Headbands - add accents to the look

Gone are the days when hats were a mandatory attribute of the outfit. In modern times, they often play the role of accessories that can make the image more interesting and livelier. Among them are dressings - in appearance they are very simple, but on their base you can collect a whole non-standard bow that will surprise everyone around.

Dressing is a common name. Literally, it means a piece of fabric that is tied to something, in this case, to the head. This concept includes an extensive set of accessories, each of which is a specific subspecies. And a head scarf, and a bandana, and even a ribbon - all these are bandages, but they all differ in a set of characteristics, such as length, width, shape.

Women's headbands are presented in a wide range, which allows you to choose a model taking into account not only taste, but also external features. Some of them are a completely closed in a circle piece of fabric, which is worn through the crown. Other types need to be tied or fastened, and some even twisted to reduce the width of the canvas.

One of the most popular bandage models is a bandana, which is nothing more than a scarf or a large scarf. You can wear it all over your head, covering your forehead, crown and nape, and make a thin strip of it. A bandana must be tied in a knot or bow. From long scarves you can make an intricate turban, which is relevant in connection with the trend towards the eastern fashion.

Solid dressings that do not require any sophistication and are simply worn on the head exist in several versions.To narrow dressings are laces, ribbons, ribbons. They are concise and neat, do not cover their heads and are often used to create original hairstyles. This variety is especially relevant in the summer, as the weather allows you not to cover your head with a hat, but to make styling. It is delicate products that are most often decorated with stones, rhinestones and feathers, so that they can even become an evening and wedding decoration.

Wide bandages sometimes cover the entire crown, so they are worn at the very roots. These include sports models, for example, for fitness and running. They fit tightly to the head and hold the hair tight, so that they do not go into the eyes and do not stick to the sweaty face. Among sports, tennis armbands stand out. They are worn on the forehead and tied at the back of the head so that nothing interferes with the eyes.

The wide range includes most warm knitted dressings, which can easily replace hats in the fall and in not very cold winters. In addition, they are almost indispensable when playing sports, for example, skiing, ice skating. Due to the large number of patterns and knitting techniques, the range of warm dressings is diverse.

Among the most common are the patterns "rice", openwork, jacquard, "spiral". A braid dressing is another trending option that looks different depending on the thickness of the yarn. Among the popular knit patterns are oversized and turban. The headpiece can be made in the shape of a crown or any animal with protruding ears.

Wide bandages made of thin materials are good for the summer. Beach models are bright and richly decorated. They not only play the role of an accessory, but also have practical value - they keep their forehead open to sunlight and do not allow them to overheat.

Separately, we can distinguish the category of household dressings. Cosmetic with a fastener on the forehead does not allow locks of hair to fall on the face, which is unacceptable when applying makeup and undesirable when removing it. The elastic bandage helps to easily collect the hair in the tail, and when the need for it disappears, it can be put on the forehead again. Such a model is equally appropriate both at home and on the street.

Dressings are indispensable for creating memorable images in various styles. In recent years, the Greek style of wearing such hats has been popular. Neat thin ribbons become part of intricate hairstyles with interlocking curls. A hippie style, on the contrary, suggests simplicity - loose hair or sloppy tufts.

In the first case, the bandages are delicate and romantic, lace and openwork, with decorations in the form of flowers, and in the second - bright and catchy, with ethnic ornaments, sequins, pigtails.

Retro style is popular, as the outfits look unusual, fashionable and juicy. Many of its varieties can not do without headbands as accessories. Thin gatsby and Chicago thirties hats suggest shiny crystals, rhinestones, stones and feathers.

Styles of the fifties, such as pin-ups and dudes, are less glamorous, but they are striking because of the bright colors with drawings and large decor, for example, bows.

It is fashionable to wear hippie ribbons on the forehead, to make beautiful hairstyles in the Greek style and to put on the “Solokha” bandage. It is a one-piece product, a flexible bezel with wire inside or a scarf that is tied at the crown with a bow or knot.

In the cool season, you can afford a warm knitted bandage in the form of little animals, for example, a giraffe, fox, cat.

Oriental style with rich colors and intricate patterns displaced monophonic products from the leading position. However, ornaments on scarves can be not necessarily ethnic, but also geometric, floral. The trend is emerald, eggplant, chocolate, black and white.

Among the decor, large bows and flowers are especially relevant, as well as buttons that can fulfill the role of a fastener.For parties and formal events, dressings with rhinestones and stones are suitable. In addition to models from familiar materials, you should pay attention to lace, due to which sensual and delicate images are obtained.

Headbands can be used as accessories, and a warm headdress, and hair clips. One and the same outfit can be presented differently by wearing different types of models on the head. That is why there are many color schemes. The variety satisfies even the most fastidious tastes and allows you to combine this element with a wardrobe of any style.

Thin dressings are mostly plain and inconspicuous. They often contain black and white, as well as metallic shiny colors - silver and gold. Wide models, with the exception of sports ones, are mostly variegated. Red, purple, yellow, blue are the most classic of the brightest. Often used neon, acidic shades or delicate pastel.

Wide bandages and bandanas are most often decorated with prints. They depend on certain trends, but leopard, floral, and peas can be distinguished among permanent ones.

In the cold season, the materials are mostly warm so that the bandage can be worn without a hat. Fur and knit yarn, wool, including cashmere, felt will warm and will not allow the head to freeze.

Cotton and denim, as well as silk are the most common, as they are light and breathable, they are easily processed and dyed. Unusual options are leather, lace and satin ribbons.

Lace, tulle, Thomas, beads, satin are often used as decorative inserts. They also make flowers and bows that adorn the tops of these hats. All kinds of minerals, crystals, feathers, stripes are actively used as decor.

If a scarf or kerchief is used as a dressing, you should start from its size and the desired result. To get a thin strip, you need to fold the square fabric along the diagonal, and the rectangular fabric several times in half. Regardless of size, the canvas can be twisted, creating a kind of tourniquet.

You can tie a scarf with a knot or bow, and leave the tips sticking out or tuck them under the fabric. So that no parts are knocked out, the bandana can be fixed with invisible hairpins. If the bandage is long, then you can tie it around the head several times, thus creating a voluminous accessory. If you leave the knot at the top, you get the Solokha style, but it’s most convenient to hide them under the hair, leaving a smooth, tight-fitting strip on the forehead and at the roots of the hair.

Many styles suggest the possibility of wearing bandages, but first of all - everyday and evening. In the first case, accessories can be not only practical, but also quite catchy. Especially interesting look bows for every day, if you tie a scarf with a large bow. They will be in harmony with T-shirts and shorts, jeans, overalls. Fluffy elongated skirts with tops and blouses will create a more romantic mood.

The bandage can become part of the business image, but it should be worn only if the dress code allows. In this case, the choice should be made in the direction of concise models of pastel shades.

When it comes to headgear, special attention should be paid to the hairstyle. The most convenient and suitable for everyday life hairstyles are bunches with which you can create retro or street images. Braids, from the simplest to the most complex, are no less relevant and original. And the most popular option is loose hair. Curls can be straightened, twisted in waves, decorated with threads with feathers or rhinestones.

Bandages with bangs do not contradict each other, so do not refuse such an accessory. It can be combed to the side, or completely hidden under a wide strip of fabric. The Solokha dressings and scarves can be worn over bangs. In combination with large sunglasses, it will turn out in a bold summer way.

Bandages are often combined with scarves on the neck and glasses. Do not forget about earrings in case the ears are not covered by hair, because attention is focused on the head. Large or small, long or “cloves” - any will suit, depending on the style followed.
