For a few weeks now, an avalanche of photos and videos of pirate hairstyles has been pouring into social networks. At the same time, it is normal, spring has arrived and summer hairstyles are starting to show up. And then it took Sofia Richie, model and daughter of singer Lionel Richie, to post a photo of her wearing a bandana over her head so we could finally be sure: the pirate hairstyle is making a comeback. But what is it? You’ll see, it’s pretty simple.
The pirate hairstyle, a very simple trend
To adopt it, simply tie a silk or satin scarf over your hair, half covering your forehead – you know, like pirates do Pirates of the Caribbean For example !
The great thing is that this little piece of fabric gives you the opportunity to indulge yourself with your own look, with color combinations and material contrasts. Basically, it allows you to get creative by diverting attention when you’re having a bad hair day. And that’s still not bad.
The pirate hairstyle is not new
If the pirate hairstyle has been coming back in waves (do you have it?) for a few years, its origin doesn’t go back to yesterday. And for good reason! What we see in the movies is not entirely false: between the In the 17th and 18th centuries, the scarf was in fact worn by many sailors (banned or not) eager not to be embarrassed by the hair blowing in front of their eyes with the wind.
In the end, they had a bit of the same problems as us — with a few exceptions: on our side, it’s more the pebbles we navigate on… or the terrain of our 30m².
If pirates used it to keep a clear view of the ship and its direction, others used their bandana to protect themselves from sunstroke by wetting it. Well, this notion isn’t scientifically validated, but wearing the veil on the beach has become a common gesture! Mainly because it looks great and completes your beach look while wicking some sweat.
Some will even say it protects from the sun, but be warned: such a small piece of fabric won’t stop the heat from hitting your skull, believe our experience.
The pirate hairstyle, ideal for the beach
So if you want to let yourself be tempted by this cute summer accessory, do it in the city instead, it’s better. Or use an extra hat to protect yourself from the sun’s rays in the height of summer, okay?
