Headpieces were all the rage last year as we gave a nod back to glamorous styles reminiscent of the Egyptian era. Curlies need headpieces that can expand with the volume and texture of any hairstyle we create. This is key whether you’re donning an updo or wearing your hair out, so a headpiece with a tieback ribbon will work with your hair and not against it. The sweet details and sparkle of this gem will give you the just right amount of glitz without breaking the bank.

A chic topknot or bun can always be accessorized with a great accent. Using jewels, pins, barrettes, or wire to wrap the bun/topknot can add a pop of color to your hair. It is always fun to experiment with how a hair accessory can compliment an updo and using wire or thread is also an unexpected way to maintain the shape of your style.

Oh hair combs, how we love you. Many of us experiment with buns and updos on days when we don’t want to wear our hair out, so a hair accessory is a great compliment to bringing the right attention to your hair.
