You’ll want to play around to get the placement right. If you tie it where you eventually want it placed, it’s hard to get your hair smooth in the front without messing it up! Also keep in mind, the further back your scarf is, the more likely it is to slip off. Note: You want to TIE the scarf before your hairline starts though, so that when you push it back, your hair is smooth in the front. Push the scarf back slightly away from your forehead–it’s totally up to you, but I like mine where about an inch of my hair is showing in the front. Tie the scarf in the back–into a secure knot. Twist the ends around one another once, and wrap the ends around the back of your head. Wrap scarf around the back of your head, so the two ends are in the front. Roll the scarf “hot dog” style, from the long end to the point. More favorite hair tying scarves:Ī post shared by Jess Keys see my step-by-step hair scarf tying tutorial below!

This is the key to ensuring it won’t sleep–if it’s too far back, it won’t stay in place. I don’t ever have that problem, but I don’t tie it that far back on my head–it’s still pretty far forward. Both are cute! How do you keep it from slipping off? having the “knot” look at the top like you see here. (Use your best judgement here.) It’s TOTALLY fine if it’s longer than that–the ends will just hang down in the back, which I think is so cute too! If you have a larger head, you may want to try a 35″ scarf, like this one!Īdditionally, if you have one that is smaller than that, and can only wrap around your head once, that’s okay too! It will just look more like a wider headband tied at the base of your neck vs. I’d say anywhere from 27″+ is good depending on the size of your head. Here’s the answer: You want something big enough to wrap around your head twice–the scarf I’m using here (very old, but this one comes in so many cute patterns and is the same size!) is about 27″ and it’s BARELY long enough.
