If you are looking for how to fold a bandana into a headband, you have come to the right place. While bandanas can be worn in a variety of ways, there are two easy bandana headband styles that are cute, trendy, and functional. Read on to discover how to wear a bandana as a headband.
How to Fold a Bandana Headband
The first step to wearing a headband as a bandana is learning how to fold a bandana headband. First, lay your bandana flat. Then, take one corner and fold it to its opposite corner. But don’t align them perfectly. Instead, leave a centimeter of space between the corners touching.
Now that your bandana looks like a triangle, take the two points at the top and fold them down to the straight edge at the bottom. Then, fold the bandana in half horizontally, twice.
How to Tie a Bandana Headband
Now that your bandana headband is folded, you are ready to learn how to tie a bandana headband for a cute, chic look. First, if your hair is long, put it in a ponytail or bun to make sure all the hair is off your neck. While you can put your hair back down after your bandana headband is tied, it will be easier to style with your hair out of the way.
Next, wrap the folded bandana around your neck so the two ends are in front of you. Grab each of the ends and wrap the folded bandana around your head. Once the two ends meet at the top of your head, tie them together in a secure knot.
How to Style a Bandana Headband
Once your bandana is folded and tied around your head, there are two bandana headband styles to choose from.
You can twist the two loose ends of the knot so they stick out to the side of your head. These cute “bunny ears” look great with your hair down or pulled into a loose side ponytail. Or, if the “bunny ears” style isn’t for you, you can tuck the two loose ends of the bandana underneath the headband, leaving a simple yet stylish knot on top.
