Hair loss during cancer treatment is common. Many cancer patients prefer to wear scarfs and hats. Here Rhona Weir, lead hairdresser, gives a step-by-step guide to headscarf tying.
Step 1 - Use a large square scarf.
Step 2 - Place on a flat surface and fold in half into a triangle
Step 3 - Then fold, from the longest length of the scarf, 3 or 4 times
Step 4 - Place the folded length of the scarf to the front of your head leaving the 3 loose ends at the back
Step 5 - Pull tight on the two outer loose ends leaving the middle bit to hang down.
Step 6 - Pull tight and tie into a double knot.
Step 7 - Start to twist the two longer ends around the top of the scarf and tuck into the fold you made at the front.
There are many ways to tie your scarf to suit you and your style and comfort. We offer one-to-one sessions or group classes for headscarf tying.
