From all the summer hairstyles of 2025, the hair bandana is definitely the most popular. Whether you’re into evoking a countryside girl with a vintage cottagecore hair vibe or channeling a preppy, old-money rich woman energy, there’s a way to style a trendy bandana beautifully for summer.
So, little disclosure before jumping into the post: I’ve been trying to keep this blog immersive and natural and to keep the roots of blogging, which started as a conversational tone between friends, especially in a world where generic AI content is taking over. Most of all, I aim to create original content.
That being said, instead of curating already existing hairstyles from Instagram, I use AI images that I make to bring to life my own original vision and concepts, and I also curate the most aesthetic products to add extra value.
So, here we go! A comprehensive list of various aesthetic hairstyles with bandanas for every mood.
Bandanas for Cottagecore mood
This is likely the most traditional way we visualize a bandana: a simple girl from the countryside, evoking vintage simplicity and easy living with a cotton or linen bandana or scarf wrapped around her head. In modern days, you can style them to evoke this simplicity vibe and also add some style.

Bandanas for Baddie Summer Hairstyle
The baddie aesthetic is for the woman who likes to show she’s a badass and unapologetically sensual and self-assured in her style. There are many subcategories to the baddie aesthetic, and a stylish bandana fits well with some of them.

Bandanas for Gipsy Baddie Aesthetic
I came up with this concept imagining a sort of pirate aesthetic (yes, I’m obsessed with female pirates) for the modern woman, and I absolutely adore it. The white palette and cozy white outfit, matching the bandana, create a mix of baddie, badass girl energy with cool, carefree vibes. And still, there’s something calm and slow about it—because yes, a woman can be all of that at the same time.
