Place the bonnet on your head with the front edge aligned to your hairline
Center it so both sides sit evenly
Bring the ties under your chin or to the back, depending on the bonnet style
Cross the ties if needed to secure the fit
Pull the ties snug, but not too tight
Tie a secure knot or bow
Tuck in any loose fabric around your ears and nape
Adjust the bonnet so it feels comfortable and stays in place
