Thread: Wearing head-pieces - hair jewelry and great hair-dos

When my hair was shorter I always wore a fake pony tail out to night clubs. The one I had was a perfect match for my hair, and looked great. One weekend I went in without it, and everyone thought I had cut my hair!

The one I had was a Soho pony tail in one of the really long styles. It help up to years of going out dancing, and never once came loose.

Ok, I am shamelessly going to plug feathers, rhinestones and flowers that I make: Gina Nilaja Theesfield - Chicago, IL | Facebook I can custom make a piece to match your costume, outfit, formal event..etc. as well.

That would be a lot of fun! I am soooo dysfunctional when it comes to styling my mop, it has to be fairly easy and not require too many hands!!!

If we set something up, I'll bring the margarita mix & tequila!

Then add a decorated wide hairband or flower clips or vintage rhinestone hairclips, but large. It helps to have wavy hair or curl your hair so it doesn't look flat and ballerina like. It's a fun and pretty easy updo.

If you ever take a photo, totally share it.

It's the right thread for it. Those are really pretty.

^This one I think you can do yourself. I found a tutorial on one.

Where did you find the fake braid? I would love to have something like that.

I think mine was at Rite Aid/Walgreens, somewhere like that. I love it-it's simple but really great to wear!

I love the hair on the girl in turquoise in this video, I like her makeup too. And her costume ,r:; I'm trying to figure out how to do a shorter version of this, because that's a lot of hair! I'm sure she has some added on top. This video is hysterical as well.

And I found a motherload of great hair ideas, although they are pretty high fashion. This one could be made easily though; get a lony ponytail clip on and some matching loose hair to wrap in the sections -- it can all be done ahead of time. And it's really cool.
