I can wear my top knot all week long with these simple scarf hairstyles.
Using the same 80cm square scarf from look 1 and look 2, I’ve tied a simple knotted headband.
How to get the look
Start with a giant top knot. You can make a messy top knot or follow my top knot tutorial which works even if you don’t have a lot of hair.
Fold your scarf into a long strip diagonally. My scarf is approx 80cm square but you can use a rectangular scarf too.
Tie your scarf around your head, making a double knot at the front. Twist the ends and tuck them into the rest of the headband.
This is so simple and easy and a great way to keep layers off your face. If you use a longer scarf you can tie it again at the back and tuck the ends in, or let them hang loose.

How do you secure your hair up at night for days when you don’t wash? I have a hard time finding a way to sleep comfortably without setting kinks in my hair to wear for day 2 and 3.
