Ways to tie a bandana on a man's head

There are several ways to tie a bandana on your head. Here are the most common and beautiful of them. Then you can choose or even come up with the best option for you.

Method 1

Classics of the genre. This option has long been worn by both men and women. It is very simple, but at the same time attractive and always appropriate. What to do:

• First, fold the square scarf into a triangle. Be sure to check that it is even;
• Place the bandana over your head at an angle backwards.Press the center to the lower or middle part of the forehead, and bring the ends behind the crown;
• tie the ends into a knot at the back of your head (the tighter the better, but make sure that the headdress does not put pressure);
• the top of the triangle, that is, the node that is located at the back, should be under the node;
• smooth out all resulting folds.

The traditional bandana is worn either pulled down over the ears or tucked behind them. The choice is up to you.

This method has been used by bikers for a long time, but now it has become fashionable and popular among many people. It will not only complement a boring look, but also protect from the scorching sun on a hot summer day. It is also convenient to use on the beach instead of a Panama hat or a baseball cap..

Method 2

You can use a bandana to make a comfortable headband, which can be not only a stylish accessory (if you have short hair), but also a functional assistant (if you have long hair). There is no need to be afraid that the headband is only a women’s accessory, because this is far from the case. Many young people wear it as an element of sports, rap or casual style. To create it you need:

• Roll the square scarf into a triangle, and then fold it several times until it turns into a thin strip 2–4 cm wide:
• attach the strip to your forehead in the center, bring the ends back and tie a strong knot (preferably a double one);
• turn the bandage over with the knot facing forward and place it either in the center or on the side, straightening the ends.
• Option: the bandage can be tied immediately with a knot in the front, but this way it can slip off when tying.

Method 3

Remember Captain Jack Sparrow from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”? You can tie a bandana on your head the pirate way. In principle, it is very similar to the first option, but it has its own characteristics:

• to start, fold the square scarf into a triangle again;
• Fold the resulting triangular bandana again so that you get a fairly wide strip of fabric (that is, there should not be such a pronounced angle);
• Place the scarf over your head, placing the central part on your forehead and bringing the ends back;
• tie a strong double knot and straighten the resulting headdress.
• This look is suitable for both everyday wear and pirate costumes. And it will also suit the military style. Bartenders, waiters and chefs of Japanese restaurants also like to tie bandanas this way.

A bandana is a self-sufficient accessory, so it is better to choose other clothes to go with it that are calm and not too provocative. Of course, if it's not biker style.

A bandana tied with a headband is perfect for young guys. It can be combined with an oversized sweatshirt and jeans, a denim jacket, polo or shirt. On your feet you can wear not only sneakers or sneakers, but also “hipster” boots such as loafers, Chelsea or Oxfords. The headband looks stylish with a leather jacket and leather trousers in the same color scheme.
