If it is a square, put it tight across your forehead, then pull it down tight behind your ears. Pin it under your chin. Now, there is a lot of loose fabric. Evenly pull some forward over each ear until you can bring two graceful folds foward to your jaw line. Pin them together snugly under your chin.
If it is a long rectangle, and soft, take one end and anchor it behind one ear (just a little below). Keeping it very snug, bring it up just over your forehead (obscuring the hairline, but just), bring it around behind the other ear and under the chin. Now, circle again, but this time just in front of the ears. The friction of fabric on fabric should hold it in place, but you can always pin it.
Since both of these are acceptable for Hajj, they should be fine (a Moslem Pakistani student showed me how).
