For a long time, the rims performed only a functional role, they were used to remove facial hair. But, recently, we are increasingly confronted with the fact that a hoop can also perform a purely decorative role.

He can decorate any hairstyle: loose or chop hair, make a high bun, hide the bangs or adjust its shape with a rim. Let's look at some of the most popular examples of how modern girls wear hoops.

Owners of the correct face shape and not very wide forehead can simply fix their loose hair with a rim, and, if desired, slightly twist the ends. This is a universal option, which is suitable regardless of whether you have short or long hair.

Girls with bangs can be left to frame her face, combing back all the other hair.

How to store?

If there are a lot of rims, use organizers for boxes or dividers for clothes - this will allow you to sort the accessories and quickly find the necessary ones. For example, a good option is to put separately everyday, holiday and those that are suitable for business images. So in the morning you will save your time without wasting it on a quest.

If there are not very many rims, you can select a place on the dressing table where you put a special basket. In it you can add not only hoops, but also other hair accessories - elastic bands, hair clips, invisible.

The basket can be replaced with any box - a round gift wrapping from perfumes, a tin can from cookies and other things.
