How Do I… Tie A Large Satin Head Scarf?

Here are easy instructions on how to tie a LARGE satin scarf before bed.

Step 1: Start with a LARGE satin scarf (duh ).  I got this beaut from H&M but any ginormous satin or rayon scarf (non-cotton basically) will work. I like it because the size makes it adjustable.

Step 2: Fold scarf in half into large triangle.  Depending on my style I may sometimes fold less than a 1/2 over to give even more room for larger styles under there.

Step 3: Lay the middle of the longest part of your triangle (the fold) on your forehead & quit looking up my nose!

there, that’s better

where were we?  ah yes…

Step 4: Keeping tension on the scarf against your head, slide your hands out toward the triangle tips on both side and bring them down and back.  Still keeping tension, cross 1 end over the other and tie them off like this making sure the shorter third end already in the back is underneath:

here’s what it looks like when I turn around:

Step 5: Lastly I tie off the long ends by bringing them up and around to the front, crossing one over the other and tying a knot.  This last step really helps keep it on snug akin to elastic in satin caps.

The Result:  A nice secure hold on my satin scarf for sleeping.
