I wear scarves on and off as the mood strikes me and my hair doesn't go down either.I'm actually looking through my collection of old clothes. If they're made from nice fabric that I plan to cut them up and recycle them as scarves.
how did you do it! With a puff?

So I tried to do the scarf thing tonight but struggled. I'll try again another time. I threw that **** on the floor and KIM.

maybe you should pat your hair down? 
oke: None of my scarves look the same from day to day, even though I may do the exact same thing as before. So every time I tie a scarf, even though I demonstrated before what I did, I always get asked "So how did you do your scarf this time?" I think daring to be different can be fun.

@pookaloo83, why do you think it'd look funny The second image I posted of my scarf was done similarly to the vids Foxglove posted even though I'd never really watched a vid on it. And you can cover more of your hair so there's no mushroom effect...or if your hair is flopping over the scarf, pat it down.
When I do my scarves, I don't really look at anyone--which is why I always come up with something no one else is sporting or that doesn't really look like anyone's--and if it happens, it usually a coincidence. Sometimes it's better to not try to imitate another look or not to care if you don't get the exact effect you are trying to copy. You may find your way actually looks better than what you were trying to create but coz you're busy trying to perfect the other look, you end up giving up on something that was working. Seriously dare to be different. You may just set a new trend.
@Nonie I looked like a straight up mushroom head. This is an artists rendition of what I looked like. ETA all that to say, patting won't keep alladis down

Remember my Coolio do? Girl you work it, everyone buys it.
@pookaloo83, you pull off some very neat styles on your own, so trust your skills and rock what you come up with. For all you know, maybe those you're copying were actually trying to get the do you got...and are just as good as I am at fronting.
Ok Well I'm gonna try again! The thing is I think my scarf is too small Nonie. It's like it didn't cover all of my hair.
and then you can slowly pull it down exposing more of your hair and created a "gathered" effect till you're happy with the revealed shape.
@pookaloo83 Another thing you could try is to create a puff or mohawk using bobby pins and then tie the scarf. Or if you think that'll make the sides look too flat, you can first wrap a gathered scarf right under where the puff bulges out and then when you tie the scarf, it'll not look so flat against your head but will give the illusion of your hair being puffy under there.
Also you can start with having the scarf as open as possible and cover your head so you look kinda like Tintin
