your hair? Loose topknot? Can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial! i love following your tutorials cuz they are really easy to follow - thanks, friend!!
ReplyDeleteKK: Thanks! Just a messy bun. I have a tutorial here: http://www.keikolynn.com/2011/05/hair-tutorial-messy-bun.html
ReplyDeleteThis looks SO good on you! I think I'm going to try it...
ReplyDeleteI have a scarf i have been wanting to try this with for ages...but i never worked out how to get it to look good. I will definietly be trying it when i get home :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo, first of all, love. That scarf is delightful. Secondly, are you able to get scarfs to stay on or do you find yourself needing to readjust throughout the day. I've tried this and I find my scarves always slide back! Tips? Tricks? You would be my forever hero <3
ReplyDeleteLoriLynn: Mine stay on really well, but it might be because 1) they're oldsilk and they aren't slippery and 2) they're well trained (I've worn them like this for years). If you're having issues with it, try bobby pinning it in place!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all like it, so far! Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteGreat post ! Thanks for sharing ! I'm gonna try it soon !

Looks great on you. I've tried this before and it never quite looked right on me. But now that I have my new pixie cut, maybe I can pull it off!!!!
ReplyDelete(clearly, I realize you don't have a pixie, I'm just thinking perhaps it's the change I need to be able to pull off some new looks, such as wearing a headscarf).
yay! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! It's almost turban-ey with less bulk,you're adorable :)

Is there anything you can't do? Absolutely gorgeous and thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post - I have never seen a head scarf on anyone that compelled me to wear one... as popular as the "turband" thing is right now - I couldn't get into it. Your post makes me want to try it now!!! I love when I get inspired by a post that makes me want to try something new - this one did that! Thanks!!

Thanks for breaking this down! It's a beautiful look on you. I will give it a shot....my hair is naturally curly (Bernadette Peter's-esque) so it may not translate well, or it might be pretty in it's own, different way. Either way, it should be easy to execute =)
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is just natural light - I rely heavily on natural light because I know next to nothing about lighting. I want to learn! I sometimes use an SB-600 flash, triggered remotely.
Thank you!! Also, what tee shirt are you wearing in this post? It looks really interesting!
