For a little retro and original touch, you can add volume to your hair by brushing it in the opposite direction, i.e. from the tips to the roots. Or use hairspray, for example, to add volume.
2. The bandana tied in loose hair
This way of wearing the bandana is suitable for both long and short hair. A classic version that continues to please with its chic and retro look. An original and seductive boho chic style that remains trendy.
Once you have selected your bandana, simply :
- Fold diagonally to form a triangle.
- Fold the tip to a width of about 10 cm, then continue to fold it to obtain a bandana (it's up to you to choose the width of your bandana, wide or more discreet depending on the effect you want).
- Place the bandana on the back of your head.

Tie your hair in a ponytail, high or low depending on your desires. You can style your hair flat on your head for a strict hairstyle that the bandana will enhance with its little flashy touch.
Or leave it a little loose for a bohemian chic style.
- Once your hair is tied up, tie your bandana around the elastic in one or more turns depending on the length you want to let your hair down. Or you can also make several turns around the elastic to give more volume and effect to the knot, like the scrunchie for hair.
- It's up to you to add your own personal touch by finishing the knot, for example, according to your hairstyle. All styles are allowed if you have good taste. Match your hair bandana to your outfit or contrast it to give it an original and chic style.
