Fun Hair Accessories :)

Hey everyone it's been a while, I hope all is well,
today I wanted to blog about Hair Accessories as a protective style choice!!!


Hair accessories come in lots of different shapes, color and sizes. Many are great for not only securing, but protecting our hair as well.
Hair accessories can protect hair by placing it in to a protective style like ponytails,buns,
french rolls etc. this helps to keep your hair off of your clothing.
you can get frizziness and breakage at the ends of your hair, if your hair is constantly brushing up against rough materials of clothing, like sweater and jackets.


Jaw Clips...


Jaw clips are used as an alternative to a hair ties, they help women with longer hair out a lot! they help to keep all that hair out of the way.
jaw clips come in a range of sizes, colors and styles


you can also get really small "mini jaw clips." which are cute on little girls.


How to Style: Brush hair back into a ponytail and grasp with hand, twist hair and lift upwards and secure with jaw clip along the length of the twist.


Jaw clips come in a range of sizes, so you're likely to find one suitable for your hair's length. Closer spaced teeth mean they're more suitable for finer hair types. "Mini jaw clips" are a great way of separating pieces of hair.


Jaw clips work best for casual occasions- when you've got your jeans on and you're heading down to the mall or something.


Combs/French Combs:

These are the little plastic combs that you insert into your hair to lock it into place.
they mainly come in the same size.


These combs are simple to use, the thing to remember is that you need to put them in backwards and upside down, and this is so that when you flip them over they lock your hair tight in place. After you flip the comb and wedge it into your hair, the teeth need to be facing toward the front of your head.

Tips: It's easy to get a softer look by pushing the comb forward a bit and creating more fluffiness around the face.


Suitable Hairstyles Combs are great for styling medium and long hair. They're a good way of creating updos, These combs are good for creating French twists as well.
So if you want an updo for a formal occasion, these are definitely a great option.


Scarves and Head Wraps:

Generally these accessories include any kind of material that's wrapped or tied around the head. The main difference between these accessories is fabric, width, length and how many times it's wrapped around the head.
Tips: Scarves are worn as a style in their own right, but they're also good for preserving your hairstyle while you travel, satin scarves are the best thing to put on your head at night!!
just remember not to tie them too tight, because you can get a headache lol. Scarves and head wraps work with any length hair!



Bobby Pins:

Bobby pins are thin metal, curved at one end and open at the other.
these pins come in a bunch of different sizes and colors, and they also range from plain to jewellery encrusted, Pins are great for securing buns and more formal styles like chignons.

Tips: Pins that match your hair color are a great way to create invisible hold, but if you want a sparkle, try pins with a little decoration.
you can create beautiful buns and chignons by pinning the hair, these styles are lovely for special occasions, updos show off your neck, shoulders and cheekbones.

A- keys is looking lovely in this braided updo!







Headbands:

Nicole Ritchie is rocking a scarf headband.


Beyonce is rocking a sporty headband.

Headbands are accessories that sit around the head, but unlike scarves you don't wrap them around your head.
Headbands are always in fashion, and that's because there's a huge range to choose from.
they come in scarf styles, sporty, ultra skinny, thick,combed, twist and snap!

Tips: Make sure you get the right size headband for your head,
because if it's too small it will hurt!
Headbands work with any hair, long, short,wavy, straight or curly
any hair style will look nice with a headband attached.




Hair Sticks:

Hair sticks are another accessory that you can use to help secure your hair.
it involves gathering, twisting or rolling the hair. They can also be worn purely for adornment.

Hair sticks often come in pairs, and are sometimes plain like chopsticks, they can also be very ornate and made from top quality materials like silver. a lot of times the ends are very decorative, almost like dangling ornaments lol. They come in many different lengths and sizes.

I remember wearing these back in high school they were the in thing!!
I had them in so many different styles and colors,
i don't see as many people wearing them anymore, but they are a great protective style.


5-minute hair stick up do


1. Get your hair in a low pony tail and twist it as if you were styling a chignon.

2. Once you have a nice twist going, pierce it from the top with one of the chopsticks.
Try to go for the thickest part of the chignon.


3. Turn the chopstick 180'' or until you can't any more; chopstick should point upwards. The twist should get really tight at this point, so ignore the feeling of discomfort - it's totally worth it!


4.Now the toughest bit: turn the chopstick towards your head and down, piercing again through the chignon.

5. Now simply take the second chopstick and use it to pierce the bun, like in the bottom pictures.



like omg banana clips are soooo 80's

lol they are also a wonderful protective style.

A banana clip is the curved hair accessory that opens and is fastened at one end. It's typically used as an alternative to hair binders.
Banana clips, come in a range of sizes, styles and colors.

Banana clips can easily be used for securing the hair in a ponytail.
They're also good for French twists... all you need to do is twist and tuck the hair and insert the clip on both ends.

Remember if you have long/ thick hair you will need to buy a thicker/stronger banana clip Banana clips work best on medium to long hairstyles they can be used on any hair textures.

so what's your favorite hair accessory???????
peace!!
