Trend Report: Headed for Style

From the red carpet to the runways, headbands are topping off the style of celebrities and models alike. At the 2012 Golden Globes, Charlize Theron dazzled in a vintage piece by Cartier, and Michelle Williams accentuated her ensemble with a vintage satin and jewelled Fred Leighton piece.  Louis Vuitton accented whimsical designs with petite headbands at the S/S ’12 show.

 This is definitely one trend that can easily be transformed from day to night. Check out my favorites under $50 below and fwe of my tips to help you pick the right headband and how to style it.

·         For a faux but flattering poof,  push your headband a few inches back from your head and then pull it forward so it pushes the front section of your hair up slightly

·         If your hair is thin/fine don’t overwhelm it with wide headbands that cover your hair, stick to the more petite styles.  

·         If your hair is thick, wider headbands are the go. Steer clear of anything too petite unless it’s a headwrap.

·         A thick headband worn on your hairline will shorten an elongated face.

·         If you’re having trouble trying to get your headband to stay in place then mist your hair with a little bit of hairspray before putting in your headband to get it to stay put.
