Nice! I'm a diesel mechanic and I've been looking for an easy way to cover up my hair while I'm at work, and this looks perfect. I've been growing my hair longer, and it's getting long enough to get caught under the wheels of my creeper, which is painful and dirty lol

I remember wearing a turban headscarf in a Ryvita factory in the 1970s. It looked quite attractive and I used to wash mine in hot water so the garish yellow cotton faded to a pretty pale shade.Pity the factory workers now who have to wear those ugly nets. This morning I made a scarf with fabric 30" x 30" and remembered how to tie it. So handy for some deep cleaning in the kitchen!! This is a nice easy to watch and listen video, well done Retro Chick.

During the war, if you wore a turban, fur coat and slacks you were considered rather common!!!! Often turbans were worn over curlers in the daytime, then the hair could be combed out in the evening into a nice page-boy bob. I never wore one though.

[@TheDaryl54]

Well done! And what a beautiful smile you showed at the end. 😊

[@RETROGEMS]

How cute! I've been wanting to try this 40's style--my *favorite* era for fashion. Thanks for this!

[@JulieWallis1963]

Love it, I've taken to wearing a headscarf when doing housework, who'd have thought the Hilda Ogden look would be so popular?

[@natl7700]

This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for - the instructions were simple and clear, and I love the result! Thanks so much for posting 😊❤

[@tashlentine]

this is such an easy to follow tutorial thanks! I've got a wedding tomorrow and want to do a wet set, but also have a play rehearsal tonight. now i don't have to worry about rocking up looking like a hedgehog with a head full of curl clips LOL

[@TheDaryl54]

I love the expressions you used! You must be from "across the pond". ❤

[@Robin-zw7th]

This was the best, most concise video tutorial for something simple and cute. Thank you so much.

[@nicolejunkin3662]

I've always loved the 40's look. I just dressed up as Rosie the Riveter for Halloween. I struggled to make the scarf work. I was using fabric that was too big, but it worked. At the end of the night, I loved how it had made my very curly, short hair look. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

[@emilythrasher5245]

Thank you for the simple straightforward tutorial. The American ones seem to have to include a lot of talking about themselves and taking too much time to get to the point. I appreciate your help. Thank you. 🙃✌️😈

[@PowderPuffCowgirl]

Your tutorial is the best one i've ever watched! Thanks doll, I can finally wear headscarves every.single.day ;)

[@PMF2022]

Lovely! Thanks for this vid. I saw some of my friends at Uni wore this last week and I’ve been wanting to try the same style ever since!

[@denisewall41]

What is the size of the scarf? Love the 40's style.

[@mastersadvocate]

Lovely! I like the way you can tuck your hair out of the way! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe! ~Janet in Canada

[@puppetmaster3911]

I think I found my new fav headscarf tutorial. Some other headscarf ones end up sticking out too much for my personal taste. I think this one is one of the better looking ones. Thanks!

[@hanninhahfp]

Love it! Simple, quick, and cute! Great tutorial

[@greerlovesgovert]

Finally! Thanks you so much for demonstrating this technique, so simple it wasn't obvious, to me at least. I was beginning to think one needed an engineering degree. You look so lovely!

[@ruthranieri9268]

I love the look, hope it comes back.

[@craftyfoxy1151]

wow! I've just started getting into the 1940s style and this is very help! thanks!

[@katejones969]

What are the best dimensions for a scarf? I have 2 square silk scarves, 1 doesn’t cut it length-wise ( maybe i have a massive head since ppl these days are so much bigger), the other scarf is very thin & hand painted, like tissue paper & has a rip... so what is the ideal size & silk type for this exercise?

[@helent5114]

Brilliant! Nice and simple, easy to understand

[@andreacazoul2628]

Thank you so much for your video ! I've always been obsessed with this kind of hairstyle and I recently started watching Land Girls on Netflix and I've grown even more obsessed ! I'm ready to try it tomorrow now ! Thank you again !

[@Dianeelvers]

Thanks for the video. I saved it sometime ago. And came back to watch it.

[@rachelmitchell2144]

This is simple and clear! Thanks so much!!

[@pradeepatil68]

Very nice ,width & Length of fabric required??

[@vintagekitten15]

Love this.one of the best scarf tutorials.I always have trouble but this helped me alot.

[@Inky1967]

You’re right! She’s quite simply states and shows the steps. No blabbering on and on about one hundred things that make no difference. Bing, bang, boom. done.

[@redwoodrebelgirl3010]

What size, or dimensions of scarves are best, please? Thank you. ❤️

[@carriebishop8568]

I enjoyed this. Thanks for all the tips too..

[@rosaspanjol673]

Cute and simple😘👍!….love it👍

[@LizHellsing]

I don't know if there is something wrong with the back of my head, but it does not stay there whatsoever.

[@dorcaspowellpowell5971]

Thanks ....I love that you call bobby pins grips ...very simple thanks.

[@isabellap9278]

Love the 40's soo much gonna try it soon

[@taman3580]

Thank you! Love your headscarf

[@timalmas4871]

I'm on a huge time crunch to get my question answered so it would be great if I had an answer back today. What is the size of scarf that you used in this video? Your tutorial is the best one I've seen. Don't want to sound rude but it's part of a birthday gift in two days time! Thanks very much

[@catherineneil5191]

Genius I have been looking for this style!!!!!!

[@rbesnu85]

Just the vid i needed!! Need to cover my brightly coloured hair for work & a function.

[@DanceOrDie96]

Thankyou! Wondered how to do this for ages!

[@likkleginger]

Twisting the little floppy bit at the front = genius. My little floppy bit sometimes falls out (oo err) and makes the scarf untidy.I will be sure to twist next time!

[@deborahhemsworth414]

Hi, great tutorial just what I am looking for. can you please tell me what size is the headscarf you are using. Thanks x

[@nikkirevasmrplus5313]

You look like youre from 1940 legit even with out the scarf or makeup. Very clasic looking.😘

[@birdslikestickyspoon]

Great video! Thankyou!

[@Kattyroo]

I love this! Did they used to have a name for that style?

[@cattjohnson1114]

If you have a smaller scarf you can use the same technique just tuck the back corner up so you don't have a scarf mullet

[@littlegir123]

Thank you so much! I actually tried to do this to keep my hair from messing up at night so the curls will stay

[@KatiePortmanPoutingInHeels]

Big help! Thank you so much. Cracked it on the first go.

[@ItsVannah]

thnx, I have my hair braided in a beehive for wigs and I didn't wrap my hair last night, because I couldn't find me large silk scarf, and I woke up to a MESS so I needed to make do with a bandana, and if u fold it in half but make one corner meet about a 3rd in, then u can do this same wrap perfectly

[@PoppyTaterman]

I don't know if my scarf is not big enough or what, but for the life of my I cannot bring up the sides to tie it and still have enough scarf to comfortably sit around my head. The whole scarf seems to come up!

[@cherokeedancer8448]

Love this

[@cloudberry27]

Fabulous, thank you.

[@margarettuck1566]

Hi, saw a photo of Clementine Churchill wearing this style of head covering. She was indicating solidarity with the working women of UK during the Second World War.... and was popular for that and many other reasons. Think I have to copy it.

[@TeamRonMione133]

Just what I was looking for! How big should the scarf be?

[@carolinanocilla6979]

Thank you It Is beautifull

[@franlooving4203]

Nice explaining. Thank you.

[@rajnirvan3336]

Actually looks cute

[@WohaliWaya]

[@crinklesasmr1221]

How lovely! You're very pleasant :)

[@MiaLens]

How does it not slide off when you move your head?? Also, I really like the way you talk!

[@Yrathus]

Bobby pins !

[@graleh]

Thanks, great tutorial! How big scarf do you have? I think the ones I have are too small o_0

[@sippinwithnanavalorie]

Thank you very much

[@AVintageLibrarian]

[@TheSublimeFactor]

[@tygriscalcutta729]

Anyone know how to tie up your hair so it's inside the scarf?

[@lunalight6732]

Thanks

[@leslie7813]

Love it

[@Scarlett2209]

Thank you!

[@264aub]

THANK YOU!!’

[@nimtch]

What size scarf did you use? Or what are the dimensions of it?

[@RetrochickCoUk]

+Emily Timberlake most of my scarves are at least 22" along a side, not sure about this one exactly!

[@almatoledo1608]

Beautiful¡!

[@jessicaenglish205]

I can't see all of what she doing in the beginning of the video. Needs a bigger angle. Otherwise, great video! Beautiful scarf as well.

[@susiemcd4249]

cute - thanks!

[@nihssab1423]

😍😍😍 Thank u!!

[@hookedlymesinker5984]

What size scarf did you use in the video?

[@LoonyLoovegood]

How big should the scarf be?

[@roxitice6741]

what size scarf is that?

[@RetrochickCoUk]

Roxi Tice I can't find that exact scarf to measure now, but most of my scarves are about 22" along a side.

[@hollywoodchase]

Do you know a website that offers cute scarves?

[@rayskitten78]

use ur mouth as ur 3rd hand to hold the middle point still

[@jordancagle1745]

I've tried this so many times and it never turns out this way. I've no idea what I'm doing wrong. 😩

[@RetrochickCoUk]

+Oh Crumpets what problems are you having? Maybe I can give some tips?

[@RetrochickCoUk]

+Oh Crumpets is the scarf the right size? How does it look different?

[@kcaviatrix]

I have the same issue! I purchased a truckload of scarves, different shapes, materials and sizes. I cannot figure out why it slips out. I have very fine hair. I wonder if this has anything to do with my issues.

[@jordancagle1745]

Kiki Cherry See, I have long, incredibly thick hair.

[@jordancagle1745]

Retro Chick I just saw this, I'm sorry! The scarf seems to be the same size. There are just weird bits sticking out in places.

[@rayskitten78]

if you wear a net under it the scarf slips less

[@rosrychaplet]

go girl guides go girl scouts!

[@sweetvonbettie1]

is how i do it

[@rosebud20]

My mom can put hers on In 2minutes !

[@gemfyre855]

Every time I tie the knot it just slips right off my head. :/

[@RetrochickCoUk]

+Belinda Jayne if you pin it at the back and sides it will help keep the scarf in place while you tie it. It might be that the scarf is too small, or you are trying to tie it too far back, it's best to tie it low over your forehead, you can adjust it back once it's tied.

[@leahmadden7425]

Thank you so much

[@SarahMontana666]

Thank you!
