For the best part of a year, we've become used to queuing outside a supermarket, some of us have adapted to working from home and others have had the unenviable task of addinghome schooling to their list of daily tasks. On trend fashion and accessories hardly feel like a priority right now, it's practical buys that are getting us going. Take hair accessories for example. Not only do they take the faff out of getting ready, but choose the one that, as Marie Kondo would say, 'sparks joy' and they can make you feel a darned sight more human too.
Let's show a bit of appreciation then for the humble hair accessory. Whether you want to tame unruly fly-aways or look and feel a little jazzier without trying too hard, there are clips, pins, scrunchies and headbands to help. Just look to Lizzo for inspiration who sported a set of statement hair clips for her second outfit change of the Grammy Awards 2021.
Dr Jill Biden loves a good hair accessory too. She was recently spotted wearing a refreshingly 'normal' up-do with her hair pulled back into a baby blue scrunchie while out shopping for some 'Valentine's treats'.
Model and mum Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also recently elevated their hair game with a classic hair clip that she took to Instagram to show off. Taking a mere 10 seconds to secure, this is by far the fastest and easiest way to zhuzh up any style.
Back-to-back Zoom meetings? Or a virtual drinks catch-up with friends? Whatever your 'new normal' plans looks like, fear not - a hair accessory will make you look like your best self, even when you're not feeling it. Which really, if we're honest, is what we all need right now.
