I always notice gorgeous silk scarves in stores everywhere…from classic designer Pucci scarves to colorful options being sold on tables on the streets in New York. They look so beautiful and I have always wanted to know how to tie one so that I can wear it and look fashionable

Most hairstyles work best with a silk, or other very thin material, square scarf that is between 24″ and 36″ on each side. Here are my favorite ways to wear a headscarf this summer:

  • Low Bun Wrap - adds glamour to a simple hairstyle. Start with hair pulled back into a low ponytail. Fold square diagonally into a triangle. Place center of long edge of triangle at hairline. Bring edges of triangle around to back tightly and tie under ponytail. Twist ponytail and tied ends of scarf together and wrap around into a tight bun. Tuck edges of hair and scarf under bun.

  • Headband - simple and adds color to a down or updo. Fold square diagonally into a triangle. Roll scarf from long edge of triangle end towards the tip of the triangle so it becomes a long thick rectangular band. Flip hair upside and place center of band at forehead. Tie a square knot under hair at the top of the neck. Flip hair back and flatten around band. Pull long edges of scarf from back of neck to hang in front. You can vary theheadscarf-tying-1

  • Hollywood - glamorous paired with sunglasses. Fold square diagonally into a triangle. Place center of long edge of triangle just above hairline. Cross the ends of the scarf under chin. Bring ends around to back of neck loosely and tie together.headscarf-tying-2
  • Head Wrap - best with voluminous beach hair. Fold square diagonally into a triangle. Place center of long edge of triangle at middle of forehead. Bring edges of triangle around to back tightly and tie together on top of point of scarf. headscarf-tying-3

Now that I have figured out how to wear a headscarf, I will be posting this week with different scarves that you can buy to try out your new scarf style!

The best natural way to treat scars is to apply Vitamin E directly on the scar itself. This will

help in producing more collagen (protein) and when new collagen is produced, new cell growth is

accelerated to fade away your scars. Taking Vitamin E orally does not help so much because very

little of the goodness is distributed to the skin and face. Go for serum or creams which shows

very high concentration of natural Vitamin E as the ingredient. Make sure they are no chemical

substitute which may cause unwanted side effects.

One such product you may try is Natur E scar serum (which i found to be a wonderful product that

works). It is a natural product containing 28000 iu of Vitamin E, hence safe of side effects -

yet it works. You can find out more on www.scarremovaltreatment.net.
