My friend said to me the other day that she was impressed by how I have embraced the headscarf with such intensity. She actually can't remember me without it and I think that is a sign of complete success! Obviously, my absolute favorite accessory is the hair bow. I wear one with practically everything. And now you can too!
I originally posted this last summer, but I think some of you might have missed it and frankly, now is the perfect time to test it out anyways! It looks especially great in spring - so fresh! Something I didn't mention last time, to get the best bow, your scarf should be about 36" square or 54" X 10" long.
It really is super easy and if you have the confidence and flair, you can make this retro accessory look totally modern and cute!
Watch the video and check out below for some more detailed instructions.
Step #1
Grab a pretty square or rectangular scarf and 6 bobby pins.
Step #2
For a square scarf, fold it in half- creating a triangle. Then you want to start at the tip of the triangle and roll the scarf inwards creating a strip approx. 2” wide.
For a rectangular scarf, just kinda scrunch it up (or roll it if it is really wide) to create that same 2” wide strip.
Step #3
Place the scarf at the centre back of your neck, lift the ends to the front of your head and tie a knot. Making sure it is secure, go ahead and tie a bow. Using the “bunny ears” method is the easiest- try to think of when you were a kid tying your shoelaces for the first time. Then once that is done, fluff out the bow to get it exactly how you want it.
Step #4
Secure the bow with a few bobby pins. At the back of your head on either side, you are going to want to place 2 pins in an X shape for maximum strength. Then place one on either side of the bow at the front of your head (not to worry - the bow should hide the pins).
And that’s it! An eye-catching effect that frames your face and will get people noticing you!
Hope you try it out soon – let me know how it goes!
