Add a touch of elegance to your hair glam with just one accessory!
Silk headscarves, bandanas, and cute ribbon wraps are all made for summer hairstyles. They work both as headwear that protects your hair from the sun’s harmful rays and a fashionable hair accessory that easily transforms any boring look into something more jazzy.
We’ve collected five cool scarf hair hacks to give your locks an edge this season and bring “hot girl summer” vibes to your everyday glam. Scroll down for the ultimate hair inspiration!
Tired of wearing caps all the time? How about turning your printed headscarf into summer headwear with just a few steps? Take your scarf and fold it into a triangle first. Then, place it on your forehead while pinning the edge with some bobby pins on both sides for a no-slipping effect.
Take some more fabric from the back and fold it once again so that it covers the bobby pins. Finally, tie the two ends behind your head and bring the nostalgic flair back to your style!
If your scarf is short and slippery, this trick can help it stay in place. Grab your folded bandana and place it on your forehead, with the tips hanging in front of your face as if you want to cover it with fabric.
Next, take some snap hair clips and secure the edge of the scarf along the hairline. Flip the tips over towards the back and tie them as usual. That’s it! Your fail-proof summer vacation hairstyle is ready.
Don’t know how to use a thin ribbon scarf? Try this hack next time! To recreate, tie the hair strand at the back of your head with a ribbon to create a small knot. Then, bring the side tendrils back and repeat the process. Continue tying your hair until you get a thick braid with peekaboo ribbon details woven into your locks.
This 70s-inspired retro hairstyle is a cool option for curly tresses, as it keeps the hair away from the face and maintains the volume around the top. To get the same look, leave out the front tendrils and pull the rest of your hair up.
Then, wrap your head with a scarf just behind the hairline and tie the ends at the nape. Next, let your tresses loose so that they cover the knot and flaunt the dreamiest glam of the season!
Here’s one more easy way to elevate your summer look with this ponytail hack. First things first, section off the front pieces of your hair and bring those sections in front of your shoulders, leaving the back section loose.
Next, wrap a skinny scarf around the back section and tie it in a knot at the base. Then bring the scarf forward over your shoulders. Then, pull the front sections back so they rest on top of the scarf. Tie the scarf over all three sections to secure everything into one romantic ponytail.
There are many ways to accessorize your tresses this summer. Try a classic vintage-wrap technique or go bold with a bandana-babe style. No matter your choice, a trendy hairdo will make every look special and on point!
