From Belt To Hair Tie: Use Scarf In 4 Different Ways To Update Your Look

You might be familiar with different ways of tying a scarf around your neck, but have you ever thought about using it differently? Well, soft and silky scarfs look great when wrapped around the neck but can be transformed for other styling purposes as well. You’ll be surprised to know how this small piece of accessory can serve so many different purposes and look equally good in all. Here are some scarf styling options that you can pick, the next time you dress up. 

Headband 

You can also ditch your basic headband and make a personalised one for yourself. All you need is a scarf and you are good to go. You can either match it with your outfit or use contrasting shades, to complement your look. 

Steps to make the headband: 

• Step 1- Keep both the sides of the scarf equal and place it around your neck. 
• Step 2- Now take both the sides and wrap it around your head. 
• Step 3- The scarf should outline your hairline and should pass from behind your ears. 
• Step 4- Once you reach the top of your head, cross both the sides and overlap the scarf. 
• Step 5- Now take the left part towards the right and right part towards the left, in such a way that both ends of your scarf meet at the back side of your neck. 
• Step 6- Secure the headband in place by tying the ends together.
