Looking to add a new tool to your hair arsenal? Bandanas may not appear to be versatile, but they can be worn with a variety of hairstyles and lengths. From sophisticated retro rolls to hip hop style braids, bandana hairstyles are as diverse as the bandanas themselves.
Bandanas can be worn as headbands in modern urban hairstyles or as an essential accessory in sexy pinup updos. Here are some creative photo ideas.
1. Messy Updo with a Romantic Twist
A messy updo that works for both the office and a date saves a lot of time. Begin with a ponytail and use pins to secure your hair in a roll style, pulling random strands out to create a messy look. Finished with a semi-sheer bandana tied in a bow.
2. Tousled Ponytail with Flyaways
Hairstyles with bandanas can be as simple as a ponytail. A flirty tousled ponytail is instantly transformed with a showy bandana or hair scarf. And chin-length loose strands will nicely frame the face, adding a playful touch to your look.
3. Pin Up Style Barrel Roll ‘Do
Bandanas and pinup style have more in common than you might realize. All the cool girls of the 1950s wore them. Here’s an excellent example of how to use a bandana to hold up shorter hair, complete with a modest barrel roll.
