Makeover Monday – Vintage Head Scarf Tutorial

Hello Lovelies! I don't usually have a Monday post, but after a recent outfit post where I featured a scarf wrap (see here) I got questions from a few of you on how I tied my head scarf. Well wish granted! I made my very first tutorial just for you! 

How to Tie a Vintage Style Head Scarf Bow:

- I have my hair in a pin curl setting, but you could just as easily have your hair pulled back in a flat bun and leave your bangs out.
- My scarf is a sheer raw silk in a long rectangular shape (60"x18")

Drape the scarf over your head just behind your bangs (or whatever hair you want exposed).

Grab one side of the scarf in each hand and pull taut.

Move your hands up to the base of your head still holding the scarf taut and making sure all hair is covered at the bottom
