Way ahead: the glamorous new hair accessories

Dolce & Gabbana’s models wore grand ornamental headpieces stuck with flowers and playing cards, and at Simone Rocha their hair was clipped with elegant pearl sliders. Rather than concentrating on the hair, the focus shifted on to the hair’s adornment, which is where we come in. It’s far easier to stick a glamorous accessory in your hair than it is to curl and blow-dry it to perfection, and dainty affordable options are available on your high street. Alternatively, pluck a flower from your neighbour’s garden.

Pucker up

Urban Decay is really good at colour. Its new Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss is laced with peppermint oil, and comes in 20 shades and four finishes, including Holographic.

True colours

This season’s hair trends favour the bored brunette. Those looking for a little refresh could do worse than ask their hairdresser for either the new “rose brown” (a rose undertone adds a warm pink glow to brown hair) or “bronde” (golden highlights ever so gently blended).

Head start

Dandruff treatments have just got chic. Treat your scalp (and yourself) with Leonor Greyl’s Bain Traitant à la Propolis, Sachajuan Scalp Shampoo or Malin & Goetz’s Dandruff Shampoo.
