While we Floridians may be able to get another few uses out of our winter hats, spring is around the corner and a lot of new hair accessories are on the map. Take spring’s runway looks to create your own practical, Florida-girl style. You do not have to pay $90 for designer headbands to be trendy, but you can spend a few of your hard-earned dollars on cheap replicas.
But please, put down the “As Seen On TV” accessories, including the Bumpit and EZ Combs (a weird butterfly clip), and check out the best looks for spring.
Bows or barrettes? Studs or sparkles? Feathers or flowers? Whatever your look incorporate any of these accessories into any hairstyle. Wavy, curly or straight—hair can always be accessorized and most clothing stores have plenty of hair accessories to choose from.
Airy neutrals and whites with pops of color are in style this season, so opt for bold colored barrettes seen at the Prada show, or feathers seen at Chanel.
Channel your inner Blair Waldorf and go for a few headbands. Bold headbands with feathers, rhinestones or a lot of embellishments are best for night looks. Stick to skinny headbands for a more subtle effect.
Stretchy headbands are really popular and have many uses. For a cute look, put your hair in a ponytail, twist it into a bun and secure with bobby pins and hairspray. Slip on the stretchy headband to make a simple bun into a dressy updo. Whatever the style, make sure the headband fits your outfit and the occasion.
For a dressy party look, try pinning one side of loose curls back with a sparkly barrette. A lot of runway outfits incorporated bold barrettes in day styles and in some cases, you can make it work for a night look, too.
Dark accessories look great on light hair, and use light accessories on dark hair to draw attention and make the whole style pop. For a subtle look, try dark headbands and barrettes on dark hair, and light headbands and barrettes on light hair. Use some sparkle to make any hair color stand out.
Hair accessories are very in right now and they can take any style from boring to glamorous in seconds. Hair can be your best accessory, so turn up the volume on your style and add some oomph.
