How to wear a headscarf without looking like a pirate

Actually that title is a little misleading, because I haven’t figured out how to wear one without looking like I’m welcoming people onto a ride at Disneyland. If you know the trick, let me in on it cause I don’t want to walk around looking like I’m going to break into a version of “Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate’s life for me!” at any second.

So why the headscarf? Well, it’s hot here and my hair is annoying me. It’s too short for a ponytail but I don’t like hair in my face so I keep looking for ways to keep it out of my eyes and off my neck. A normal person would talk about how it cuts down the amount of time they spend on their hair each morning, but since running my fingers through wet hair takes exactly 13 seconds, I’m not exactly looking for a time saving solution.

See, pirate scullery maid. All I need is a mop, a bucket, and some doubloons in my pocket. Unless you’re Josh and think I look like white Aunt Jemimah. :sigh: Either way, it’s a loser look for me.

But since I have always been a comfort before style kind of person, I may just have to keep this “Ahoy matey!” look while I continue to search YouTube for for “white girls with headscarves” videos. (yes, I did.)
