Tie a bandana: This is how you put the popular shawl as a hair accessory in the limelight

Sizzling alarm in Germany - and on vacation! When the thermometer rises, jeans and sweaters fly into the back of the closet. Welcome bikini! Hello, cool water! Life couldn't be sweeter. If it weren't always for the hair that sticks to our foreheads from the wild water splashing. Real sun worshipers and people who sweat a lot have another nerve factor in the sun: a bead of sweat shining forehead. It's all human, but of course not really cool.

This can be remedied by casual bandanas in various bright colors. Traditional pieces are printed with a paisley pattern, but you can of course fold any other favorite cloth to create a cool bandana.

The trendy scarves are not only super practical in summer to protect yourself from the sun, they can also be folded and tied in different ways so that you can create a different hairstyle with a bandana every day. You can find out here how to tie bandanas and scarves correctly so that they become trendy accessories for your hair.

Tie a bandana: Four variants for your summery bandana look

Do bandanas only allow one look? Think! In fact, the clothes are more diverse than you might think at first glance. Here are four different ways to tie a bandana.

Bandana tie in rockabilly style

In the 1950s, the bandana was probably the most popular accessory for the rockabilly look. Even 70 years later, we still love the cool style and prefer to wear the retro bandana hairstyle with a high braid. Before you can tie the scarf in your hair, however, you first have to fold the square bandana properly:

Spread the square cloth in front of you so that one of the corners is in front of you.
Fold the horizontally opposite corners so that they meet in the middle.
Fold the opposite sides again towards the middle.
Fold the cloth in half one last time.
Place the scarf at the nape of the neck and tie the ends together over the head.

However, this is by no means the only way to tie your bandana in the vintage look of the 50s. In the following alternative, the entire back of the head is covered with the cloth.

So it's best to make a bun or French twist before you tie the scarf around your head. Be sure to choose a larger shawl for this style.

Spread the bandana out and fold one corner a few inches below the opposite tip to form a triangle.
Place the scarf over the head so that the point falls over the forehead and the long side is at the nape of the neck.
Pull both ends up and knot them together over the head. The short tip of the scarf looks out of the knot at the front.
Fold the tip back and tie a second knot.
Insert the short end into the openings in the cloth.

Annoying flying hair or an annoying bad hair day will definitely not spoil your mood with this tying technique for the classic bandana.

Bandana Hairstyles: How to Style the Towels

Tying a bandana: pirate look or 90's trend?

Anyone who ties their bandana as a pirate scarf is absolutely trendy.

The bandana headband was a good form of fashion in the 90s and early 2000s. Even today, the pirate-style bandana is again a popular hair accessory that not only gives every outfit a very special charm in summer but also protects the hair from harmful UV rays. Extra plus point: A greasy hairline is cleverly concealed thanks to the stylish cloth because the special thing about this style is that the haircloth is tied at forehead level.

The trendy pirate look is very easy to tie and can be conjured up in a few simple steps:

Fold the square bandana diagonally in the middle to form a triangle.
Place the long side with the crease on the hairline, forehead, or parting, depending on the style, and pull the ends back to tie them at the back of the head or neck.

Tie the bandana to a hippie scarf

Boho chic is one of the most popular styles in summer. Wide-swinging skirts or airy maxi dresses in floral or paisley patterns - a scarf in your hair gives the hippie outfit the finishing touch. For the boho look, you can give a simple bandana a very special twist - in no time at all!

Fold the bandana into a headband, place it behind the neck and bring the ends to the forehead.
Wrap the two ends around yourself at the level of your forehead and bring them back to your neck at the head.
Knot the ends together. If short tips peek out of the knot, you can tuck them behind the scarf to the left and right of the head.

Tie the bandana as a hairband

Folded a few times, the square bandana makes a perfect headband.

Of course, you can also use the colorful towels as a replacement for a headband. Since classic bandanas are square, you have to fold them properly first. To make a headband out of the bandana, it is best to fold it like it was explained in the first rockabilly style. Finished? Then you can now place the hairband on the top of the head and tie the ends in a knot at the nape of the neck. If you have used a particularly large scarf, the long ends can also hang loosely down your back. You can also use this tying technique for a headband. To do this, you simply pull the bandana a little over your forehead and tie the ends together at the back of your head - this creates a completely different look, which is also great for doing sports, as hair and sweat are kept in check.
