I have 
And they are great.
Because there is political mileage to be gotten from portraying Muslims as oppressors of women. Same as the propaganda campaigns generated when the old Biblical laws of Moses, i.e., “an eye for an eye” have been enforced in some Muslim societies.
Hooray! I’m getting pretty scarves!
WhyNot: I am not expert either, but I do have very long hair. I guess a bun is the answer, though ironically having a real bun there interferes with wrapping the scarf into a bun. Maybe, if doing a wrap that obscures the top of the head (the “crown”, maybe), braid hair and wrap it over top of head, pin securely. The really big metal hairpins from thevermontcountrystore.com are my best friend.
I’m Reform and unmarried anyway, so I don’t cover my hair, but I’ve spent a lot of time around frum women and think head coverings are quite attractive. I wear shawls occasionally and like to wear them as veils sometimes. I have gotten the most bizarre reactions when I do this. My office manager ordered me to remove it because it “wasn’t P.C.” (?!?!) I have no idea what this means, but if she wanted to hear some really un-P.C. stuff, she should have hung around my desk when moronic coworker after moronic coworker made comments on my veil.
When I do it in Chicago (I work in the suburbs) no one blinks an eye.
When my hair is shorter than it is now, I sometimes wear a scarf, folded in a triangle and tied, to keep my hair out of my face. While it’s not at all for religious reasons, I’ve been asked to remove it before, then the person has stopped asked, “wait, is that for religous reasons?” Like I said, I do it for convience. Plus you can still see my hair. I don’t like hats much, as I have a big head. I do do the scarf over the head and ears in the could thing, too.
I was going to ask what WhyNot did. My hair is to my mid-back, and I’m not sure if I would have to tie my hair first. Perhaps putting it only in a low ponytail (near the nape of the neck) first?
I’ve done different things when I’ve had long hair- gathered into a low ponytail, worked into the “bun” scarf tie, etc. When you want to work it in, tie the scarve ends underneath your hair, and when you fold the tail under the tied part, collect the hair into it. Then when fully tied your hair is contained in the bun part.
I’m not sure how clear this is…
I just want to know who has the audacity to ask you to remove your head scarf. Do they think it equates to a hat on a man’s head?
Oh, it’s clear. Just requires more manual dexterity or practice than I currently have, I guess. Thanks!
Maybe try putting your hair in a ponytail, but not pulling it all the way through the last time–you end up with a loop that’s half the length of your real hair… therefore twice as manageable?
I like the way scarves and so on look, and I’d like to do it, but every time I try I get really hot within minutes. Maybe because I’ve covered my ears too? Anyway, I don’t seem to be able to pull it off. Oh well. 
I’ve never worn a scarf (except for once when I visited a mosque) however, those in the links look beautiful. I think I’ll give it a try - how big do the scarves need to be and what’s the best material?
About a year ago I got a terrible, terrible haircut. Fortunately, I had a box of my mother’s old scarves, so I started wearing them every day. It was very strange to me at first, but I experimented with long vs. short and colors, and eventually I found styles that I thought complimented me.
Now my hair is much better, but I still wear the scarves because they make me feel pretty and because they’ve become part of my self-style. My workplace did not have a problem with it, but a few people do feel the need to tell me I look like a hippy, peasant, or that “you’d look so much better with your hair down!” I don’t let them bother me, though.
I think the name of the game is to experiment until you find styles you like - there are so many patterns and colors, it’s really quite fun to explore all the options!
My wife does. Usually wears a sheitel when she will be out amongst non-Jews or on formal occasions. They’re expensive, but they’re a one-time expense that lasts.
She has snoods for less public or lazier times.
