Hair bandanas have gone full circle in Sacramento, California where a group of men robbing Chatham Beauty Supply store (4200 block of Norwood Avenue) covered their faces with bandanas which are a common hair accessory worn in a variety of ways.

It is ironic that a beauty supply store would be robbed by men wearing the common and very popular hair accessories.  Both women and men wear bandanas as either loose, rolled or fitted head bands or head scarves. (more…)

Of course you have to know that as I was watching the new He’s Just Not That Into You (HJNTIY) I had my eyes clamped onto the screen looking for hair accessories.

There is a long history of major films, Catwalk events and celebrity Red Carpets influencing hair accessory trends.

What did I see?  Several incidences of hair accessories although the biggest trend was for small “baby” barrettes, tiny “claw” clips and a few sleep clip type of accessories.

The fashions wore in the film by the ladies, for the most part, was very casual for the majority of the scenes featuring very cute jeans and a wide ranges of tops. There were two weddings but even those were low key fashion events with the brides wearing simple bridal styles.

The fashions worn in the office by the three co-workers - Jennifer Aniston, Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Connolly - are simple, elegant but dressy and cute, cute, cute. (more…)

Actress Zooey Deschanel tries to be “unbearably clever” at least that’s what she told Jane Magazine in a September 2006 interview about her role in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

The witty younger sister of Emily Deschanel of TV’s Bones told Jane that her fave snack foods were “carob chips, apples, pudding”.

As far as her fashion Zooey told Jane she is perpetually shopping for “the perfect pair of overall shorts” which have “eluded me since the fifth grade”.

Gosh, I just love Zooey in ‘Failure To Launch’ when she is driven to distraction by the mockingbird outside her window.  She is beyond hilarious.

I also loved her as the deadpan smartass in Elf where she played a blonde as well as demonstrating her singing talents during the course of the movie.

Zooey’s career is skyrocketing and she recently walked the Red Carpet with Jim Carrey in honor of her significant role in Yes Man.

Not only is the funny girl’s career rocking, her sense of style and beauty have continued to evolve since her Elf days when her medium length bobbed hair was a shade of over processed blonde.

One of the current goals of hair consumers is finding high quality products which can serve multiple purposes.

A head scarf made of a high quality Pashima, silk or similar fabric, especially one that has a generous amount of material (for rolling and folding), can be worn a variety of ways including the following options:

1. As a soft scarf headband.
The scarf can be rolled into a long tube of fabric and then worn as a hair band positioned at various locations along the head from right at the hairline to near the back of the crown. The scarf headband is tied into a knot with long flowing tails.

The scarf’s knot can be positioned either in front of the ears or behind them with the knot either worn underneath the hair or on top of it. The knot can also be positioned to the side of the head or near the center of the back.

This trend as wearing scarves-as-headbands is rampant over in Europe and it was showcased on the runway for Spring 2009. Expect the trend to continue to grow. Many celebrities such as Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton have rocked various scarf headbands with their hair. (more…)

Holiday Hairstyles

With less than two weeks left before the Holidays its time to plan for your Holiday Hairstyles.

The good news is that Holiday Hairstyles don’t have to break your bank. If you want to conserve the money you might normally spend at the salon on other items, you can still have fabulous Holiday tresses without dropping a ton of cash.

Listed below are some easy Holiday Hairstyle ideas for any budget:

1. Change your normal texture.

This is one instant way to change up your hairdo with minimum expense. If your hair’s normally worn straight, add big beautiful barrel curls in a snap with hot rollers.

Either pull your hair up into a top knot framed with loose pinned barrel curls or wear your hair in a soft pony near the nape of your neck with barrel curls adorning the length.

Barrel curls are always instyle and can be worn pinned in place or soft and bouncy.

Another great Holiday Hair tip is to modify your hair type. If your hair is fine and thin - pump it up with volume. If your hair is thick and unruly, wear it sleek and flatter.
