One way to tie your hair back with a silk scarf, as demonstrated in the referenced video, involves twisting the scarf and tucking it behind your ear to keep your hair out of your face.
While the provided snippet is brief, we can expand on this general technique to provide a more complete set of instructions, assuming different desired styles:
Here's a breakdown of a common method, incorporating the spirit of the video's quick solution:
- Preparation: Brush your hair to remove any tangles. Choose a silk scarf of appropriate size for your hair length and desired style (a smaller scarf is fine for a simple tie-back).
- Folding the Scarf: Fold the scarf diagonally into a long, thin strip. This can be achieved by folding the square scarf in half diagonally, and then folding the long point towards the center, and repeating this process until you reach the desired width.
- Positioning the Scarf: Hold the center of the folded scarf at the nape of your neck, just below your hairline.
- Bringing the Scarf Forward: Bring both ends of the scarf up and around to the front of your head, just behind your ears and hairline.
- Tying the Scarf: Tie the ends of the scarf together in a knot at the top of your head, or slightly off to the side. Make sure the knot is secure, but not too tight.
- Adjusting the Scarf and Hair: Gently adjust the scarf and hair to achieve your desired look. You can leave some hair hanging down in the front or tuck it all behind the scarf. The video snippet shows tucking the scarf behind the ear. You can adapt this, too.
- Securing Loose Ends (Optional): If the ends of the scarf are too long, you can tuck them under the scarf at the back of your head, or tie them in a decorative knot.
This is just one method. Depending on the scarf size, hair length, and desired style, there are many variations, including using the scarf as a headband, wrapping it around a ponytail, or creating a turban-style wrap. The brief video excerpt demonstrates a quick twist-and-tuck method for a simple, cute look.
