[MUSIC CHARITY VANCE, "TWO BIRDS"]
-
-Hey, guys.
-
It's Mindy, from Cute Girls Hairstyles,
-
and today I'm going to show you five way to style a bandana.
-
So to begin with, I'm going to show you
-
how to fold a bandana if you're going to put it in your hair.
-
So I have here a nicely freshly pressed bandana.
-
And I'm going to take it and fold it
-
from one corner to the other, but it's not
-
going to quite be even.
-
There's going to be just a little bit off.
-
You can see, it doesn't go quite directly corner to corner.
-
Now, it creates a triangle.
-
Now, I'm going to take those two points
-
and bring them up to the other edge, lay them flat.
-
Now, at this point you have two options.
-
You could fold it in thirds if you want a little bit thicker
-
headband, thicker bandana, like this.
-
Or you fold it in half, which is what I prefer,
-
because it just sits better on my head.
-
So I'm going to fold it in half and then in half again.
-
So you can see that it just gives us a little bit thinner
-
bandana, which I just like the way it sits better, but totally
-
up to you.
-
Once you have your bandana folded,
-
we're going to go ahead and show you the first hairstyle.
-
So my first style is going to show you
-
how to tie and bandana in your hair if you bangs.
-
So to begin with, I have separated off
-
sections of my bangs on either side of my face,
-
and I'm going to leave those forward.
-
Push the rest the of my hair back, kind of out of the way.
-
And we want this to be a really fun playful tousled look,
-
so don't worry if it's not perfect.
-
Now we're going to take the folded edges of the bandana
-
and we're going to have them pointing upward.
-
We're going to wrap it around that,
-
make sure you get all your hair, this--
-
and then take the bandana up over the tops of your ears,
-
and tie it in a knot.
-
So we're going to tie it once, and then tie it again.
-
And I flip my ends halfway through the second tie,
-
and that usually gives me these perfect little bunny
-
ears on top, which I love.
-
Now you want to make sure that this fits right
-
on top of your ears, then you're just going to take your hair,
-
fluff it forward and up, adding a little volume in the back.
-
And that is style number one.
-
So for style number two, we're going to leave the bandana in,
-
just like we did before, but we're just
-
going to take our hair and sweep it over to one side.
-
Make sure you get any little loose layers
-
like I have, kind of pull it over.
-
And we're going to take an elastic, just
-
a really hidden, small elastic, and secure your hair
-
at the nape of your neck in just a very, very soft pony tail.
-
And if you have little layers that pop out at the bottom
-
like I do, you can just use a bobby pin
-
to tuck them in and secure them.
-
No problem.
-
And that is style number two.
-
So for style number three, we're going
-
to take the elastic out and set it down for now.
-
And I'm going to go back to the back part of my hair
-
and just give it a little tiny twist.
-
Now I'm only twisting just because I
-
want those layers to stay in this time.
-
So I'm just going give them a little bit of a twist.
-
You can see, I just twisted it right there.
-
And now I'm around this side, I'm
-
going to divide it into three sections
-
and just do a really simple loose braid.
-
But the fact that I gave it a little twist in back's
-
just going help hold all those crazy layers in my hair
-
into the braid a little bit better
-
than if I were going to use a bobby pin.
-
Then I'm going to take that same elastic and secure the ends.
-
And then just go back and loosen.
-
Remember, we want it to be soft and very girly and feminine, so
-
nothing too tight and severe.
-
And we are done.
-
That's number three.
-
For style number four, I took everything out
-
that we've done before and I still have the bandana folding
-
up towards the sky around my neck.
-
This time, I'm going take my hair
-
and I'm going to part it a little bit deeper
-
and I'm going to flip some more of my hair over to one side,
-
and then kind of back.
-
Because I want it sitting back so
-
it makes a little bit of a bump right there.
-
Now I'm going to take the bandana
-
and I'm going to tie it right on the backside of that bump.
-
So it gives me a little tiny lift in the front right there.
-
And again, I'm just going to tie my bandana the same way
-
I did before so that I have the cute little rabbit ears.
-
But this time, the only difference
-
is I almost have a Rosie the Riveter like little
-
like curl right there in front, but it's not really a curl
-
because it's just a little bump, but it looks adorable.
-
And then, of course, volume and fluff the back any way
-
you like, until your placement is perfect and you are done,
-
number four.
-
Now style number five is the easiest one yet.
-
So we're going to leave it the way we had it with style number
-
four, but for those of you that don't love these little rabbit
-
ends like this, this is what you do.
-
You just simply take it, lift that back edge
-
and tuck it underneath right there.
-
Take this one, and you can do it in front
-
or back, lift that edge, tuck, tuck, tuck.
-
And then instead of like popping out bow ends,
-
you just have this cute little headband look.
-
And then, you're finished.
-
And that is style number five.
-
-Wait, Mom, wait.
-
-Oh.
-
-Wait.
-
There's another one you can do with this bandana.
-
-Oh, OK.
-
-It's a bow.
-
You just take the ends and tuck them into the knot.
-
Watch.
-
There's one.
-
And--
-
-So you're tucking the ends of the headband into the know?
-
-Mhm.
-
You just have to use your fingers and tuck them in.
-
There you go.
-
-Oh, and I have a bow, a cute little Minnie Mouse bow.
-
And I guess that's style number six.
-
So I would really love to see what
-
you guys do with the bandana.
-
Make sure and hashtag CHG Bandana Styles.
-
We'll be looking at your pictures all week
-
and then re-Instagramming some of our very favorites,
-
and show me how you've styled it too.
-
I think the bandana is so fun.
-
So for me today, you can see that I
-
picked just a cute little baseball tee with Minnie
-
and Mickey, my favorite Minnie style.
-
And I put on some red Converse sneakers, and then, of course,
-
the red lips.
-
And my girls tell me I look like I'm 13, so I don't know.
-
I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing,
-
but it is sure a fun style.
-
Let's put it that way.
-
So be sure to follow us on Instagram.
-
Make sure you and tag your photos of your great bandana
-
styles.
-
And we will see you guys next Sunday.
-
Bye, guys.

-It's walking, like, by me.
-
-Don't move.
-
We need another stick.
-
-Don't make it spray me, please.
-
-Calm down--
-
-Dad, it's right-- oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
-
It's right-- its butt's towards me.
-
No, I don't want to smell like skunk.
