Rise and Accessorize.

Creativity and Glamorous are two crucial things we all seek to achieve with our hair. Hair colour, hair cuts and expensive weaves are not the only way to achieve that. Washing, blow drying, curling (with the right products), and putting on a headband, and yes I said a HEADBAND can lead to a fresh and trendy look.

To achieve this fresh look, simple styling tips should be followed in order to get the maximum effect a hairband can have on your entire look.

• Wash out the all styling products, hair sprays and grease from your hair. This will leave your hair fresh, light and healthy. This also prepares your hair for styling with a flat or curling iron. Hair free of grease holds in styling better. This applies to all types of hair. Hydrating shampoos and conditioners are recommended.
• Make sure hair is clean and dry before styling. Depending on the brand of products you use you’ll need to apply a thermal spray or heat treatment to protect hair from heat, preferably while hair is still damp.

• Proceed to style with flat or curled iron. Note that a flat iron can also be used to make curls. See  http://www.misikko.com/how-to-use-a-flat-iron.html for tips. When hair is appropriately styled, then you’re ready to put in your head band/hair pin.
• Note that washing and styling hair is imperative in order to achieve the appropriate look. It leaves hair looking different, new and revived.

Possible looks to be achieved with headbands.

The sixties look. Celebrities like Paris Hilton, the Kardashians and Queen Latifa have been spotted with this look. Apparently, the sixties headbands are the new in thing.

Celebs in Headbands. Rihanna is known for rocking headbands. It would almost be sinful to talk about headbands without mentioning my favorite character on Gossip Girl, the Queen B herself, Blair. Headbands is an absolute necessity for this character.

More looks. Head bands qualified as the top ten fashion looks in 2010. A lot of designers incorporated hairbands and believe it or not, entire lines of headbands have been made.

Be sure that your headband colour is bold, that way, it pops out of your outfit. It’s also way more interesting if your hair band colour contrasts your outfit.

Hairpins can also do wonders to your hair. A simple hair pin on Parted hair, side bangs or a pony tail can make all the difference.  These accessories usually add a touch of spark to the hair.
