Hot New Hair Accessories

Hair Accessories
It’s no secret that headbands and barrettes are your best friends on those awkward days when you’re trying to grow out the blunt bangs you got on a whim, after catching Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer on cable.
These helpful accessories should also be your go-to hairstyle helpers on mornings when you’re in a rush and don’t have time to wash your hair. They can be placed strategically to hide cowlicks and greasy front pieces, and also add a touch of sophistication and sparkle to an everyday hairdo.
Think only Blair Waldorf wears headbands?
Hair accessories of bows and black lace are indeed popular this fall, but you can also find edgier options that feature black leather, zippers, studs and other hardware.
The trick is also in how you wear them.
When sporting a headband, leave your front pieces out to avoid the full prepster look. You can also opt for a headwrap (a headband that goes all the way around your head) and wear it on top of your hair in the back as well as the front.
Barrettes allow for more styling options; wear your bangs and front piece in a teased poof and the rest of your hair in a pony for a modified fauxhawk. Or snap a bejeweled barrette into your updo for insta-glam.
