Last week, I wrote about Amy Winehouse and how she wears the scarf as a headband. Here are other ways you can wear it on your head, as seen on these hot celebrities:

As a headband with a pony or with your hair down; Let the ends hang loose along with your hair.

For this you will need a longer but thinner (narrower, about 6 to 12 inches) scarf.

Blake Lively as Serena Van Der Woodsen

Lacey Chabert

As a good ol’ bandanna tied around and over the head and forehead. If you want the ends to hang loose, get a long scarf. Otherwise, you can stick with the square bandanna scarf.

Nicole Richie

Beyonce Knowles

As a scarf bun as seen on JLo. Simply put the scarf over your head, twist it along with your hair (like you’re creating a bun), than tuck the ends under.

For this one, use a wider scarf (about 18 inches wide) with some stretch in it.

Jennifer Lopez

Lucille Ball style. This one is very similar to the way Amy Winehouse wore it, except that the scarf is not twisted and the hair is up.

Kylie Minogue

For long scarves, you can try these:

Missoni Zigzag Scarf, on sale for US$161; Ashley Ashoff Pop Champagne Scarf, US$225; Missoni Striped Scarf, on sale for US$139; 

If you want JLo’s scarf bun look, you can try these stretchable jersey scarves:

How Amy Winehouse Wears the Scarf

You want to know how Amy Winehouse wears the scarf? Here’s how:

The Beehive Queen and singing sensation was spotted club hopping in London last July 6 looking like that. Although she looked like she was high on drugs, I have to admit that using the scarf as a headband was kind of cute.

To wear the scarf this way, you’ll need a smaller piece like a bandanna; a square one that’s about 22 to 24 inches. Fold it diagonally then roll it, after which you tie it around your head. Let the tips act as the bow, just like what Amy did.

Here’s a great deal from Overstock that you can buy:
