Of all the trends that roll off the runways each season, only 50 per cent of them are truly wearable. Case in point metal hair accessories, that, unlike the scrunchy before them, manage to master functionality without having to compromise on form. Here, your guide your mastering metal no matter what your hair type.
If your hair is short…
Copy Chanel’s clever clasp and headband combination. While the headband keeps those short, wispy hairs out of the way, the ornate hair clip instantly ups the glam factor.
If your hair is long…
Try the half up, half down style as seen at Celine. The functionality comes from having your hair pulled back, while the form comes with letting your long locks flow. Genius!
If your hair is fine…
Use a metal-covered elastic to make your thin ponytail look effortlessly chic. If you find it’s slipping down, try spritzing some dry shampoo into your mid-lengths to give it something to grip onto to.
If your hair is thick…
Twist it into a bun and adorn it with metal clips, like they did at Dolce & Gabbana. This ensures your accessory doesn’t get lost under all your hair, while cleverly contorting it into place.
If your hair is flat…
Play with texture by back-combing your roots and twisting a section of hair into a half-up ponytail. Top the look off with a bulky metal accessory – or vintage pin – to add volume where you need it most.
