How to wear a bandana

Every way below starts from one of two folds. Learn those and the rest takes a few seconds.

The two folds

Start flat, print side down.
Triangle: fold corner to corner.
Band: from the triangle, fold the long edge over in strips.

  1. Headband

    Starts from the band

    1. Lay it flat and fold it corner to corner into a triangle.
    2. From the long edge, fold over in 3–4 cm strips until you have a band.
    3. Put the middle on your forehead, take the ends round to the back and knot them under your hair.

  2. Classic head wrap

    Starts from the triangle

    1. Fold it into a triangle.
    2. Put the long edge on your forehead with the point hanging down the back of your head.
    3. Tie the two ends at the back of your neck, over the point.

  3. Neckerchief

    Starts from the triangle

    1. Fold it into a triangle.
    2. Hang it with the point at the front, under your chin, or to one side.
    3. Tie the ends behind your neck. For a tighter look, use the band fold and knot it at the front.

  4. Wrist

    Starts from the band

    1. Make the band fold, but keep it narrow (about 3 cm).
    2. Wrap it twice round your wrist.
    3. Knot it, then tuck the ends under the wrap.

  5. Ponytail

    Starts from the band

    1. Tie your hair with an elastic first.
    2. Make the band fold and lay its middle under the elastic.
    3. Knot it once or twice on top and let the ends hang.

  6. Belt loop or bag strap

    Starts from the band

    1. Use the band fold, or fold it into a small triangle.
    2. Pass it through a belt loop or round a bag strap.
    3. Tie a single knot and let the print hang.
