Sure, bandanas might look ridiculous on Bret Michaels, but if you actually style them the right way, they’re so freakin’ cute! Plus, they’re the perfect spring and summer accessory. They’ll keep the hair off your neck and give the perfect pop of color to an otherwise simple ensemble. Plus, they’re just so darn chic. Here’s five easy and fun ways to style them. (p.s. You can also use a light scarf!)

• Then fold the bandana (or scarf) into a triangle and keep folding until about 3″ wide.

How-to:

First put your hair in a messy bun or give it that wavy look with the beach spray. Wearing your hair down with this style looks better with longer strands, and if your hair is on the short side, try wearing it pinned up! Then simply wildly wrap the scarf around your head. This is supposed to be a casual look, so the messier, the better.
