A Note about Hair Accessories…From the Teachers Desk.

 

Hair Accessory Dos and Don’ts from the Teachers Perspective

I walk into teach my 7^th grade class on an early afternoon ready to start a brand new day and a brand new lesson; only to have five hands already raised.

“Could I go to the bathroom, I reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllyyyyyyy have to go” they shout.

Although they just had lunch I let them go thinking that at least the class will be quiet.

They come back in with their side bangs perfectly swept and their soft wide headbands sitting perfectly on their heads.

So that’s what they had to go to the bathroom for. Not only that, but they keep on opening their desks every two minutes to look in their tiny little mirror to make sure it’s still in place. Well, of course within the next five minutes one hair actually did move out of place and all of a sudden they’re frantically crying that they reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllyyyyyyy have to go to the bathroom.

“Wow, this is gonna be fun” I think to myself.

Don’t you agree with me that life would be so much simpler with some nice and stylish hair accessories that just let our kids live life?? Put it on once and you don’t have to check up on it till the end of the day.

The first step would probably be to drop those side bangs. Grow them in once and for all. Besides for being busy in the mirror the whole day making sure they’re perfectly in place and besides for constantly making sure they’re not oily (because they were touched the whole day), we teachers will actually be able to see your daughter’s eyes and face and she’ll be able to concentrate in class so much better. If she insists that she likes a cut in the front of her face why not try a middle part? The middle part cut is actually back in style in full force. And it keeps hair out of the way and we can actually see your child’s face that way too!

Another great way to keep her hair out of her face is with a headband. NOT a soft headband that slips and will probably fall off every three seconds, a headband with teeth that will actually stay on her head for a longer period of time.

Drop those bobby pins and go for the clips, they come in many different colors and are much more secure.

Next on the list is the back of the hair. The best way to keep it out of the way is to put it up. A banana clip can be an idea as long as it’s not loose and doesn’t slip out every two minutes. Otherwise, a butterfly clip, a jaw clip or a scrunchy could make the perfect fit. Stylish, simple and comfortable she won’t need to be all busy with her hair 24/7.

I can go on like this forever, but I think you get the point and I’m sure you agree with me by now that life and school would feel a thousand times more free and enjoyable without always having to be busy with hair accessories and what people will think if one hair is out of place because this way no hairs will be out of place.

For our part, on our side of the teacher’s desk, we will finally be able to have a class without any disruptions!

Hair Accessories For Women Help YOU Set The Trend!

YOU set the style! Try it with these mini jaw clips or any other hair accessory you like!

Do you ever feel like wearing some real original hair accessories, like something that not EVERYONE is wearing and just don’t have the courage or self-esteem to be “different” that EVERYONE else??

Now, let me ask you something- Who starts the trends?? Well, the answer is very simple – you and I are the ones who set the trends. “What?!?!” you may think, but it’s true. Okay you might not have been the one to actually start the trend but it could’ve been your next door neighbor, best friend or even a family member.

The nature of people is that we are always looking at “the other person” to know what to wear and what is in. Try coming to school or work once with a hair style that no one is wearing yet and see how many people start wearing it within the next month. For example, let’s say no one wears braids to school. Try wearing a braid to school every day for the next month – you can even add a ribbon at the bottom to make it a little more interesting and don’t forget to walk with your head held high! Now my dear friend, you will be surprised to see how many people actually start wearing a braid to school. It may take some time till people get used to it but the more they see it, the more they like it and that’s when they’ll decide they need change and start wearing it too. Funny, no? Trust me it’s true! Try it for yourself and let me know!

So why don’t you try being the leader for once instead of the follower? Just jump into the world of trends in hair styles and hair accessories and be the first one to wear the “newest” style!

Need ideas?! Sure, I’ll help you out! How about mini jaw clips like the ones pictured in this blog or the lookk of  two pig tail braids with a ribbon or hair bow on each side? Or how about the tight twisted bun-piano teacher look? Ever thought of bringing hats back into style?!?! How about a womens beret?  Oh, and I almost forgot, head bands made out of real hair! The hair can be braided and stuck on the headband. You can get exactly the same color as your hair and the look is “oh so natural”!

Now, it doesn’t have to be something so extreme, it could be a regular normal hair accessory. The point is that you can and should wear whatever pleases you and not the world!

I’ll leave the rest of the thinking up to you, so good luck and don’t forget to let me know if you come up with something really interesting!

Women’s Hats Protect Hairdos, Part II

Crochet Beret Hat

After you secure the front of your hair back with a head band or bobby pins, the next step is to tie up your hair ends. Scoop your hands around the back of your neck and through the sides of your hair to pull it all upwards. Create a loose ponytail on the top of your head. Twist the ponytail into a loose bun and secure it with another hair elastic or more bobby pins.

 

Now, you may put on your hat. Be sure that the hat sits evenly on your head, so that you do not look like you have a lumpy scalp. Once you arrive at your destination, complete your hairstyle. Release your hair from its confines, tip your hair upside down, and run your fingers through it to give it added volume. If you previously applied mousse to your hair, moisten your fingertips before you finger-comb it in order to reactivate the mousse. Use the appropriate products and hair accessories for women to complete your look.

 

Granted, this strategy only works if you have the time to do it when you get to your desired location. You also need to be comfortable getting ready in a public restroom, etc. And, you need to be organized: a do-it-yourself hairdo done outside your home will only be successful if you have the right hair accessories for women.
