Head Scarves « Glitter & Pearls

http://glitterandpearls.com/2011/10/04/head-scarves/ I’ve always believed that girls who wore head scarves just pulled off chic.

How can a girl resist when there are pinks + purples involved?? Lauren’s pink cotton candy bun was pretty cute! As you may know, hair chalking has been around for a little while now and it’s a great way to temporarily add color to your locks.

After many requests, I finally made a tutorial on how to tie a simple head scarf. It's really, really easy. I did this without looking in the mirror, so that should tell you how easy it is.
