I'm starting this thread to further the discussion we had from the 2016 fall scarf thread so the thread remains on topic.
The fall 2016 scarf thread:
http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/the-fall-2016-scarves.939230/
So, for those who wear scarves on their heads, please let us see your beautiful style and inspire each other! And let's share our tips with each other.
I'm going to copy and paste the question I brought up in the fall 2016 thread and see if I can get some good tips here.
For ladies who wear the carré on the head, I have a little question for you. How do you avoid the makeup stain? It's only happened to me once and I was able to get it off, but it made me quite nervous when that happened. I would really like to know if someone has some secret tip to prevent it from even happening? I've thought about wearing a real hair band underneath but then I think it kind of lose that "I don't care" attitude for wearing scarf on the head. Now when I'm wearing silk on my head, I basically have very very little foundation on my forehead and pretty much none near my hairline. Anyone has some tips?
And to start the sharing. Sorry for the double posting, but that's the only pic I have on my cell phone now. Let's see more from you!

Not strictly as the head-wrap as seen on h.com but other ways more generally
Twist front, final knot behind
Hairband with knot at the back (no twist to the front)
Headwrap (with hair-comb - optional). Bias but only folded in once, knot to the front
Knot at the back through scarf ring
Hat bad with Romance (can be around the head too)
70 worn 'Spanish style' then bring the tails round and secure with Mors

Fabulous pictures, PaperTiger!
I wanted to mention to Cavalla that I've never had a problem getting makeup on my scarf from wearing as a a headband, and I looooove makeup. Also, while the silks slip, mousselines hold tight!

Love this thread revival! I would love to wear scarves on my head more often....anybody have the guts to wear turbans? It's over 100F where I live right now so the more my hair is off my face the better!
I wear H 70cm silk or cotton as hairbands, and an ancient 90cm silk as a head wrap on the beach .
I do find thinner nonH silks work better because there's less bulk .
Best to leave face makeup off I think!
The turban look is sensational on a younger person, I saw a couple of girls in H trying a lovely bright carré this way .It was tied very tightly and I was horrified that they were allowed to try a scarf this way , yuk for the eventual buyer .
A lot of girls in my edgy area wear non H silks this way , but go for the whole look : ankle socks , mainly black and grey minimalist clothing….fab.
.
Here is my head wrap look in Provence , just a bias fold covering all front hair and tied towards one side .A well worn scarf ideally . softer anymore drapey.View attachment 3429962

I can vouch that Papertiger rocks the scarf headband look like no other ! You're an inspiration!
Great thread!
I am so guilty of wearing my H silks on my head, only rarely as pictured at hermes.com.
My hair is my favourite part of my appearance, but I do not like it in my face, so I often wear something to keep it out. It also happens every now and then that I leave the house with a scarf around my neck, but as temperature rises during the day I slide it up on my head. I quite like that look.
70ies work very well, my Jardin sur le Nil-Twilly is extra cute, the teal silk bandana gives a completely different vibe.
The 90ies are a bit tricky, since there is so much fabric to manage. A scarf ring at the side (or a ring on both sides) works magic. Mostly I put the middle of the bias at my neck, twist the tails around each other (like what PocketbookPup called the GeorgesV-Knot, not like a turban) and knot at the neck.
I also wore a scarf turban style once or twice, but it made me feel insecure. Ring helps here as well.
Well yes, they do not stay in place as well as cotton or velvet, but readjusting every now and then does not hurt (it helps that I do not like to wear make up).
I think this is my first post since the big update, lets see if I manage attaching pictures...

and sometimes a bolduc has to do the job of keeping hair out of the face
Quelle Fromage mentioned turbans which set me off to play with a my ancient Brides de Gala. I would definitely wear this on holiday and may even go out around London if i use a nicer scarf .
