Looking for a way to wear a forehead scarf in retro fashion? This woman is sporting a simple black silk scarf over the top of her head that comes down toward her eyes and it has the functional purpose of holding the hair away from the face and out of the eyes. Her blonde locks are full of casual messy curls that can be created with the use of a diffuser and curl enhancing products. The key is to scrunch with fingers while blow-drying. Her smock type shirt is inspired by 70s colors with bursts of yellow, orange, teal, and olive green. This certainly has the feel of the hippie flower child experience.
