join the band & HIDE a BAD HAIR day!

I LOVE HOW A SIMPLE HEADBAND {LIKE THIS ONE AT DOLCE & GABBANA SPRING 2013]...

 can turn a two-second 'do into something more special - or completely hide a bad hair day!

To DIY this look: Brush your hair back off your face and into a chignon or messy bun. {I think a messy bun is easier and more forgiving, but it's totally up to you!} Then fold a large silk scarf {like shown in the illo to the left} to create your 'headband'. 

Sit the scarf {headband} a smidge back from your hairline and tie at the back of your head, just below your bun or chignon. Spray your brush {or a spare toothbrush} with hairspray and run through hair to fix any flyaways around your hairline. 

This is also a great trick to conceal your roots until you get to the hairdressers!
