In the 80s, the hair accessory was invaluable. Almost every
style involved some sort of accessory or embellishment to really set it
off. Today, hair accessories not a part of everyday style and care should
be taken as to when and how to use them so that you will not look dated.
With that said, there are some occasions that scream for
accessories: Work, social occasions and formal events may all have you
searching for the perfect accessory to set off your look. While different
occasions will call for different hair accessories, a good rule of thumb
to follow is to choose the sedate accessory over one that could not go
unnoticed in a crowd of a few hundred or a few thousand
While choosing the right one can be tricky, there are a few pointers that
you can follow to help you pick the perfect hair accessories to complete
your look. Here are just a few:
· Work. In many work situations, you will likely have to
wear your hair up. No matter if your type of employment requires it or you
simply like to change your look now and then, wearing your hair up calls
for the right accessory to do the job. The number one rule to finding the
right embellishments for work is to avoid banana clips at all costs. I
mean, who still makes these things? Apparently they’re making money at it
or they wouldn’t still be producing these torture devices of the 80s.
Don’t further their cause: stop buying this accessory. The second rule is
to choose accessories that closely match your hair color or that blend
nicely with it. Matching a hair clip to your clothes is only cute when you
are 5-years-old. What you choose will depend largely on your length of
hair and how you like to wear your hair up. For French twists, choose hair
accessories that resemble over-sized hair clips. Simply twist and clip.
· Social and formal occasions. In social and formal
occasions you have a greater opportunity to express your artsy side
through accessories. Again choose sedate pieces over garish eye catchers.
Classy pieces can be perfect for social occasions, whereas a little sprig
of flowers or garnishment may be needed for formal occasions. Formal
occasions are the only time that is okay to match your accessory to your
clothing. But still, do not go overboard. What attracts the eye should be
the beauty of your hair, not too-busy additions to it. If in doubt about
what accessory or how much of it to include, opt for the simple solution:
use as little as possible.
The bottom line with hair accessories is that too much
of a good thing can confuse the eye and make your do look garish. Simple
hair accessories, on the other hand, can make a bold beauty statement that
makes your hair the talk of the office or party.
