For El Capitan

So I have been working with two main styles, the Headband and the Do-Rag.  They both start here:












The Do-Rag then gets folded anywhere between here



(Shorter tail over neck)








And here





(Longer tail over neck)






From there it is as simple as placing the folded corner to your forehead










And let the tail droop down and away to make it easier to tie without tangling the tail










One knot










Two knot










Cool













The Headband style just takes a couple more folds...










Try and keep it pretty symmetrical at this stage










Then double one side over










And again.  
Its in the above fold and this one where you really determine the width of the Headband, the more folds before getting here, the thinner it will be.










Then take the bottom-left portion and fold it over everything.  It is integral to the process you don't end up with a symmetrical fold on the last one.  The little lip folding over gives you stability and integrity (of shape) throughout a day's wear.










Lift it directly to your forehead so the lip is on the inside.










I generally lean over because I want as much of my hair to stand out in as many weird directions as I can coerce from it; hair gel helps.










One knot










Two knot










Cool!

Pirates can do dainty when they need to, but only really in front of other pirates (or pretty ladies)
