Scarves have quickly become one of the hottest accessories right now; they can also make for a stylish hairstyle! Here are three easy-to-follow scarf hacks to add chic to your daily looks.
French Braid Scarf Style:
To create this look, braid a scarf into a French braid for an eye-catching woven effect. First, ensure a tangle-free braid before folding the scarf into a long band and tying it in the back.
Ponytail Styling:
A ponytail is an enduring classic with endless convenient and eye-catching styles. Wear it every day, or add some flare for date night. To spice it up, add a few wavy tendrils around your face for framing purposes and tease out more volume at your crown before concealing its elastic by wrapping it in part of your hair or using an attractive ribbon to tie it around! A wavy ponytail exudes femininity, while sleeker versions look contemporary and chic. Ponytails work well on extended locks, shorter natural waves, or human extensions that match your color and texture. Add red carpet-ready styling to your ponytail with a deep side part, or make it casual by using a claw clip in the center of your neck. You can also add an eye-catching patterned scarf as an unexpected pop of color to your look!
French Twist Perfection:
The French twist is an iconic updo that adds an instantaneous glamour to any dress. Achievable without professional help at home, it never goes out of style and always looks fantastic. Begin your French twist look with a blow-dry that provides plenty of lift. Use R Co DALLAS Thickening Spray before switching to R CO CHIFFON Styling Mousse for shine and hold. For an edgier style, like Katy Perry’s, apply NARS Eyeshadow in Outremer to the back of your French twist and then pin thin sections using vertically placed bobby pins to achieve a criss-cross effect. Finish it off with hairspray for a polished and complete look. This style is suitable for special events as well as work days!
Romantic Milkmaid Braid:
Long-haired women will love wearing the milkmaid braid, one of the most romantic and stunning styles ever created by braiders. Perfect for any special event or eventful day, this look looks fabulous when paired with pretty accessories. Furthermore, its practicality makes this style easy to maintain. Just tie two low pigtails around each other before wrapping them around your crown to complete this unique design – ideal for showing off intricate braiding skills! Upgrade your standard Milkmaid braid by mixing it with a fishtail or traditional braid. This will create an eye-catching pattern that will surely draw friends’ attention. Add an adorable boho vibe by including some flowers in your braid – adding these floral designs is ideal for bohemian-inspired looks, suitable for summer party attire, and makes hair look dainty and pretty.
Classic Three-Strand Braid:
Three-strand braids are among the easiest and classic braid styles to learn and look stunning too. Perfect for work or school environments or casual outings with friends. To create a three-strand braid, divide your hair into three equal sections and mentally label each as “hair Strand 1,” “hair Strand 2,” and so forth. Bring the right strand under the middle strand before switching sides and smoothing it out. Do this again with the left and right strand until all of your hair has been braided in this pattern until the end of your locks. Beads add an elegant finishing touch when added to strands before crossing them over each other, or experiment with different braiding materials like yarn, cording, or fabric strips for a unique look. Remember to keep braids, or twists moisturized if wearing them – witch hazel, coconut, or jojoba oil may help do this effectively.
