Some of us have experienced a touch of warmer weather recently, and are starting to think towards next season’s styles.  And if you’re still surrounded by snow and ice, you might want to think spring anyway – it will get to you eventually!  Here’s a rundown of some of this spring’s fashion and accessory trends, from sources like Vogue, Glamour, and Women’s Wear Daily.

• Mixing different prints.  If you keep them in the same color family, wearing more than one pattern can look totally cool.  A floral scarf or headband will let you ease into this look, if you can coordinate it with a top or dress. (more…)

Whether your hair is long or short, layered or single length, curly or straight, thick or thin, there is a hair clip for you.  Even if you cover full time with a scarf or wig, you can still use clips, both for function and fun.  Hair clips (also known as barrettes, hair slides, hair clasps, or hair pins – depending where you’re from), are great for keeping hair out of eyes (especially growing-out bangs!), for holding part- or full-ponytails in place, and for decorating otherwise simple hairstyles.  Here’s a rundown of the most common styles and who/what they are good for.

• Bobby pins were invented in the 1920′s because short hairstyles – bobs – were in fashion for the first time, and women needed new ways to keep them in place.  Someone took the u-shaped hair pin, which is great for keeping buns and other heavy styles in place, and flattened it out, so that it would work for smaller pieces of hair.   (more…)

The basic life-cycle of a hair is that it grows about half an inch per month for 2 to 6 years, rests for a while, then falls out.  At any given time, about 85% of your hair is growing and 15% is resting.  Baldness is when hair falls out, but nothing grows in its place.

Female pattern baldness isn’t exactly like the male version.  Instead of the classic receding hairline, women tend to lose hair from the top of their heads – a center parting becomes gradually wider.  And they rarely lose as much as men; women experience general thinning, but they still have hair.  It is caused by changes in the level of certain hormones.

How do you know that your hair loss is a result of female pattern baldness?   (more…)

Big flowers have been big news for a couple of years now, in the world of fashion.  On pins, clips, headbands, and hats, we’ve gone back to the days when nature was your best source of beauty – and the perfect accessory.  Flowers come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors; they can also be dried, to add a hint of spring to even the warmest outfit.

Large, colorful flowers dress up an outfit, and add an element of fun and playfulness.  A satin and lace flower headband is elegant for a special occasion – and is there anything cuter than a flower girl with a wreath on her hair?  You can even wear flowers to work; (more…)

Alopecia – the medical term for hair loss – can occur for a variety of reasons.  Sometimes it is hereditary, or caused by an autoimmune disorder, and cannot be controlled.  But sometimes hair things as a result of other issues, such as stress and nutrition, in which case, there are several things you can do to deal with it.

• Protein and iron are essential when it comes to having healthy hair.  If you’re lacking either, or are otherwise messing around with your diet (eating nothing but grapefruit for a week?), then hair loss can result. (more…)

Three-stranded, six-stranded, inside-out, French, rope, fishtail…braiding is one of the most exciting ways to spice up your hairstyle, and the possibilities are endless.  There are SO many ways to braid hair that you could do a different one every day for months.  And while all you need for an awesome braided hairdo is a comb, a rubber band, and maybe some bobby pins, you can easily dress them up even more with clips and ribbons and flowers.

You don’t even have to braid all of your hair to make it look interesting. (more…)
