Am I the only one who would totally wear a crown and glitzy accessories on a random day? I don’t mean to a wedding or a formal event, but to make a statement especially on those days when I am feeling my hair. Sometimes being a little extra is good, especially if you are having an uninspiring hair day. For real though, who says I have to save the glitzy stuff for formal occasions?
I’ve come to an impasse with my hair and I figure I need to throw in some accessories. On a bid to give my hair time to recover from back to back bouts of postpartum shedding I haven’t been doing much to it. Ok, so that’s a cop-out, I really don’t do much unless it’s a special occasion.
But let’s face it, if we should be honest, hair care can be a bit humdrum when you keep doing the same things; wash day on Sundays, twist from Sunday to Tuesday, twist-out Wednesday to Friday, updo or bun on Saturday, start the cycle over. Even a bomb wig* or crochet can lose its wow factor because the novelty eventually rubs off.
When it comes to appearance, I don’t know any girl who doesn’t like to shake things up every once in a while. Accessories provide opportunities for us to stay poppin’. Here are some accessories to help you serve up some black girl magic while you’re Queenin’.
1. Punk women Chic Hairband Hair Comb Clip Wrap Cuff Pin Head Band Chains Tassel
A basic chain to polish your updo, worn at the front or the back looks great. It’s simple and adds a certain finesse to the whole look. I can see this being worn with the right business suit to a presentation. It could even make an appearance at a party.
2. Bohemian Diamond Pearl Hair Band Alice Band
This would look great against a halo braid or a high bun. I can even see it topping off a braid out or twist out. Date night perhaps?
3. 22” Crystal Strand Clips
These I would save for a party. Did someone say clubbin’?
4. Gold Leaf Crown
I see this in a picked out fro or a voluminous twist out.
5. Feathered Fascinator
These would go well with a slinky little black dress or perhaps a brown one. I wouldn’t even wear the whole set in one go.
6. Boho Chic Hair Wreath
This screams summer with a white tank top, ripped jeans and sandals or a maxi dress.
7. Wood Look Banana Clip
This is simple enough for everyday wear to gather up your curls in a side sweep or leave them hanging in the back with your bangs left out.
8. Natural Shell Hair Band
Bonfire get together or beach party?
9. Micro Fiber UV Protection Headband Set
Think of the possibilities with these colors.
10. Glitter Headband
Party over here!
11. Wooden Beads
Fulani braids anyone?
12. Hair Pendant
Jazz up those box braids or twists.
13. Hair Bandeau
Work, party, beach? Whatever.
14. PuffCuff
I would classify this as a tool for everyday use.
15. Hair Cuffs
These go great on braids, twists, updos, you name it. It depends on your style.
16. Loc Coil Wraps
Dreadlock coil wraps make the perfect accessories for your locs, faux locs, braids or twists.
So which of these would you rock?
