Head bands

Head bands are a must-have this summer! You get them in every size and color or you can even wrap your scarves or nacklaces around your head. You can do anything with them. Just try to wear them across your forehead to go for the hippie look or regularly pulled back over your bangs.
I didn't want to post standart photos of Nicole Richie or MKA Olsen wearing them, because almost everybody has seen them pulling off head bands. For this reason i searched around the internet for real girls having them on and found some pretty good pictures on thecobrasnake.com. Get inspired!

Let's start off with the plain wide head band. This girl wears hers across the forehead in combination with black nailpolish and in contrast to her light blonde hair.




This one is actually my favorite. The head band looks very self-made. Just buy some fabric or elastic strings and braid them together. It's so plain but so beautiful.




This gril is definately going for the flowery hippie look, which matches blond hair perfectly. You can buy these head bands prefabricated in stores or just take a simple head band and a hair clip with a fake flower on it and clasp it together. These things are avaliable at H&M for a few bucks and actually look like haute couture!




This is for the ones of you who want to make it pretty easy. Just ask your daddy for a cord, I'm sure he has one in his hobby room. Tie it together on the ends and you are ready to go!




Here's another self-made hairband. This girls works it with braided hair streaks and prefers a light shine of metallic in on her head.




I really love this head band, too. It is made out of feathers and really expensive if you buy it in store. BUT you can also make it your self. Look out for a bunch of really long feathers, like peacock feathers for example. Maybe you remember that you already braided flowers into a head band when you were younger, so that's exactly how it works with the feathers. First you have to start off with three feathers and start to braid them. Add more and more feathers until you got a long strap. Attach the ends with some yarn.




Here you can see a silver one that really pops out and works good with red lipstick. You can buy the same head band at H&M for about 5 $ / 3 €. They are avaliable in every color, I personally have the purple one.




Wow I love this idea. These head bands are made of raccoon tails. You can get them at a fabric store or on ebay as a key chain. Just sew a few together.




Here's another standart head band. Also from H&M for around 5$ / 3€.
It's perfect to get started and try out if a head band looks good on you.




Now this is the classy look which also Nicole Richie prefers. This girl uses a Chanel scarf as a head band. Be carfeful and don't wear outstanding clothes with it, it might look too overdressed. Just pick a plain shirt and some cute jeans.
