These are really big right now, aren’t they? I have to say, I don’t quite understand the head scarf phenomenon, but they really are a phenomenon. And there are about a hundred different ways you can wear a scarf, on your head alone. As an additional accessory, really your choices are endless. But this particular way seems to be a popular trend right now. Call it a babushka, turban, headwrap, whatever….don’t matter what you call it, it’s big big big. This is one of those looks you can try on the weekend when you are trying all those things you may never be caught in public with. Wear it around the house and get comfy with it, you may find this trend really works for you. And hey, who doesn’t need saving from a bad hair day once in a while?
What’s the trick? There’s a few actually.
Step 1 – Fold a large square scarf into a triangle, so, from from one corner of the scarf to the opposite corner. I like this one by Emilio Pucci. Mostly because I am really not sold on the look (for myself) but using a designer accessory makes it at least worth a try. 
Don’t let ME scare you though, this look is HOT and if you can swing it, go for it.
Step 2 – Drape it across your head ensuring the long edge lies across your forehead.
Step 3 – Tie the ends into a knot behind your head. You can secure with bobby pins if you want, I do recommend if you are like me wear anything that goes on the head immediately falls off.
Here are some tricks:
Beauty Trick 1 – If you can, put your hair in a ponytail first. It will make it easier for you to tie the knot, and will also help you find the best place for the scarf. Take the pony out once you have placed the scarf and let your hair go loose like Christina.
Beauty Trick 2 – no secret here, I give this one all the time. Spray your bobby pins with extra hold spray before securing, super tight traction and that baby will stay in place.
Beauty Trick 3 – This look seems to work best worn right on the forehead like Christina. Pushing it back any farther, and you may as well be walking to the well for the day’s supplies.
Beauty TIP – Go big on the eyes here just like Christina when you are thinking about makeup. You can see these are nice and dramatic and yet not too overdone. It’s okay to do the same, the scarf will draw attention to your eyes, and since you aren’t really doing much with your hair, you can spend the time on your beauty. Show those babies off!
