Method 1 of 2: Part 1: Wearing a bandana around your head

1. Wear your bandana as a hair band. You can wear the points of the bandana on top in a bow, or you can hide them in your neck.
   • Lay the bandana flat on the table so that it lies in a diamond shape. Fold the bottom corner of the diamond to the top corner so that you get a large triangle.
   • Take the top corner of the triangle and fold it down so that it touches the base of the triangle. Fold this in half lengthwise and repeat until the bandana forms a band of approx. 4 cm.
   • Hold the band tightly and tie the bandana around your head. Secure the ends by tying a bow or knot. Turn the knot to where you want it.
2. Wear your bandana like Bret Michaels. This bandana style keeps your hair in shape and can be worn on its own, or under a hat, just ask Bret Michaels (the singer of glam rock band Poison).
   • Fold your bandana in the shape of a triangle.
   • Bend your head forward and place the center of the base of the triangle on the center of your forehead.
   • Take the two ends and wrap them around your head and fasten them at the back with a simple double knot.
   • Fold the bandana up and pull the tip of the triangle under the knot.

Method 2 of 2: Part 2: Wear a bandana around your neck, wrist or thigh

1. Try a crook bandana. If you combine it with a simple T-shirt or denim waistcoat, this bandana gives a cool, colorful twist to your outfit.
   • Place your bandana on the table so that it forms a diamond. Fold it in half into a triangle.
   • With the point down, now grab the two corners and tie them around your neck. Make a simple double knot and turn the bandana so that it fits how you want.
2. Try a bandana around your thigh. While you shouldn't be afraid to stand out with this style, a thigh bandana with ripped jeans can be a fun, cool accessory.
   • Make a triangle by folding the bandana in half. Fold the tip of the triangle towards the base.
   • Fold it in half lengthwise and repeat until the bandana measures approx. 4 to 7 cm wide.
   • Tie the bandana around your thigh about 3 inches above your knee. Make a double knot and tuck the ends under the band.
