STYLE SPOTTING | Bandana 101
May 08, 2012If I am going to be a famous singer in a band, I'll probably name my group, "The Bandana Bandits". I think girls who can sport this look are pretty, confident and awesome!
To say that I love vintage is an understatement. I just love, love old people, place, style, etc. I really wished I lived back then (okay no Iphone but I heard the guys are just so gorgeous!).
If you remember Sunday's prenup shoot here, our theme was the 50's era so I had to come up with a style suited for 50's and I just remembered some old movies I saw in the past wherein porcelain(ed), red lippie(d) girls are shown in a car complete with bandana(s) on their hair. I mean-- that was probably the coolest thing on earth 60 years ago.
Today- I am going to show you how to ace wearing the bandana which I think is perfect for this summer as we need somehow to protect our skin and hair from the scorching heat.
How To's:
- If you can curl your hair with a curling iron, please do so.
- Tease your bangs to create some volume.
- Roll your bangs with your fingers and find the most flattering spot to highlight the height of your hair then secure with pins.
- You may opt to tie your hair the pony style way to move them away from your bangs.
- Get the bandana, fold the bandana in your desired length
- Put the ends of the bandana on top of your head and create a bow or just tie it any other way. Please don't forget to tie it after where your bangs are secured in Step 3.
- Put some hairspray if you must.
Now, here are few photos for better illustration:
And of course here's my own version on last Sunday's shoot:
Happy Bandana Day, Bellas!
