Keep Warm with Short Hair This Winter

We women need some help in keeping warm during the winter.  This article goes out to my short hair sisters!  As a short hair girl myself, here are several great ways to keep warm, despite the lack of locks, during the frigid winter months.  When snuggling isn’t an option, here’s the next best ways to keep warm!

Keep Warm With Short Hair This Winter Tip #1: Wear a Scarf. It’s incredible how having a scarf around your neck keeps you warm with the temperature drops!  Gals, don’t leave home without a scarf!

Keep Warm With Short Hair This Winter Tip #2: Wear a Hat.  The most heat escapes from our head, so keeping a hat on will trap in the heat and help you keep warm during the winter months.  Plus, how fashionable are hats!  I used to think that hats never looked good on me, but I’d been trying on the wrong hats.  The next time you pass a hat store, meander in and try them on!  You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

How to Tie a Scarf Belt by Clothed Much

After posting the Belts for Fall blog, I happened upon another excellent idea for a belt that deserved its own post!  Elaine over at Clothed Much uses scarf belts in her daily accessorizing and providing this excellent tutorial on her blog about how to tie a scarf belt.  Take it away, Elaine!

I’ve received some requests on how I tie my scarves. Here’s a visual tutorial to get you started!
Note: If your scarf-belt doesn’t look like mine, you’re probably doing it wrong… Just kidding :D

step one

modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Lay the scarf as wide as you can against your stomach.

step two

modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Wrap it around your cute little body….TIGHT. Or else it will be loose for step three.

step three
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Make a knot.

step four a
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Make another knot.

step five a
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Tuck the remaining ends as flat as you can under the top-most layer of the scarf….not the one closest to your body. End result.

step four b
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Or….after the first knot, tuck the ends of the scarf following the direction of the knot.

step five b
modest lds fashion blog clothed much
Tucky-tuck. Again, make sure you make it as flat as you can when you’re tucking.

Now you’re a scarf-belt master.
