Our assistant managing editor, Yuliana, kept her look simple and chic by folding the scarf into a headband. She just folded it into a long rectangular shape, pressed it against her head, and tied a tight knot in the back. Cute, right?

I've always been a big fan of turbans. In fact, Eva Mendes is one of the first celebs that got me on the trend. Just like with the headband style, I folded the scarf into a long rectangular shape and then placed the middle of the scarf at the nape of my neck, underneath my hair. I then held one end in each hand bringing it up to the top of my forehead and then twisted it twice. Lastly, I tucked in the ends under the scarf.

Staff writer Mariana decided to sport a beach-friendly look. She folded the scarf diagonally into a triangle shape and then placed the center of the long edge of the triangle right at the middle of her forehead. She then brought the edges around to the back tightly and tied it together to the side.

Wear it like a low bun wrap

Yuli volunteered to sport another look for us, one that’s perfect if you’re struggling with a bad hair day. This style adds glamour to even the simplest outfit. She began by tying her hair into a low bun, then folded the scarf diagonally into a triangle shape. She then placed the whole scarf over her head, right at her hairline, bringing the edges of the triangle around to the back, pulling it under the bun, and then wrapping them around the bun. The edges were then tucked underneath.
