Hair Accessories Comeback as True Fashion Accessory

It seems that hair accessories, which have long been shamefully ignored by luxury fashion accessory designers, have been making a long overdue (in my opinion) comeback.  Now if you’re thinking I’m referring to the thick padded satin or velvet headbands that you once used to hide a very ugly hair day or those abominable things called ‘scrunchies’, that you made sure you destroyed all evidence that you ever owned any, then you are very wrong indeed

What is most appealing about the hair accessory ‘comeback’ is that they have made a ‘comeback’ as a true fashion accessory that can take a worthy place next to any designer bag, shoes or jewellery for that matter.  Over the last few fashion seasons we have seen the emergence of hair adornments and hair pieces on runways, not as an added afterthought, but as a respectable part of the outfits and entirety of the show.  Headbands and headpieces are now being created with true designer flair and workmanship, in styles and using materials that would previously have been hard to imagine. 

Take headbands for instance:

Designs

Headbands are now being designed in all sizes ranging from super slim to extra wide, in all designs ranging from the traditional hard headband to the soft headband, the headband scarf, the Head Wrap etc.

Sizes

In addition to the change in styles and designs we have seen a change in the way hair accessories such as headbands are worn.  Headbands are now worn as part of the hairstyle, where the headband slips into the hairstyle and features as a part of the hairstyle you are wearing rather than as a way of pulling hair back off the face or concealing a bad hairstyle.  Headbands or head wraps are also being worn on top of the hair in a ‘hippy’ style.  This look can range from a true ‘hippy’ look using leather straps and ties to a highly glamorous bijoux hippy look using decorative crystal adorned or metallic wraps.

Hair Styles

What’s also incredibly inspiring about hair accessories such as headbands/head wraps etc is that now, unlike previously, women are incorporating hair accessories such as headbands in their hair styles no matter what length or style their hair is – headbands can be worn on all hair lengths ranging from short hair to long hair and added to up-dos as well.  Even women sporting serious rock chic short hairstyles look great with a contrasting stylish headband.

Hair Raiser $3.99 Not just your average South Florida beachcomber, Marla's now a volunteer for Ocean Guard, a coastal preservation group. She's even in charge of their upcoming Taste of the World fundraiser. But when chef Pierre Chevalier's flaming Bananas Foster results in a three-alarm fire, she can't help wondering: too much rum in the recipe--or sabotage? Something is beginning to smell fishy in sunny Palm Haven, and it isn't just the polluted shoreline. But even Marla is stunned when Ocean Guard's attorney, Benjamin Kline, is murdered. Not that she was crazy about the guy--in fact, nobody was. The victim had his share of enemies, though Marla's old friend, the irritatingly appealing Detective Dalton Vail, is convinced the culprit was one of Ocean Guard's esteemed board members. Now he's counting on Marla to untangle the clues. The suspects couldn't be more varied--or less likely--from likable businesswoman Babs Winrow to quiet, respectable banker Darren Shapiro. Even Digby Raines, the smarmy mayoral candidate himself, and creepy funeral director Stefano Barletti are on the ever-growing list. One of them snipped Ben Kline's life short, and Marla's determined to get to the root of a case that's anything but cut and dried. And with her own brush with death serving as a blunt reminder that a killer's still on the loose, Marla realizes that if she isn't careful, the next thing to wash up on the sand might not be mere medical waste... With her sassy style and flair for local color, Nancy J. Cohen has created another sleek page-turner that will leave readers eagerly awaiting their next appointment with the pert and plucky Marla.
