- Knot – Take a shorter scarf and wrap it around your head from under your hair to the top, or from back to front and tie the ends in a knot on the top of your head or the front of your forehead.
- Headscarf – This looks best on short hairstyles. Simply tie a short scarf or fabric around your head as if it were a headband.
Headbands are one of the most popular Hair Accessories
If you have short hair then a variety of headbands are a must. It’s an easy way to add glamour to your hairstyles for every occasion. Although you want to make a statement with your headband, huge bows or thick headbands can be too intense for short hair.
Depending on the length of your hair should determine the size of the headband you choose. If you have shorter hair such as a pixie try to keep your head bands less than 2 inches wide because wide bands can be overpowering for your short hair. If you have a bob or shag style then you can go thicker but keep still keep it simple.

If they are too big they look tacky and can fall out, but if they look ‘too cute’ they can come off as childish. The best way to avoid that is to bright colors and princess-themed barrettes.
Try to keep it simple, with gorgeous colors such as turquois, or yellows. Of course color depends on your hair color and outfit. Don’t be afraid of vintage bows or flowers, just make sure they look age appropriate. If you are going to a formal occasion then try styling your short hair with gems or jeweled barrettes.
