Fold the handkerchief in half diagonally. Fold one corner of the handkerchief over another to form a triangle. Remember to turn the patterned towel over.

Roll the triangle towel into strips. Start rolling from the longest side of the triangle and roll gently to the other vertex. Roll tightly or loosely as you like. The width of the scarf band is the width of the headband. When scrolling, roll loops of equal width all the way to the end.

If you roll tight, you will have a real headband. At that time, you no longer recognize the handkerchief, instead it is a colorful headband.
If you roll loosely, the band will be wide. At that point, you still recognize it as a towel.

Wrap the handkerchief headband around your head. The top of the triangle scarf will initially be in the middle of the forehead and on the inside. Loop the ends of the band to the back of your neck.

If the top of the original triangle is on the outside, then it won’t fold. Just turn the towel strip upside down.

Secure the two ends of the scarf band with a double knot. Be sure to tighten enough so that the band won’t slip off.

Shape your hair. You can tie your hair up in a ponytail or let your hair down. Another option is to leave a few curls outside the headband and loose around your face.

A little hairspray will help hold the handkerchief in place.
If you have nice and smooth hair, you can use a few hair pins to secure the handkerchief to your hair. Fasten the pin near the knot so it won’t come out.

Fold the Headband in a Fold-Fold Style

Spread the handkerchief into a rhombus. One vertex of the rhombus is facing you. Lay a patterned or colorful towel underneath.

Start folding from the corner of the handkerchief in front of you. Fold the corner of the scarf up a length equal to the width of the handkerchief you want. For example, if you want a 5cm wide handkerchief, fold the corner of the handkerchief 5cm up.

Continue folding. Start with the part of the towel you just folded, and continue to fold it all the way up. When folding, try to make the folds equal in width.

Wrap the handkerchief headband around your head. Place the folded towel strip over your forehead or top of your head.

Secure the two ends of the scarf band with a double knot. Be sure to tighten enough so that the band won’t slip off.

Shape your hair the way you want.

Advice

You can add an elastic headband under the handkerchief so it doesn’t slip from your hair.
If you want the loose curls to stay inside the headband when you wear it, loop the center of the headband to the back of your neck, the knot will be below the chin. Tie the ends of the headband, turn the center of the headband forward, and pull it up over your face.
You can rotate the headband so that the two knots are at the top of the head instead of at the neck in the classic Rosie the Riveter fashion.
