At Who What Wear, we love switching up our hairstyle. Whether we're looking for wedding guest hairstyle inspo, or the best claw clip hairstyles to update our look, we're always up to the challenge of finding the chicest ones. Lately, we've been spotting fashion girls switching up their look with hair scarves – and they look so cool.
What makes hair scarves so great is that they are so versatile; there are so many ways to wear them. Whether they're wrapped around the base of a ponytail, weaved into a plait or simply tied around the head, they instantly update even the most basic of outfits, and make your look ten times more expensive. Did we mention they're great for distracting from greasy roots, too?
Below, we've rounded up some of the best hair scarves to add to your hair accessory wardrobe. From budget-friendly high street hair scarves to investment pieces (we all dream of Hermès' silk scarves, after all), let us inspire you to try out some of these hair scarf looks.
