Dress your Hair with Beaded and Embellished Headbands

These days, every head-turning fashionista knows the power of an eye-catching hair accessory. Thanks to visionary designers, everything from oversized flowers to feathers and brooches can now add glamor to your overall look — only this time, it goes straight to your head. After brooches, headbands are now all the rage when it comes to hair adornment. A famous designer kicked off the trend by wearing her diamond necklace as a headband, but less costly versions abound in embellished styles with beads, sequins, and brooches.

To avoid the “matronly” look, hair should have volume and texture. We recommend using a thickening or volumizing product first before blowdrying, then backcombing the hair after using a fine-toothed comb to add more body. However, do not spray the hair to perfection, as the coiffed hairdo may look a tad too dated. Whatever you do, don’t mix it up with tons of other jewelry — a pair of earrings is more than enough.
