Do you ever wear a HS as a headwrap as in H.com?

I did that once and my mom was horrified by such a casual use of a scarf! She only let it go because it was showcased in the booklet ;)

I've tried the headscarf, but I always look like a maid, just like others look like a stewardess with the scarf around their neck ;) maybe I should try again now that I have a MT

Too funny!! I feel the same way.
The only size I've been able to make work are the pocket squares. They make nice, colorful headbands.
I'm not quite ready for a turban. I think that you need to have both great style and a lot of confidence to pull this off.

Thank you all for the inspiration!
I very often wear my scarves on the head... Actually it's probably the way I use them the most! I find it easier though with the cotton ones, the mousselines or the pleated ones. Regular twill 90 centimeters tend to slip more easily... And they're too bulky on my head - too much fabric I presume!
But it's a lot of fun to play with them this way :-)

I do. Perfect for BHDs

Headbands, hairbands (with scarf rings or without) 'Queen'-style, 'Spanish'-style, prairie-style (gavroche triangle knotted at the nape of the neck) covering a chignon, round a chignon, round a hat...:biggrin:

Hair should not be newly washed if you're worried about the silk sliding. Tie tight and use a couple of grips, they hardly move if you spend just a minute

Not strictly as the head-wrap as seen on h.com but other ways more generally

Twist front, final knot behind

Wonderful hairbands Honeylocks, do I spy a Bain de mer and maybe a Mythique Phoenix?






Thank you both:flowers: I've so enjoyed playing with head wraps , and I shall definitely be sporting a turban on the beach and possibly hiking in the Alps …. though a hat does keep the UVs off the aged skin .
Still a scarf will be carried at all times , so useful .

I stayed with a French family years ago and another house guest sprained her arm and used her H scarf as a sling. It was a classic pale pink one , probably Springs or B de G .[/QUOTE]

I usually wear mine around my neck but occasionally wear it as a headwrap. I find the 70s stay on better around my head than the 90s.

Kyokei, I remember one of your early posts, you wore the Tyger Tyger scarf on your head and took a selfie at some cafe or bar. It was a truly impressive shot, you mind sarting that here?
