Why this worksHair wraps not only keep your hair off your neck but also add a splash of colour and style. They can protect your hair from sun damage and tangling, making them perfect for outdoor events. Plus, they're super easy to do, especially when you're in a hurry!

The ritual, step by step

  1. Gather Your Supplies You'll need a colourful scarf or fabric, a hair tie, and clips for any loose strands. Choose a fabric that’s lightweight for comfort.
  2. Prep Your Hair Start with clean, dry hair. You can apply a bit of leave-in conditioner for added smoothness and manageability.
  3. Create a Low Ponytail Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure it with a hair tie, ensuring it's tight enough to hold the wrap.
  4. Wrap the Scarf Fold the scarf in half lengthwise, place it at the base of the ponytail, and wrap it around the hair, going upwards. Tie it securely at the top.
  5. Secure and Style Tuck any loose ends of the scarf into the wrap to prevent them from sticking out. You can also add clips for extra security.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to secure their hair tightly, leading to slips. Others may choose scarves that are too heavy, which can weigh down the hair. Remember to tuck in all loose ends to prevent messy bits popping out during the day.

The pro moveTry using a scarf with a fun pattern or bright colours to really stand out at festivals.
