Choose material like cotton or other natural fibers that breathe because a headband can trap heat and make your head sweat. There are also many different patterns and designs you can choose from for your bandana.

If your bandana has a lot of wrinkles, you can iron them out with a clothes iron.

Be sure the pattern is arranged so that it’s visible when you fold the bandana.

For a wider headband, make a wider strip. Roll the bandana rather than fold it to form a rounded headband.

You can also use hair gel, but make sure the gel dries clear and only apply it to the side of the headband that will be against your hair and skin. If you don’t want to use hair product, you can also use a hairpin on each side of the bandana to secure it to your hair.

You can center the bandana on the crown of your head as well.

You can also center the bandana on the base of the back of your head and bring the two ends around to the front of your head, above your forehead.

If you centered the bandana on the base of the back of your head, tie your knot on the upper part of your forehead, making sure it’s secure before you tie it into a double-knot.
