How to Use Hair Accessories Creatively

How much design is too much? This question has been worrying all kinds of artists throughout the times. We are living in the very fun cultural period of fashion, where basically anything goes. Use your imagination and sense of style to buy, craft and mix hairpieces to make your hair-styling games truly exciting. Use the “Save” option on Instagram to collect ideas — and on Pinterest, of course. Here are some of my ideas of how to accessorize your hairstyles and surprise everyone.

#1: Wrap a Hair Vine

Want an accessory that can’t be missed? A hair vine is the way to go. From full to delicate, they come in a variety of styles for any occasion. I got this floral one from Amazon, and I wrapped it like a headband and around the braid.

#2: Fresh Flowers

Of course, I can’t get too into this without bringing up one of the most popular accessories, fresh flowers. Baby’s Breath is one of the most popular flowers. What is my pro tip for making sure those flowers stay put? Slip a bobby pin into the stems and then pin them in place. (this works great with big flowers, too. Take a peek)

#3: Woodland Pins

I grabbed these adorable pins from Amazon, and I love the woodland-fairy vibes they can add to any style. They’re bobby-pin style, so they’re an easy accessory to use!
