How To: Hair Loop
⚭⚭⚭
Reinvent the everyday top knot or bun with the ‘hair loop’. Walking the runways at Fashion Week (picture: Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2012), the ‘hair loop’ is a simple style that is pretty and polished with an unfinished edge.
→ This look can be done with straight, wavy or curly hair. Prep hair with a styling cream for hold.

→ Gather hair into a ponytail at the back of the head. Secure with elastic.
→ Flip the pony and clip the hair right above the elastic. Hair should be sticking straight up.
→ Fold hair back and use another clip around the base of the head.
→ Spritz the loop with hair spray and pull out random pieces for a slightly undone look.
TRY: Enjoy Hair Spray
FINISH: Play with hair accessories! A headband would work great with this look, or try-on an obnoxious, statement barrette. Have fun with everyday hairstyles. Make it your own.
Hair Jewelry: Urban Outfitters Oversized Turquoise Barrette
✯✯✯
Urban Outfitters Oversized Turquoise Barrette
Get creative with accessories this month and opt for an oversized hair barrette. Simple and polished, this one item can transform a look.
This Oversized Turquoise Barrette from Urban Outfitters is an excellent embellishment that adds a pop of color. The raw turquoise stone provides a natural yet edgy look.
Simply, add this barrette to a high/low ponytail or create a deep side-part, sweep the hair and clip barrette into place above the ear. Use as an ornament to compliment any classic chignon or french twist style, or decorate a plain headband by attaching barrette to the side.
Don’t want to wear this item in your hair? Fine… Attach to scarves, bags, bracelets or necklaces, the possibilities are endless. I have recently detached the clip and hot glue-gunned the stone to an old black clutch, instantly creating something new. With so many options, barrettes provide a finished appearance with a simple click of a clip.
