A makeup and beauty guru was shocked to learn she’d been wearing beauty headbands incorrectly for years, and she’s one of many who had no idea how to tie it.

Towel headbands are a popular accessory to keep hair out of the face when applying skincare products and beauty fanatic Taylor Herrera wore it with the bow on top of her head.

However, one of her admirers informed her that the wired bun is not actually a fashion statement, but rather a hair tie designed to hold the hair back.

However, one of her fans surprised her by revealing that the wired bow is not actually a decoration, but rather a hair tie that should be at the nape of the neck to hold her hair back (pictured).

‘Did you know that this is not an arch? i totally thought about it [the bow went on top] so when you do your makeup you just have a cute little bow on top,” Taylor said on TikTok.

She had recorded a video of herself doing her makeup routine while wearing the headband and several people commented to tell her that she wasn’t wearing it right.

‘Your headband is super cute, did you know that the “bow” is also supposed to hold your hair back?’ said a woman.

“You’re wearing it wrong,” agreed another.

How to wear a beauty headband:

Put the headband on your head with the bow at the nape of the neck, then gather your hair inside the bow and use it as a hair bow.

After learning of her mistake, Taylor uploaded a tutorial showing her fans how to use the accessory.

Apparently, this is what you are supposed to do. The bow actually goes in the back, so there is no bow in the front,” he said.

‘Then you take your hair and [the sides of the bow] hold it in a ponytail.

“Tell me I’m not the only one who didn’t know, because this changes your life.”

‘I used to always put a scrunchie back there. I think it’s cuter with the bow, but this is great.

Taylor’s followers were just as shocked as she was to learn the truth.

‘I was years old today when I found out about that,’ said one woman.

‘I never knew! Thanks!’ another wrote.

However, the trick doesn’t work with all headbands, as some don’t have wire ties.

“Mine doesn’t have any metal in it, so it doesn’t hold my hair,” explained one woman.
