You can pass the bandana around your neck , tightening a little. Keep a good length to make a nice knot on your chest. The color will bring tone to your t-shirt.

Cowboy Style

Our dear companions do not have a monopoly on cowboy-style bandanas, quite the contrary! For a very daring look, you can display your bandana in front of your face, on the nose. It hides half of your face. However, we do not recommend this technique, it would be a shame to hide your pretty face!

Point in front

Put on the pointed bandana in front is also a cowboy technique, like the famous Lucky-Luke. Simply fold the accessory diagonally and tie it in the back of the neck, above the hair. The point thus falls on the chest. You can extend the cowboy effect by putting on blue jeans and a red bandana.

In tight scarf, knot behind

You can replace your traditional scarf with your bandana , by tying it around your neck, a bit like chokers. Start by folding your bandana in half to form a triangle, then fold it over itself to create a band, which you place around your neck. All you have to do is tie it on your neck, be careful not to tighten it too much!

In pinup style hair

It's never too late to play pinups! Fold your bandana in half lengthwise until you have a strip of about 2-2 inches. Place the middle of the headband above your neck, then tie a knot above your head.

This look is very feminine, don't hesitate to match your red bandana with your lipstick to be as seductive as you want!

Around the wrist

What if you change your habits? Add a rock touch by wearing the bandana on the wrist . To do this, fold it in half to create a triangle. Take the tip of the triangle and bring it back to the base. Then fold it lengthwise to create a strip (6-8 cm). All you have to do is wrap the bandana around your wrist and tie a knot to secure it. The trick is done!

Wrap it around her bun or ponytail

Want a bit of fantasy in your daily outfit? Add a bandana to your ponytail or bun ! You just have to wrap it around itself and tie a knot around your hair. This will hide your elastic.

In a Headband

If you want to wear a bandana as a headband , you have two options. You can either wrap the bandana on itself and hang it on the back of your neck, below your hair, or you can directly acquire a bandana headband. This second solution is the simplest and fastest way to style your hair on a daily basis. You will then have a nice 80s look which is also very trendy this year!

Hippie style headband

To get a hippie look, just fold the headband over itself, until you get the desired width. Then place it on your forehead and then tie the ends on your head. Be careful that your hair is under the bandana.

To complete your outfit, you can wear a long bohemian dress.

Hip hop hair wrap

To reminisce about the look of the 90s, just think back to our favorite stars from back then, like Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears! They wore it regularly.

To wrap your hair, you just have to fold the bandana diagonally to get a triangle. Drop it above your head, on the top of your forehead. Tie the ends at the back of your head, above your hairline.

Around the ankle

If your outfit lacks pep, you can embellish it with a pretty colored bandana, tied around the ankle. Simply fold this accessory over itself, like you would a headband. Then tie it around your ankle, placing the knot to the side.
