So, I tried to adapt the Hana style, but what I ended up with was more like an adaptation of a little Photorial on this awesome website, Hijab Scarf. I'm not really sure if it's "okay" to steal the photos from her tutorial, so I've put the link to her post here. Please load this page to refer to my notes below:
Since my scarf was a pashmina, and quite wide, I didn't tie it in the back. I just brought the left side to the right, and the right side to the left behind my head. That was enough to hold it in place.
Next I took the short end, folded in the fringe, and brought it back over the top of my head to add volume. You would need a pretty wide scarf to accomplish this, because otherwise you would see the edge in the back. The scarf I'm wearing is 27" so that wasn't a problem. It tucked in neatly when I brought the scarf around my neck.
I brought the long end around in the same fashion as the tutorial, but instead of pinning it on the right shoulder as she has done, I brought the scarf around the front a second time, and pinned it on the left shoulder. I did this partly because I had a lot of scarf left (it's reaaaallly long) and partly to get more coverage in the front. Then I used a hijab stick pin as decoration.
The advantage of this style is first, that it takes all the weight off the head and puts it on the neck. This is a great change of pace if you have a heavy or large scarf. It would work equally well with a light viscose or chiffon scarf, and would be very comfortable in hot weather. The other good thing about it is that it only needs 2 pins. I actually used 3 pins because I used a safety pin on the shoulder after I tucked in the end, because I knew otherwise it was going to slip loose. But basically all you need is to pin the sides below your ears, and it holds up all day!
