Head Gear
For those of you who also cringe when you see the words ‘head gear,’ I understand your pain. I had to wear a metal contraption for quite some time, and it thoroughly elongated my 7-year awkward streak. Luckily, this post is about hair accessories, and not traumatic teeth straightening systems. If you also have trouble dedicating a substantial amount of energy every morning to fussing with your hair, here are some of my favorite solutions for when too much time has elapsed between washes.
Day 1: Slightly Slick
Since any unfavorable hair issues should be pretty minimal at this point, this Feather Hair Comb is an ideal option. By gathering just a small section of hair, this will instantly create an ethereal, Bohemian style.
Day 2: Grease Monkey
This substantial Knotted Silk Headband, from Anthropologie, provides adequate coverage in a beautiful blend of sunset-inspired colors. The intertwining silk will be sure to distract from any other hair issues with which you may be dealing.
Day 3 (or 4 or 5): Dirty Harry
To avoid any potential confusion regarding the formation of dreadlocks, it’s always best to keep your hair pulled back after several days of no washing. Jennifer Ouellette’s Floral Pony Holder has a gemstone floral ornament, which ensures you won’t look like you’re on your way to gym, and instead will look sleek and fashionable.

You know I moved into our place about two months ago…but I like never really feeling settled…keep buying new (well, new to me) stuff and cycling it in and out of rooms and such…keeps me inspired!

ooo la la I live for little clips, snaps, and ties for hair. hehe I can imagine the last one above will show up on a girl hitting the gym and making my simple hair tie want to hide. lol
I love the feather hair comb, it’s gorgeous!
What an awesome post <3
Darn you! I totally can’t justify an Anthro headband right now…can I? I wonder if I could make a quick trip there after work.
Eeks! I know you love Development and just wanted to let you know they are having a sample sale today, until 5 in the Cooper building, 4th floor. Know it’s late notice, but I thought I would mention it!
I have a low maintenance routine with my hair. I wear it in a ponytail on a daily basis, but I change it up if I have somewhere special to go. These are all great ideas to make a simple hairstyle a little more interesting. I love the feather haircomb!
ive been getting into hair acessories a lot lately as well – perhaps Blair from gossip girls has inspired that…
These are fun ideas! I love love lovee the headband
I think the only one I can pull off is the grease monkey variety.
Fantastic!
I always need something cool for my hair, but i never have…heheh
a kiss,
great post!
nice feather hair comb!
okay all of those are adorable. i think i’d go with the feather business, just because it looks awesome.
I am in love with your last pick, dear. You have such an exquisite taste. I would so have you as my stylist any time! (If I was a celebrity, that is *lol*)
Ooooh, I love theses. They might do well for growing out bangs. If I were to do that.
Oooh feathers – love the first one!
I just bought this – http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp;jsessionid=896A474DDBE0256530F0DF43F95E30E6.app12-node1?itemdescription=true&itemCount=10&id=14375919&parentid=W_ACC_HAIRACCESSORIES&sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=28&navAction=poppushpush&color=30 – and I can’t wait to try to be brave enough to wear it.
