Spring's Hottest Hair Accessories

Posted by babu 5:46pm GMT

 


Earl/Clements/Splash News

Three top trends to try this season:

Sheer Pleasure
From Maison Michel's mouse ears (modeled by Lady Gaga, above) to delicate headbands made of tulle and chiffon, budoir-inspired accents are all the rage for spring.

School Girl Chic
The bigger the bow, the better. Think: "Blair Waldorf" meets Marc by Marc Jacobs or Luella.

Guilded Locks
Vintage-inspired gold broaches, hair clips and barrettes add refinement to the season's textured styles.

Black Tie
Take your look to the next level with the addition of an L.B.H. (Little Black Headband). Whether in satin, feathers or even leather, it's a classic accessory that works with virtually any hairstyle or ensemble.

Recreate Rachel McAdams' latest look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity stylist Thomas Dunkin:

1. Start by applying a volumizing product like Sebastian Professional Texturizer to wet hair.
2.
Blow dry in sections, and pin each section in medium and large sized Velcro rollers throughout whole head and allow to set for 5-10 minutes.
3. Allow to cool then take down rollers, and spray hair with a dry shampoo for added texture.
4. Emulsify a small dab of Sebastian Professional Microweb Fiber between palms and run through top of hair. Backcomb front section and manipulate for height and volume. Secure with pins.
5. French braid bottom half of hair starting behind left ear and pin random remaining pieces into braid for haphazard, playful positioning.
6. Finish the look with Sebastian Professional Shaper Fierce for tousled movement and controlled hold.

Will you be experimenting with a tousled side-braid this season?
