{"product_id":"silk-hair-scarf-floral-dot-print","title":"Silk Hair Scarf with Floral and Dot Prints","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis silk hair scarf, the Helen from ClaudiaG, is a long, narrow strip of silk, 53 by 5.25 inches, that does as much for a ponytail as it does for a neckline. There are two prints. Brown Flowers sets caramel blooms on black with a cream edge. Ochre is a patchwork of four panels: ochre with dots, brown with dots, navy with tiny flowers and cream with line-drawn florals, all inside a black border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWraps then bows.\u003c\/strong\u003e The length covers a ponytail wrap and still leaves enough silk to finish with a proper bow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKinder to hair.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth silk has less friction than an elastic or a cotton band, so it tugs less as it comes out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatchwork changes face.\u003c\/strong\u003e On the Ochre print, each knot shows a different panel, so the same scarf looks new each time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSilk Scarf for Hair Styles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA silk scarf for hair works three ways at this width. As a headband, fold it in half lengthwise and tie it at the nape under the hair, leaving the tails to hang. As a ponytail wrap, tie it over a plain elastic, wind it down the ponytail and knot the ends in a bow. As a braid ribbon, start it at the top of a braid and weave one tail through each section, which puts flashes of print through the whole plait. \u003cstrong\u003eTie the silk over an elastic, never instead of it, and the style stays up all day.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Silk Suits a Hair Accessory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk is a smooth protein fiber, so it slides over the hair shaft instead of gripping it. That is why sleep caps and pillowcases are made from it, and why a silk tie leaves fewer kinks than a tight band. The same smoothness means a lone knot can loosen, so double the knot or tuck the tails into the wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrown Flowers or Ochre Patchwork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown Flowers is the easier print to wear every day: black reads as a neutral, and the caramel flowers pick up brown leather, gold jewelry and camel knits. Ochre is the bolder pick, and \u003cstrong\u003eits four panels mean it can match navy, brown, cream and mustard in the same outfit\u003c\/strong\u003e. Against dark hair the cream and ochre panels stand out most; against blond hair the navy and black parts show the print best. ClaudiaG's care line is short: hand wash in cold water, no bleach, and lay it flat to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHelen Hair Scarf Styling Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a silk hair scarf slip out of fine hair?\u003c\/strong\u003e On fine, slippery hair, put a small elastic in first and tie the scarf over it, or pin the knot with two bobby pins crossed in an X. The silk then sits on the elastic instead of on the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCould this double as a neck scarf?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The same 53 inches loops once around the neck with long tails, or ties into a small bow at the collar of a blouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich print hides a bad hair day best?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ochre patchwork, because the busy panels draw the eye to the scarf. Wrap it wide as a headband over the hairline and the rest of the style matters much less.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClaudiaG","offers":[{"title":"Brown Flowers","offer_id":67639416029485,"sku":"SC1003.1","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ochre","offer_id":67639416324397,"sku":"SC1003.2","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/claudiag-silk-hair-scarf-floral-dot-print-1.jpg?v=1791916539","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/silk-hair-scarf-floral-dot-print","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
