A Messy Hair Day = A Gorgeous Head Band

Filed under: Jewelry

It seems as though Mother Nature has gotten tired of engulfing most of the US with snow and has instead turned her attention to drenching us with a combination of strong winds, pouring rain and disgusting drizzle. However you look at it, this weather is the worst.

Of the many things we think about during rainy days - and the most thought about is probably along the lines of when will Mr. Sunshine sweep us off our feet again? - is how to stay dry and still look presentable once we have reached our destination. Even with the usual rain gear (boots, coat, hat and umbrella) to keep us intact, our hair still has to endure awful weather. And by the time we get to where we need to be, our hair looks nothing like its former vibrant and shiny self. So in an effort to have your hair looking great on those crazy rainy days, just put your hair in a ponytail and add a headband. It will give your hair the well needed boost it deserves. Featured to the right is my personal favorite, the Bijoux Heart Tapisserie Gold Plated Hairband. It is adorned with an explosion of crystals and various colored stones, making you an instant fashionable standout.

Although the prices of these headbands may be a little too extravagant for your budget, there are more affordable and just as gorgeous pieces available at Etsy, J.Crew, and TopShop.

3.1 Phillip Lim Pleated Star Headband

I haven't worn a headband since my middle school days. Well, besides wearing one when I go running or washing my face. I just haven't thought of headbands as one of the most fashionable accessories in a long time - especially given all that you could choose from. And this is not to say that there is anything wrong with headbands, it's just an accessory that doesn't readily speak to me. But 3.1 Phillip Lim takes an ordinary silk headband and turns it up a notch with Swarovski crystals accents. Lim's Pleated Star Headband still has a bit of a casual feel but it's still dressy enough that you could wear out for drinks and not feel as though you should be exercising. And no need for constant readjusting as it features an elastic in the back for a more secure fit. Price: $275.

Dominique Duval Rivers of Gold Headband

Anyone following fashionistas or the celebrity gossip sites will probably have noticed that headbands are quite popular at the moment. Rather than looking too girlish, the trend is to give a fresh, simple look by keeping hair just back from the face. At least, the overall look should be simple. The headband itself doesn't have to be. Dominique Duval's Rivers of Gold Headband, imported from Paris, is made of a string of handblown glass beads that are streaked with bright copper. It is a far cry from any of the brightly colored fabric bands you may have worn as a child. It ties with a velvety ribbon and, despite the intricacies of the beading, shouldn't get caught in your hair. Price: $415.
