You are most likely here because washing your hair on the last day of the week has become frustratingly cumbersome. For the sake of convenience, we waited until the last possible moment that so happened to be the most inconvenient day ever. Maybe you had work? Maybe you had an interview, something that would make a clean scalp a priority. Yet you woke up too late, you're too tired, or maybe you’ve caught the flu. What's someone with luscious locks to do?
If you have frustratingly fussed over minimal detailed tutorials for slick back buns for people with already perfectly pin straight hair, then a statement piece accessory can easily hide an oily scalp without the need of extra products.
Consider this a playful guide to practically chic hair accessories that can easily make you look and feel your best, even if you run out of dry shampoo.
We will not just recommend fun places to get your most whimsically chic hair accessories, we will also teach you how to use them and why they work.
Hair Accessory Hero Number One: The Oversize Scrunchie
It is easy to pull back a slick back bun, with an imperfect bundle of hair when you have an oversize statement scrunchie. Indeed scrunchies are back stronger than any 90s trend. Now surpassing the most iconic hair styling trends from this century.
These can easily be just as sophisticated as they can be simply chic, giving that city girl look–as in too cool to wash your hair for a day out. But cool enough to put yourself together, from a day feeling broken apart.
Professional image architects and stylists across the beauty space say that if something is not interesting in silhouette, it shall be interesting in color, and if it's not interesting in color shall be interesting and texture. But why choose one if we could have all of it.
Consider an oversize warm toned velvet scrunchie, from shops like Enchanted Scrunchies, priced around $7.50 to $12.00. We want to highlight the Oversized Pink Peach Velvet Scrunchie with a velvet smooth finish that catches the sun with a glimmer, and is soft to the touch, leaving your hair without kinks. There is no shame, but a ruthlessly stubborn kink does not belong in hair especially when it's not in its peak performance.
Hair Accessory Hero Number Two: The French Twist Pin
The wishbone shaped pen originating in 18th century France has now lived a new extravagant life. Surviving the decades and quite never aging, the French twist pin is suddenly being reimbursed with a curly girl twist. It wasn't until the 1940’s and 50’s that the tightly worn structure of a pin was revived. Now the epitome of a healthy hair styling tool perfect for curly hair to avoid breakage ,clumps, or even tangles should be a staple in your accessory drawer.
If you have curly hair, this is the perfect tool as most French pins have been adapted for super curly hair, helping you escape tension from a traditional elastic band or Thai claw clip known to not play with fragile coiled curls. This technique is ideal for distributing the weight of a curly mane with ease and avoiding headaches. Embracing your hair means embracing a protective tool for your curl pattern.
We wish to highlight the brand MACHETE And their french hair pin in tortoise checker priced at $35, for a pop of an earthy tones–compatible for any hair color.
