27 Hot Hair Ideas from a few fab foxes

Do you dress from head to toe?

Do you now, as a grown-up, wear a clip or a bow?

Would you wear a scarf upon your head?

Or would you rather endure the pain of childbirth instead?

Last week on Fox in Flats we threw down a dare – could you, for a whole week, wear something on your head? Be it a hat, a headband, a flower, or hair extensions, the challenge was to see if you could ‘use your head’ to accessorise (Click here for the details of the dare).

So many women participated in the dare, and in really creative ways. Now we want to share the great tips and ideas showcased by these clever chicks – as a much more practical alternative to the glossy, photoshopped images of models the fashion mags usually offer.

27 quick, easy & fabulous ideas for dressing up your head:

1. Attach a flower to a pony-tail for instant pretty like Natalie from Tiny & Little.

2. Create a dreamy flowered wreath like Pene.

TIP: To recreate Pene’s gorgeous tousled boho look, use beach spray in your hair and finish with an eQUIP flowered wreath.

3. Secure a silk scarf around your head for a classic look like Kim-Marie.

4. Elegantly embellish a headband like Naomi.

5. Be fab in feathers with a simple headband like this, worn by Christina (who’s so in love with all things hair she’s created a site called Hair Romance!)

6. Channel your inner-Prince and don a Raspberry Beret like I did one day at the beach.

7. Go rock-star style like Sonia who blogs at Life, Love and Hiccups.

8. Secure a clip high on your crown to highlight hot hair, like Nathalie, who runs child behaviour consultancy Easy Peasy Kids.

9. Pretty up a pony like Katie.

10. Rock the rainbow and try coloured hair highlight extensions like this purple one worn by Norlin from Baubles, Bubbles and Bags.

11. Wrap and tie a lightweight scarf like Jess who blogs at Tattoo Mummy.

12. A barrette can easily bling up a bun, like Tara from mum-ments.

13. Side-swipe your fringe with a slide clip like Kim-Marie.

14. An antique-style clip adds a bit of polish to my messy half-up-half-down twisty-do.

15. Try a scarf tied around your head like A.J. (who also created this clever article for Fox in Flats How to wear a scarf without looking like Captain Feathersword)

16. Wrap a pretty scarf around your head, and secure underneath, like Pene.

17. Alice-bands a bit girly for you? Shop around for headbands embellished with studs and chains like this one I found in a $2 shop.

18. Get spunky in a straw hat like Sonia.

19. Position a thin scarf on your hairline for a look that is insta-glam, but sneakily hides unwashed hair as seen on Fiona from My Mummy Daze.

20. Newsboy caps are a more polished take on the standard baseball cap, and are readily available in funky finishes like this tweed one worn by Naomi from Seven Cherubs.

21. Try out your Michael Jackson moves, Smooth Criminal style in a Panama Hat like this one I picked up from David Jones.

22. A Trilby sure is practical, but they’re also a bit sexy like Kristy from The Imperfect Mum.

23. Ribbons can be rad! I went DIY to create this in less than 2 minutes with a length of black ribbon and a hair comb. A simple how-to is here.

24. Tie a ribbon around a low bun like Norlin for a look that is fresh, simple and chic (and check out Norlin’s other looks from her week doing the dare here – she scored herself an accessory pack from eQUIP!)

25. A bright headband is brilliant, like Gemma’s from My Big Nutshell.

26. Wrap a length of thin leather around your head, or clip it in cleverly like Pene.

27. Headbands are hot! Check out some of the vastly different looks sent in by some of the fab foxes:
