Five ways to tie a scarf on a bad-hair day

Everyone has them. You wake up, look in the mirror, and your hair has made other plans. Before you reach for heat, reach for silk. These five looks take just a few minutes each.

1. The wide halo band

For flat roots. A wide band set a finger behind the hairline lifts the front and frames your face, while your curls stay free behind it. It should sit snug, not tight.

2. The bandana tie

For a frizzy crown. Fold into a triangle, cover the top of your head, and tie at the nape. The curls at the back carry the look.

3. The low bun wrap

For tired lengths. Gather everything into a loose low bun and wrap the scarf around it. Polished in two minutes.

4. The full turban

For the days nothing works. It covers everything and looks deliberate. Bold earrings recommended.

5. The twisted headband

For big hair that just needs a little edge. Twist the scarf into a rope and lay it across loosely, with your crown out and loud above it.

A bad-hair day is just a good scarf day in disguise.
