Head Scarf for Summer

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

The weather in New York has been insane. When I first got here at the end of May it was very warm then suddenly it got really chilly and now it is officially HOT! I'm talking sweat-down-your-back, smoggy, humid hot that can make you miserable. To keep my hair off my face (and neck) I have been adopting a new hairstyle with a head scarf. I was flirting with this look back in the spring, but now I can say I am fully committed to the head scarf. First you fold the scarf (depending on the size/shape) so it is long and rectangular, then make an enormous bun on the top of your head, tie the scarf on and make a knot, tucking in the ends. Here is a quick tutorial from Keiko Lynn, who I originally learned the technique from. I have 3 main scarves I wear:



This black and white silk one I bought at Local Honey in Nashville

This dog-print one I scored at the Brooklyn Buffalo exchange (it's originally from Talbots of all places)


This red and white one I've had for years! I think I bought it in Kentucky!
Lipstick: NARS in Flamenco
Giraffe Ring: Fashism 

Hope you guys enjoyed this! Let me know if you are interested in more hair posts or have any questions!
