To use this cozy scarf-hood hybrid, simply put it on like a regular scarf. The hood part can be pulled up to keep your head warm when it's extra cold. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to hand wash it in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing it out; instead, gently squeeze out the excess water. Lay it flat to dry to maintain its shape. Keep it away from sharp objects to prevent any snags.
