Tying a scarf on natural hair can be a stylish and protective way to manage your locks. Here's a simple method, especially good for beginners:
-
Create a Base: Gather your hair into a bun or a small knot close to your forehead. This provides volume and shape under the scarf.
-
Position the Scarf: Place the scarf around your head, ensuring it covers the bun completely. The scarf should cover your hairline comfortably.
-
Secure and Style: Take the two ends of the scarf and bring them up, tying them into a knot. The knot can be positioned at the front, side, or back depending on the desired look.
-
Twist and Tuck (Optional): For a more elaborate style, twist the ends of the scarf together, then coil the twisted headwrap into a bun shape, often positioned high at the front. Tuck the ends securely.
Tips for Success:
- Choose the right scarf: Silk or satin scarves are gentle on natural hair and help prevent breakage. Consider the size of the scarf - a larger scarf allows for more styling options.
- Secure the scarf: Use bobby pins to secure the scarf in place, especially if you are doing a more intricate style.
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to try different tying methods to find what works best for your hair and personal style. There are many different ways to tie a scarf!
- Consider patterns and colors: Choose patterns and colors that complement your outfits and express your personality. Intricate patterns can really elevate your look.
By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional headwrap that protects your natural hair while adding a touch of style.
