Hippie babe Nicole Richie might not have invented the headwrap, but she certainly helped boost its popularity! I started out wearing thin hippie headbands, but have now graduated to bolder cloth styles. Bonus points for those of you bold enough to try a flower crown. You can find tons of cheap pieces at Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters!
Here are a few fun ways to wear them:
Thinnish, elastic hippie headbands look great across your forehead, but I prefer to wear them back an inch or two past my hairline, almost like a halo. This is also a good way to wear a headwrap if the elastic in it is too tight to comfortably wear across your forehead. Cloth styles look great like this too!
Hairbands are a great way to add glamour and fashion to a bad-hair-day ponytail.
Turbands are one of my favorite trends right now. Strangely though, I've found that they look best with curly, wavy, or textured hair rather than my natural pin-straight state. Try spritzing with salt spray and scrunching, or curling large sections before wearing.
