Flower Headband and Crown

Many young girls like to play games where they pretend to be adults and do "adult things". This may include dressing up in their mum's clothes and playing with hair and make-up accessories, but some mothers worry about their children growing up too fast. Hair accessories for girls can be the perfect way to give your daughter a really pretty new look without over-sexualising her.

Fun hair accessories for girls, such as a tiara covered in colourful diamantes or a sparkly plastic crown, which can be clipped into the hair as a fancy dress item, are a good way to make your child feel really grown up, whilst still allowing her to be a child. A crown or tiara will also make your child feel like a real life princess! If your daughter is more of a tomboy, you can always buy other accessories, such a pirate hats or Native American feather headdresses.

Lately there has been a resurgence of headbands seen worn on celebrities, teenagers, and young women everywhere. In the 1960s, headbands in a myriad of styles were popular on "mods" and hippies. The mod style of the headband was a wide accessory that was worn across the top of the head. They were usually a solid color and went with their go-go boots and mini skirts or dresses. Hippies wore theirs in more of a ninja style around the crown of their head. They either tied a scarf or bandanna around long locks or had a more natural one that was full of flowers.

Headbands are an easy way to appear stylish and put together. You can wear them with your hair in a loose up-do or leave your hair down for a more casual look. There are many unique headbands to choose from. Jeweled head pieces are perfect for a night out, while flower crowns are great for music festivals or concerts.

There are a lot of modern ways to wear the hippie style of headbands. Most recently, floral crowns have been popular. Celebrities dressed up on the red carpet or other women on their wedding day have been seen wearing precious metal, jeweled, or flower adorned headbands that can go around the head in the hippie style or worn on top in the classic style.

There are also some unconventional ways to wear headbands today. One idea is to braid a piece of one's hair and wrap it around the head to give the appearance of a headband made out of hair. This is a hippie or bohemian relaxed look. Also, stylish sunglasses can be used to keep the hair pulled back by putting them on the head and pushing the bangs back. This is a great beach or summer look.
