Hair Trend: Chic Ribbon Headband

Hair accessories are making a come back... from hair barrettes to hair combs. One of my fav hair accessories for this season is the ohh so very chic ribbon headband, as seen in Valentino's Fall 2011 collection.

“It’s a little bit Catherine Deneuve, a little bourgeois, and very Valentino,” said Palau, hairdresser that created this look.

Directions: 1. Blow out hair using Redken Velvet Gelatine for thickness and bounce. 2. Backcomb hair at the crown for height. 3. After center parting it, pull it into a low ponytail and wrap a small section of hair around the base to conceal the elastic. 4. Tye a thin black ribbon over the crown and tie it under the ponytail. 5. For the final look, pull out some soft tendrils on either side of the centre part.

and voila you are ready to go!
