Our Favorite Accessories for Lived-In Hair
We know everyone is worried as they watch their roots and ends grow during social distancing, but we also know that reaching for box-dye or scissors often leads to unsatisfactory results. While you wait on your stylist for cuts and color, you can utilize accessories to help distract from the lived-in look we all have to wear right now.
To help you stay in style during social distancing, we’ve created a simple guide for finding the most effective (and trendiest) accessories for styling hair with grow out. Even before social distancing, adding some flair to your hair with accessories was becoming a huge trend, so we’re looking at this as an opportunity to have some fun with our style!
If you’re primarily struggling with your roots or overgrown bangs, headbands, hats, clips, and scarves will become your best friends. Bobby pins - simple or ornamental - can be used to clip your bangs to the side, while hats, scarves, and headbands can easily be thrown on to hide grow out. If you’re worried about the appearance of your hair as a whole, it’s often easiest to wear your hair up to take attention away from split ends, frizz, and flyaways. In this case, you can look for hair ties and clips that help to make simple styles like messy buns and ponytails look more thoughtful.
The main thing to look for when shopping for items like this is how well they’ll fit into your wardrobe so that you can get the most use out of them. Look for accessories in colors and patterns that complement your most-worn clothing to make pairing them with your outfits a breeze! We also recommend matching any metal barrettes or clips to your jewelry. If you tend to wear more gold or silver jewelry, consider buying clips in the same finish so that they don’t clash with other accessories.
You can find fun hair accessories all over the internet and shop at a range of price points - retailers from Target to Madewell are offering wide selections. Some trends for the summer include embellished bobby pins, padded or knotted headbands, bold barrettes, large scrunchies, and patterned scarves.
