More great tutorials

YouTube is full of videos (of course!) and a lot of them are about tutorials teaching viewers how to do things, and among them there are some fashion tips including headscarf wearing. We have already seen some here.

And here is a new one by Lilly Jarlsson.


Lilly is a freelance writer with a passion for vintage fashion and make-up. In this video she demonstrates:

A front-tied headscarf...

A turban-like wrap...

A Peasant tie...

... And a Classic headscarf, which she advises to tie to the side...

... Like this. She's also seen wearing a Kelly wrap, however she's not shown tying it on.


Lilly's advice is not entirely new, having first been suggested in a tutorial (that I know) by Candice "Superkawaiimama" DeVille.

Julie Bloom's tutorial also suggested that way of tying a Classic in lieu of the usual knot under the chin.


Lilly calls this style "younger and edgier". It certainly suits young actress Dreama Walker (from Gossip Girl) well.


This picture is from the Summer 2012 edition of Bullett magazine.

While it's a pity we don't see Lilly tying on a Kelly, fear not because there's another tutorial here with a lady demonstrating five different styles including a Kelly and a Gypsy wrap. 


There are more tutorials out there waiting to be discovered. I'm always keeping an eye out, but drop me a line if you see something interesting!

Two great tutorials

Browsing around on YouTube I happened upon a couple of great headscarf-related tutorials I would like to share…

The first one is by Julie Bloom, beauty and fashion editor and blogger, who in this video teaches how to tie three headscarf and two headband styles, inspired by Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez’s look.


This is the first headscarf style she demonstrates. Notice that in the video she calls it the “Grace Kelly style”, even though it’s what we would call an off-center Classic or Traditional style. It’s all right, however, because there is absolutely no official nomenclature. I like the fact that although she had the scarf slip from her hair on her first attempt, she didn’t edit it out. All ladies who have ever tied a headscarf know this happens, especially with silk.

The second one she calls the “Hollywood style”, which is what we would call a “Grace Kelly” or “Audrey Hepburn” style. Again, there are no official names for those styles.

The last one is commonly known as a “low bun wrap” and is a modern and trendy style

This is the style popularized by Jennifer Lopez in numerous occasions…

… Although other celebrities like Stana Katic have worn it to great effect.

The second video tutorial is by Lilith Moon, model and blogger. Her tutorials are centered around hair styles and care.

In her video Lilith demonstrates 3 headscarf styles, one neck scarf style and a lot of stylish headbands.
The first headscarf she demonstrates is what she calls a “modern turban bow”. It’s an elegant take on the front-tied wrap.

The second one is meant to be another version to the turban bow, it looks like a rear tie or a side tie, but it’s tied with the same beautiful bow knot as the first one.

The third one is called an “exotic turban” and is another elegant take on the front-tied headscarf.

It’s amazing how much of a difference a simple knot and its position mean!

Apart from the headscarf tutorials, I can only recommend those blogs and YouTube channels to all ladies around here, who will undoubtedly find the style and fashion tips useful and interesting.
