Bandana

By kayle egibsonPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Are you looking to update your appearance but aren't sure where to start? You're in the right place. Accessories are the key to quick changes in your look. Our favorite hair accessory is the bandana. There is so much you can do with this one piece of fabric. These are five ways to wear your bandana.

LOOK 1:

Step 1 - A prep step is important because shiny, smooth hair looks great with any accessory. To give your hair the best possible care, it is important to use the correct hair treatments. If you are looking for more volume and texture, curl your hair slightly before styling it with the bandana.

Step 2- Part your hair into a center part or an off-center section. Do not part your hair in a deep, side-part. Next, separate a portion of your front hair from the rest.

Step 3- Fold your bandana in half to form a triangle. Then fold it twice along lengthwise so that it looks like an extended rectangle. Once you're satisfied with the shape, place the middle of the bandana at the nape of the neck. Then, bring the ends to the top of your head. Make sure both ends are equal in length.

Step 4- Tie the bandana in a knot. Be careful not to mix the front part with your hair. Tie your knot twice and twist the hair around to make a bunny ear shape.

Step 5- For extra texture and long-lasting hold, try the Volume lifter & Lift Extra Body Mousse. Apply the mousse to your hair using your hands. This will give your hair a messy, textured look.

LOOK2:

Step 1- Part your hair in the middle or slightly off-center. Avoid a side parting, just like the first look.

Step 2- Fold your bandana in the same manner as the first, and then place the center of your forehead. Tie a simple knot by wrapping the ends around your neck.

Step 3- Apply the mousse to your hair to give it texture and a messy look. Use your hands to apply the mousse to your hair.

LOOK3:

Step 1- Part your hair into a deep side part. To make a pouf, pull the hair towards the back. Once you have reached the desired height, pin it using a bobby pin.

Step 2- Fold your bandana in the same way as the previous two. Place the center at your neck. Turn the ends of your bandana towards the front. Make sure the lengths are equal.

Step 3- Tie the ends of your bandana in a knot right behind the pouf. Twist the second knot to create a bunny-ears effect.

Step 4- Tie the bandana in a knot. Be careful not to mix the front part with your hair. Tie your knot twice and twist the hair around to make a bunny ear shape.

Step 5- Take a small amount from the mousse and rub it into your hair. This will give your hairstyle a long-lasting, messy texture.

LOOK 4:

Step 1- Fold your bandana in half, so that it forms a triangle. The triangle's long side should be against your neck. Place the long side ends of the triangle towards the front. The middle end should be on your head.

Step 2- Tie the ends of the bandana to the top of your head. Then, tuck the middle under the knot. You have the option of tucking your hair into the bandana or letting a little bit stand out.

Step 3- Secure the bandana on your head, and then tuck in any bits that stick out. The knot should be tucked under the middle-end bandana.

LOOK 5:

Step 1- Fold your bandana in half to form a triangle. The long side of the triangle should be placed across your forehead. Tie the ends at your back.

Step 2- Tuck the middle section under the knot and then tuck any remaining sections of the bandana.
