A friend brought me back this beautiful scarf that is supposed to be used as a head wrap from her vacation. 

I dont know how to use it though.  How do you tie these things on, there has to be a trick to it because when I try it, it just slides off the top of my head.

I've never used one myself, but I have seen some really pretty scarfs that would do the job great.  Check out thesedirections and see if you can do it yourself with what she gave you.

Maestro Please

I just tie my hair up in a low ponytail and wrap the scarf around the crown of my head.  If you are worried about the scarf coming loose, use bobby pins to attach it to your head.

Maybe your friend knows how to use it as a head wrap.

Can it also just be used as a scarf? Try it around your neck and see how it looks.
