Head coverings offer women a stylish way to express themselves.
Women especially who have lost hair to cancer also find head coverings as a comfortable way cover-up.
In general, they are primarily accessorized as style options for various occasions, protection, comfort, and warmth.
There are certain days when you feel like wearing a head wrap or scarf that is soft and comfy, other days you choose to opt for something much dressy, or something to match your outfit.
All in all, your mood and style can go a long way in influencing the choice of your head covering.
So, to help you perfectly choose your head coverings, I present to you – head coverings 101!
Fabric options
In terms of fabric, soft and comfortable ones make a better option.
Cotton and velvet are one of the best materials you can opt for.
For turbans made with light materials, a little stretch in the material also helps to keep the headwear in place.
Silk headscarves can be somewhat difficult to tie and it could easily slip off on a bare scalp.
For many women, this is a big concern. However, lots of women have gorgeous silk scarves in their closet that they rock from time to time.
If you are choosing a silk headscarf, consider wearing a wig net, cotton sleeping cap, or a headband underneath to anchor the silk.
You can also wear any of these beneath your head covering to keep your hair in place or add volume to your head covering.
The Perfect Head Covering for any Occasion
From bandanas and scarves to turbans various types of head wraps, you have different options to choose from for any occasion.
However, bandanas are mostly worn for casual events – run errands, an informal visit or event.
You can accessorize your outfit with scarves, turbans, and head wraps to switch up your look for any occasion.
Enhance the shape of your face
Tie your head covering in a way that suits and enhances the shape of your face.
For instance, you can tie the wrap in a way that reduces or adds faux length to your face.
Create your own style
Choose headwear that matches your outfit.

Either way, figure out what colors, style, and fabrics work for you.

Going to buy 3 or 4 for my sister, having a hard time choosing! She loves tying scarves, I don’t have that talent… I have several turbans.
