Urban Outfitters Silk Flower Headwrap: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:00:22 PDT

Urban Outfitters listed this Silk Floral Headwrap ($18) as one of their must-have items of the season. I like the idea and it lends a certain je ne sais quoi, but it's a bit costumey. Do you think I should I add this to my 10 Fall essentials?

4 Ways to Protect Your Hair From the Summer Sun

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:15:00 PDT

Reader dreamalittledream recently asked for tips on keeping her newly colored hair from fading in the sun in the BellaSugar Q and A group in the Bella Community. It's a great question, because while we're sure you're in the habit of applying sunscreen to your face and body, perhaps the hair doesn't get the SPF protection it might need, too. So, to find out how to help keep your coiffure from fading and frying this season, just keep reading.

Get the Look: Make Your Own Haute Couture Hair Garland

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 01:10:00 PDT

Garlands have been showing up everywhere for several months now, and they're poised to be the next big hair accessory trend. The latest, prettiest iteration on the look (and by far the most wearable) is the simple gold daisy chains we saw on models at the Valentino show at 2011 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Slender chain garlands are much less obtrusive than a wreath, and low-key enough to wear any time.

Luckily, it's easy to make your own wreath out of an inexpensive gold-toned charm necklace. All you do is pin the ends of the chain together in the back. There are plenty of cute, inexpensive pieces that look a lot like the Valentino chains, too, like Cath Kidston's short floral necklace ($17, no. 4) or this gold and pearl charm necklace ($57, no. 2) from Blu Bijoux. If you want a readymade double band, Forever 21's flower charm necklace ($3, no. 1) is a bargain.

And if you're not comfortable making your own, there are also some very similar headbands available, like this silver double-banded L. Erickson engaged headband ($32, no. 3) and this glitzy beaded headwrap ($6, no. 5), also from Forever 21.
