Step 1: It all comes down to how you plan on tying your hair (up or down). If you want, you can put your hair into a low bun or let it hang, but be gentle with the tying process, you don’t want it to tangle your strands.
Step 2: Put the neck scarf down at the nape of your neck, then fold your scarf on the diagonal to create a triangle.
