5 Ways to Brighten Your Look With Colourful Hair Accessories
With Zoom a part of our daily lives, hair accessories have become a more important fashion accessory than they have ever been. When you can only express your personality through a small box on a screen, it becomes more appealing to find something you can do with your hair to make you feel brighter and happier and let you share your personality. Here are 5 hair accessories that can help you add some joy and colour to your look.
1. Wear a Wide Headband
In 2019, Prada sent models down the runway wearing headbands. They were large and well-padded, and since then, wide headbands have been a fashion go-to for anyone and everyone. They are an excellent option for taming your hair no matter what sort of day you’re having.
You can get some amazing headbands in all sorts of different patterns, so you can find the perfect one to compliment your look.
The other great thing about opting for a wide headband is that they are really versatile. You can wear them over your forehead to keep your hair right off your face. You can also set them a little further back so that you can leave your fringe out if you wish. You can even repurpose them to use as scrunchies if you want a bright look but need your hair a little more contained.
2. Large Bows
If you want to add a splash of colour and whimsy to your hair, then there is nothing better than a large bow. There are so many ways you can use these to style your hair, and they are really on-trend at the moment. If you just want something quick and easy, plenty of scrunchies come with large, perfectly tied bows that you don’t have to tie yourself. Of course, if you like a challenge, you can use some thick ribbon to craft your own bow. They work in pretty much any position. They offer a great way to bring a large splash of colour to your look.
3. Letter/Word Hair Clips
I know when you picture hair clips, you most likely think of young girls rather than professional women. However, there is a strong trend towards sleek and stylish hair clips that provide some grown-up drama to your hair accessory game. Gucci, for instance, has a wide selection of ‘Gucci’ hair clips. If you want something a little more personal, then there is also a trend towards turtle shell initial hair clips. There is nothing to say that you can’t use more than one hair slide at a time. In fact, layering them up and crossing them over is pretty popular as well.
4. Butterfly Clips
Multiple hair clips at a time are currently on-trend for hair accessories. So if you’re looking for a way to bring lots of colour to your hair, then butterfly clips are a great option. You can easily and quickly dot them around your hair to add little pops of colour and brightness to your hair. If you’re in the mood, then a set of neon butterfly clips is a great way to brighten up your hair and your day.
5. Oversize Scrunchies
Oversize everything is in when it comes to hair accessories. Scrunchies are an easy go-to option for adding some colour without having to spend ages clipping and styling. You can just grab a large colourful scrunchie and loosely tie your hair up. With an oversize scrunchie, even an untidy ponytail can look like a fashion statement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are headbands on-trend?
Headbands have been a top trending fashion accessory for quite some time now. With so many different patterns to choose from, they provide not only a way to keep your hair under control, but they also let your personality shine. Which is something that can feel even more important if you’re wearing a face mask while you’re out and about.
Can hair accessories damage your hair?
Any hair accessories improperly used can cause damage to your hair. You want to avoid any accessories with tight elastic as these can tug on your hair, causing it to break. It’s also a good idea to avoid wearing any accessories that pull your hair tightly into a style. This sort of tugging on your hair’s roots can lead to hair loss.
Is putting wet hair in a ponytail a bad idea?
If you can, it’s best to avoid tying your hair up while it’s still wet. Wet hair is much more elastic than dry hair. This means that if you put your hair into a neat ponytail while it’s wet, then it will become tighter as your hair dries. This increased tension on your hair can cause damage.
If you need to tie your hair up while it’s wet, it’s best to put it into a loose ponytail and use a wide scrunchie to do so.
