Scarf Hairstyles

For many years, hairstyles with a scarf have been popular among women, and there are several reasons for that: they are beautiful, varied, comfy, and easy to do. There are many ways of wearing a hair scarf that you can do yourself regardless of your hair length.

Scarf Hairstyles for Any Hair Length

A scarf looks elegant on long, short, and medium-length hair. It's better to wear it in early autumn, spring, and summer. If the winter is cold, there's no point in wearing such a hairstyle under a hat. In addition, it'll look a little bit weird even indoors. However, if you're really into scarves, you can wear them all year round.

There are different types of hair scarves:

• Silk, linen, cotton bandanas;
• Cotton, silk, synthetic kerchieves;
• Loop scarves;
• Long scarves made of breathable fabric;
• Elastic hair scarves.

The choice of a hair accessory depends on a woman's style and the desired effect. Scarf hairstyles are easy to do as scarves can be easily braided into the hair. Covering all or most of the head with a scarf is a classic option.

For Short Hair

Bandanas, elastic hair bands, and kerchiefs look dazzling on short hair. You can wear scarves in different ways:

1. The most win-win option for a short haircut is to tie a kerchief as a headband or turban. 
2. Those who have an inverted bob can tie the ends of a scarf in a knot on the top of the head. Such a hairstyle looks more stylish and playful with messy bangs.
3. Rolled updos done with a scarf look unusual and charming. This hairstyle is gaining popularity with every season. If you want to get it, you'll need to twist or fold a scarf in half lengthwise, then tie it on the top of the head. The bangs can be pushed back or left loose. You can also hide all the other strands under the accessory. Secure your scarf hairstyle with hairspray or bobby pins.

Hairstyles with a Scarf

Those who have long or shoulder-length hair may let their imagination run wild and create gorgeous scarf hairstyles.

Curls

You can get chic curls with the help of a scarf. For this purpose, apply a little bit of mousse on wet strands and roll a scarf up lengthwise. Do two pigtails and create a middle parting. Then place a scarf on the top of your head and secure it with hairpins. After that, divide your ponytail into two parts and start wrapping the hair around the scarf. Secure the ends using hair ties or hair clips.

If you want to get a stylish hairstyle, braid your hair and then comb it after a couple of hours. Thus, you'll get stunning curls without using hair rollers and curling iron.

Ponytail

Create a classy hairstyle by tying off your ponytail with a scarf. It'll look more unusual if you combine this hair accessory with soft waves or elegant curls.

There are several options for wearing a scarf with a ponytail:

1. Gather your hair into a ponytail on the back of the head, wrap a few strands around the scarf, and secure them with bobby pins and hairspray.
2. Tie a knot underneath the base of a ponytail and let the scarf drape down the back of your head.
3. Tie a knot on the top of a ponytail and leave the ends of the scarf loose.

To do a bun, follow these simple steps:

1. Put your hair up in a ponytail and divide it into two parts.

3. Secure your bun with hair pins.
