Step 1: After combing your hair with the correct brush, start styling your hair. Remember to create a high tied-up look so that your headscarf will protect your hair from the heat.
 
Step 2: After creating your top-knot or high ponytail, take a scarf of your choice and fold into a bandana shape. Keep your headscarf fairly thick, so that it covers your roots and the hair tie in your style.
 
Step 3: Place your headscarf so that the centre of the scarf touches the centre section of your head. Next, tie the ends at the nape of the neck. Rather than tying in the centre, try knotting yours to one side so that the lengths flow gracefully down the nape of your neck.
 
Step 4: Spray all over evenly with hairspray to give your style a long-lasting hold. And there you have it…the dolce vita look for protected summer hair.
