There are many methods which you can follow in order to add a touch of style to your overall appearance.  Of these methods, an easy way of adding style to your ensemble is by tying a bandanna.

This square shaped piece of cloth is a stylish and versatile fashion accessory, which can be used as both a waistband and a headband. One can also spice up a plain outfit by tying a colorful bandanna as a neck scarf.

Tying a bandanna is a very easy process, and all you need to know are some basic steps. Therefore, if you are interested in knowing more about the various bandanna-tying methods, then you can very well follow the tips that are given below.

The Bandanna Headband

If you want to make a beautiful headband, then choose a bandanna that has a width of 2 inches. In order to keep the bandanna moderately long, you have to first fold it in a diagonal manner.

After this, start folding the bandanna towards its pointed end, until it attains the shape of a rectangle. The width of the bandanna can be adjusted depending on the number of folds made. Wrap the folded bandanna over your head, as if you wear a hair band. The ends of the bandanna that are left loose, should be then tied together near the nape of the head in a square knot.

If you want the bandanna to cover your entire head, then all you need to do is to fold it into a triangle, cover it over your head and then tie the ends together. You can also tuck in the loose ends of the bandanna, in order to prevent it from being blown up by the wind.

After tying the bandanna, you can style your hair in an appropriate manner. You can either let your entire hair loose and leave 2 or 3 strands of hair to frame the face or else you can tie up your hair in a simple pony.

Bandanna As A Neckband

In order to make a neckband out of your bandanna, you should fold it in such a way so that it forms a triangle. You can then wrap the bandanna around your neck, tie the two corners in the front and leave the third corner loose at the back, to give an impression of a triangle pointing downward. Another option is to tie the knot at the back and leave the third end loose at the front. The latter is a suitable style when you are wearing low-neck blouses and open collared shirts.

The Bandanna Wristband

One of the versatile methods of using the bandanna is by tying it like a wristband. To do this, fold the bandanna diagonally and then roll up the folded edge towards the pointed portion of the bandanna, until it resembles a thick rope. You can then wind the folded bandanna around the waist by tying the two ends together and tucking them in. The pointed portion of the bandanna can be either left loose, or else it can also be tucked in.

Instead of tying the ends of the bandanna together, you can also secure them by using decorative pins, in order to create a more fashionable bandanna wristband. To create a multicolor wristband, you can roll up two bandannas separately, wrap them around one another and then tie them at their ends. This multicolor bandanna can be then wrapped around the wrist and secured with a knot.

Following the above said bandanna-tying tips will help you in using the fabric according to your liking. However, before trying these tips, you should make sure that the fabric used is clean and free of wrinkles. This is essential in order to ensure the smooth folding of the bandanna.
