This is the first time I've worn it like this and I liked it! Especially since I didn't feel like doing ALL of my hair just to run errands. The back is a complete rat's nest probably. So it was either this or a beanie. FYI, hairstylist are SUPER lazy with their own hair on their day off. Hell, Hair Stylist are super Lazy with their own hair, period. It just doesn't look like it cus we're magic.
In case you're interested, here is how I did this little Gypsy Wrap (name trademarked, Leslie Kay Rees INC. A zero liability company)... (P.S. don't judge how I look, just got done with kickboxing)
Start with a square scarf or bandanna and fold one corner down like this...
It's important to only fold a little bit or else the scarf wont lay flat enough on your head.
Put the side you folded on the back of your head, near the nape of your neck. Pull the corners on the sides up and tie them in a knot like this...
Now tuck the loose ends in...
Take the end that is hanging life-less in front of your face and roll it back. Tuck that in behind the knot you just made.
Tah-Da! I left some pieces around my face out and curled them back.
I also thought it would be cute to make a little pompadour with my bangs right in front of the knot. Or for you long haired girls, you could leave it down and wear the knot up a little bit more towards your forehead. You could also put it in a low messy bun right below the scarf. Leave some bang out or make a little pomp in the front.
Tips
-I don't think this would be very cute with a regular red bandanna, if only for the fact you'd look like Aunt Jemima. But try it out, maybe I'm wrong!
-Head scarfs and wraps aren't for the faint of heart, Be prepared to get as many weird looks as compliments. Haters gonna hate when you're a wanna-be gypsy! It's all about owning it.
Ramble On!

- FaceTiming with this little guy while he CUT HIS OWN DAMN HAIR...
He's special. Maybe I should be a better friend and go SLC and do it for him! Like the old days in Logan. Love you, Bradley!
