Yes, you can wear hair accessories beyond your hopscotch days. We'll show you how to pull off these super trendy hairstyles without looking like your niece
Tie a ribbon at the end of a braid When you think ribbon, do you have a cheerleading flashback? Us, too. But this picture is proof that you can wear ribbons tastefully. Just make sure to use a ˝-inch floppy ribbon in a solid beige color. Dizon says you want to steer clear of stiff ribbon, which looks cheap. Also, "make sure the bow isn't too big, so that it doesn't look adolescent," she says. Using ribbon adds something playful to your hairstyle without going over the top. You can do a French braid like this one, or braid just the upper half of your hair, tying the ribbon at mid-length.
These are really cute hair ideas! I often wonder if I'm too old for big bows but they showed really classy, ladylike ways to wear cutesy styles, lovin it!
I really love the double head band look. I haven't been able to find good headbands that fit without them slipping out. There are some great ideas here I hadn't thought of for hair accessories!
I am glad to see ways to work long hair. Really would like to see the how to do's on some of the complicated hair accessories. Straight long hair which I don't use a curling iron or curlers anymore, and the pins tend to fall off or the hair moves around.
love hair accessories - I do have short hair - does anyone know why when I wear elastic head bands they ride up in the back - and where did hair ribbons go
Besides the bow, these accessories are boring to me. I say go all out. Don't wear pigtails with ribbons, but if it suits your overall style, hair accessories can be an everyday thing. They are for me!
I have long hair, longer than its been in years, largely because I havent decided how to get it done. It is straight and healthy but I simply have zero skill when it comes to styling which is why I usually have a bob, no need to use ant implements air dries straight. I would like to nderstand how to do some of these but usually cant acheive looks I see. The sock bun loks neat, I do braid but havent consifdered a bow seems juvenile but maybe if it was the right one and done halfway. Hmmm, interesting article.
You can wear anything at any age. Don't believe this "30" crap. Just make sure you have all the things you need for the look and don't wear like one wistful thing with a stained t shirt and mom jeans.
