Bandana on face

In ancient times, the Soviet Union was directly embraced by the idea of ​​not only social equality. The companion of almost every conscious woman was a bright red communist kerchief covering her head. Since then, quite a lot of time has passed. And the classic Soviet kerchiefs with new forces and breaths rush into the most famous fashion tracks of the world. Only the name now they have a foreign - bandanas. Yes, and with a variety of colors contemporaries lucky much more.

The first bandanas were used for mercenary purposes: they were covered by the face, neck and head of the Spanish shepherds, Indian workers, American gangsters. Today, a headdress with different prints, logos and colors serves as an indisputable argument in the fashionable wardrobe for women.

A female headband, twisted into a bundle, can be an excellent and more gentle substitute for the classic headband, which isolates the fringe or hair from the face. A bandana, tied like a hat, perfectly protects the head from the summer heat. And if it is also made of dense waterproof material, then the autumn rain will be uneasy.

Special attention deserve bandanas in the form of a pipe, which do not need to tie. Their form, which speaks for itself, allows them to be used as a kerchief and mask for the face.

Having tied this fashionable scarf around your neck or wrist, you can save a little on jewelery, if you approach this issue with special care and creativity. About how the most common types of bandanas are called, will be discussed below.

Types of fashion scarves directly depend on three points:

• the shape of the source material;
• purpose of use;
• bandage method.

In the first variant there are only three sub-clauses: triangle, square and rectangle. The most versatile in use is a square, which is very easily transformed into a triangular piece of fabric, a rectangular strip, a harness, and so on. The simplest is the first subparagraph, but its main disadvantage is mainly in the smallest number of options for use. A rectangle is a somewhat complicated and not always convenient form for bandanas.

Speaking about the purposes of using modern scarves, one can single out several varieties of them, based precisely on this parameter:

1. On the head. The most classic way. It is a cotton or knit Panama in the summer heat, hats in the winter severe frosts and fashionable bandages for any time of the year. Special sports bandanas are also often used, which remove all excess hair from the face and also absorb all the moisture coming from the athlete's head so that sweat does not fall into the eyes during active exercise.
2. On the neck. What can be simpler: tie a bandana as a scarf, collar or protective bandage from snow or sun. Winter scarves are the most popular among young people, who, like western cowboys in the distant past, wear a collar around their necks so that they can be easily transformed into a bandage on their faces.
3. On the face.

Here it is important to highlight several use cases:

• extreme. This type of bandanas includes skiing and snowboarding face bands. They protect the face of the athlete not only from frost, but also from the snow flying out from under the inventory.Recently, the most popular original snowboard bandanas with aggressive prints with jaws, fangs or just funny facial expressions;

• sick leave Some creative personalities are so keen on honing their own originality that even standard medical masks are replaced with original bandanas;
• anti-wind. Scarves with characteristic prints will appeal to romantics from the high road (well, not to the robbers, of course): to cyclists, motorcyclists and extremists bikers.

In modern fashion, the military style in the details appears very clearly: accessories, color accents, prints and other details. Not surprisingly, the main popular colors of modern bandanas are black and camouflage. Variations, of course, are present.

For example, in the nature of a fashion accessory can be found:

• plain colored kerchiefs;
• khaki and everything close to him;
• Oriental motifs with a characteristic "color";
• informal prints: skulls, webs, rock band logos.

Particularly romantic and creative women of fashion have come up with a number of additions to traditional bandanas, which makes them completely unformatted. Some needlewomen decorate their kerchiefs with lace, charms, beads, rhinestones, buttons - in a word, every little thing that, in their opinion, defines their character and temperament quite brightly and precisely.

Despite the simplicity of the materials and the use of this accessory, the cost of it, yet sometimes reaches decent heights.

Summer sports headbands, on average in Russia, pull in 1200-1300 rubles in economy online stores. Bandanas and transformer scarves in the winter range are slightly different in price. For example, for a knitted pipe can be laid out from 1300 rubles. A fleece scarf will cost the buyer no more than 1,200 rubles.

There is also the category of universal bandanas: windproof, all-season, reflective. The price for such a multifunctional thing varies between: 1,200 rubles for children's models, 1,600 - for adults.

The price range is not so wide, but it can make the thrifty buyer think about the feasibility of this fashion accessory. In defense, I would like to note the extraordinary practicality of bandanas that help their owners in the most unexpected and unforeseen situations. Even taking into account the severity and coldness of the Russian winters, I want to wrap up as deeply as possible into the warm fabrics of wind-proof and warming dressings on the face.

In order to make an individual fashionable kerchief, you need to know the basic parameters that this accessory has:

1. Form: a piece of cloth should have a square shape, which is more convenient and easier to work with in the future.
2. Area: each side of the fabric geometric shape should be 60-70 cm long (at your discretion and depending on the volume of the head).
3. Fabric: you are free to choose any material that will be pleasant in terms of tactile sensations, will please the eye with its color and pattern (or its absence), will protect from certain weather conditions. Classic bandanas are made of thick fabric. For example, cotton is a very durable and non-deformable basis for a fashionable and practical accessory. Natural silk, which repels the sun's rays and bestows upon its innate chill, of course, if the color is not black.

So, the main parameters are studied, proceed to manufacture.

To begin with, you need to cut the correct square, pre-drawing it on the selected piece of fabric. The next step is processing the trimmed edges of the bandana. Just wrap inside a strip of fabric with a width of no more than 1 cm and sew it by hand, or on a sewing machine. The most enjoyable stage is the moment of decoration of the resulting accessory.As described earlier, you can add any small parts and even decorate yourself with felt-tip pens or batik (special dye for fabric). And the last step - testing your unique bandanas.

How else can this multifunctional accessory get tested? Of course, by donning it with a variety of methods. We will determine the most common ways of tying today.

Bandana on the head as a kerchief. How to tie a square flap of fabric on the head so that it looks stylish? Very simple. To do this, it is necessary to fold an equilateral material diagonally, thereby forming a triangle. Fold bandanas applied to the forehead above the eyebrows, the two extreme corners tied at the back.

It should be remembered that the very fixation of such a scarf should not be too tight. This method of tying protects the neck from wind, sun and even frost.
