3 Easy Scarf hairstyles + a poem for fun
3 Scarf Hairstyles you can dress up and down
A Poem:: Ode to scarf hairstyles
Today you’re silky, square, and BIG
Tomorrow, satin-n-twisted to the size of a twig.
Headband, hair cap, pony or bow
I just can’t seem to let you go.
It’s twilly how much I love to style with you
Can even wrap day four hair in a pretty up-do.
You have colors galore and fun to play
How will we style you up today?
The endless and simple scarf hairstyles add color + style into your everyday –and travel– wardrobe. And to not overwhelm with scarf ideas, this post brings only three ideas.
The square scarf + twilly scarf
My two favorite types of scarves are the classic square, large and small, and the Twilly scarves.
The name Twilly sounds fancy and breezy doesn’t it? Twilly’s are seen on handbag handles, used as stylish neckerchiefs, and hair bands.
Large squares:: best for full cover and when you want to weave it through your braids or ponytails
Small squares:: also weaveable, but good for tiny knot under your hair without a lot hanging down your back
Twilly scarves:: neat name, but it’s as basic as a long skinny stripe of fabric {2-4 inches wide}
Suns Out Bun’s Out
1/ Messy Bun Scarf hairstyle
Here’s your perfect, “Don’t want to mess with my hair today hairstyle.”
It looks like you cared by weaving a cute-pattern scarf scarf into it, but it’s the ultimate toss-up-n-go fun look. My long, curly, full hair left me shortly after the birth of my second babé {did you hear Moire Rose when I said “babé”?}.
If your messy buns look less full on the top at 50 than they did at 20, using scarves in your hairstyles is a huge bonus in hair-life! The cute scarves take the focus off the tiny messy bun versus all those volumeous 20-something messy buns we see on #hairstagram.
How To Style It
1/ Brush your hair into a high-ponytail and secure into your messy bun {tease it}
2/ Take a small square scarf {or a Twilly too} and pull one end through your band
3/ Wrap it around & split your messy bun in half with the scarf before tying {bit more flair}
{or you can simplify and wrap it around the band and tie in a knot}
{58-seconds later you’re hair-styled for the day!
2/ twilly scarf with a twist
I use the Twilly scarves as headbands most days. Keeps your hair away from your face but not up in a ponytail all the time. Sometimes I get a bit fancy and twist front hair pieces over the scarf, like I did in this REEL LINK
3/ Beach Ready hairstyle
Want a perfect beach-ready hairstyle?
Some beaches are windy
All beaches are sandy
Some are hot-n-humid
Others cool-n-breezy
Hot or cool, windy and sandy, skip the beach hat this time and try a scarf for beach days::
1/ Your hair will look good all day at the beach
2/ It will stay outta your face with the wind blowing every-which-way
3/ You won’t be brushing sand knots out of your hair for the next week
This large square paisley one is a perfect scarf to use for this beach-ready scarf hairstyle::

Scarves are THE easiest way to style up your hair for a date night, girls night, or a messy bun twist to yoga class. Just make sure it’s a high bun for yoga. Don’t want it disturbing your Savasana by laying with a lump on your head.
