Ever since I started wearing these scarves I've turned a lot of heads, people have to look again to actually see and realize: did she actually wear a scarf around her head? Some think it's odd, but I don't mind. I'll continue to wear these scarves, no matter what people think!"

Amanda

"I just love wearing this trend! It's so easy to wear, but it really lifts a look - it can make a rather boring look into something unique and special.

retro-print dress from a vintage store in Singapore,
and funkis clogs.

"I love the whole 70s hippie-gypsy vibe that I completely associate with headchains. I made this one myself, but I love it cause it adds subtle detail in a really relaxed, effortless way."

"I actually started wearing scarves pulled up in my hair a few years ago due to my job. I had to wear my hair pulled up & a uniform so wearing a scarf or a handkerchief rolled into some kind of head-piece was my way of keeping my individuality in a sea of black uniforms. I also tend to like the way this trend so effortlessly shakes up the look of any outfit or can be thrown on when running out the door when there's no time to do my hair."

"A head piece can totally change the look of your outfit. There are all kinds of variants, all for various occasions, or – in my case – what mood I'm in. I see it as the icing on the cake, if I want to 'bling' up a clean outfit without being over-glamorized, a metallic headband is always a winner!"

"I love headbands, they are the best option for those days when you just don't know what to do with your hair! You can pair them with straight hair, curls or an updo. It adds a twist to your outfit!"
