Last summer I really got more into wearing a hair scarf. Being able to just sweep your hair up fast and still look put together was really important to me, especially as we spent five days on a sailboat in Croatia with limited space. It was also pretty hot, so wearing my hair up was a priority. After a few failed experiments, I found 4 easy hair scarf styles for summer that really work. And the best part (aside from looking pretty cute) is that they take one minute or less to do!

I used two different hair scarves for these styles. The first hair scarf is your standard square bandana and the second is a long silky scarf I’ve had for many years. I just wanted to show that any scarf will work for your hair. Make sure to have a hair tie on hand, too. This set is my favorite ouch-less brand.

Easy Hair Scarf Style No. 1 – Hair down with headband scarf

The trick to making this easier is to start with your hair in a low ponytail. I prefer a center part but you can do a side part with this style, too. See more of this style in this blog post!

1. Start by pulling hair into a low ponytail. 
2. Take your long scarf (or square scarf folded into a half triangle and then rolled) and lay it on top of your head where you would wear a headband. Bring ends behind your head and under the ponytail and make a bow.
3. Slide the bow from under the ponytail to the side of your head. You should be able to see the bow peeking out from behind your ear.
4. Release your ponytail and shake out your hair.

Easy Hair Scarf Style No. 2 – Low ponytail with tied scarf

This style feels like cheating. It’s just a basic ponytail with a scarf accessory, but it always looks chic.

1. Pull hair into a low ponytail (or go mid to high, any of which will work).
2. Take your bandana scarf and fold it into a half triangle then roll it.
3. Tie your bandana around your hairband and secure with a double knot.
4. Leave the bandana ends to hang with your hair.

Easy Hair Scarf Style No. 3 – Topknot with wrapped scarf

This style is great for keeping cool during the summer.

1. Pull hair up into a high top knot.
2. Bring your scarf from the back under the topknot to the front and tie it once to secure. 
3. Bring your scarf ends behind your topknot and cross the ends so that they wrap the topknot. Do this lightly to build some volume in your style. Bring the ends back to the front and tie them again. You can leave the ends loose or tuck them into your topknot.

Easy Hair Scarf Style No. 4 – Top knot with headwrap scarf

I love this style for a little more of a boho look.

1. Pull hair up into a high top knot.
2. Wrap your scarf around the back of your head and bring ends forward. Tie the ends once and then cross them and bring them back around your head.
3. Tie the ends again behind your head and tuck them into the wrap you’ve made.
4. Fluff out your topknot and pull any loose pieces of hair out around your face.
