How do i put on Head/Hair Bands that can be tied up?

I bought this black head band(which is soo in right now Nicole Richie n like almost all of the celebrities wear it) where you have to tie these two strings at the back of your head.

How can i tie these two strings up without looking like a complete idiot and without looking like a ninja?

Because if i tie it up and i let my hair down, my hair rests on the knot which makes it look all bulging...

Do i tie it how i tie my shoe? lol

My mum was thinking of cutting the two strings off. Is that a good idea?

If not, how should i wear it?

I struggled with these headbands at first too! What I have found that works is just tying the two ribbons in a double knot (no bow -- just overlap and pull tight and repeat). Let the ends hang either down your back (behind your hair, its ok if the ends peek out) or you can let them dangle down the side of your neck. It should look great! Hope this helps you!

oh. i know what you're talking about.

noo. don't cut the two strings off.

wait are you talking about those

headscarves or headbands with strings?

well, i wouldn't cut it. if you don't want the lump then

you can bobbypin the strings (:

OR. can rest your hair in the back,

but tie it next to your ear like a bow, it'll look cute also :]]
