Trendspotting: Funky Hair Accessories: Raccoon Hats and more!

Posted Jul 8th 2008 1:42PM by Najwa Moses

Wassup Hair Lovers!! Though we all love hair.....we also adore great hair accessories, from hats to scarves to feathers to braids a hair accessory does the head good!

The young lady above is not only an indie designer but she just cut off her signature Afro and is now rocking a super crazy raccoon hat...I'm not sure if it's real or not, in fact I'm not even sure I want to know..but between the hat, the frames and the designs in her baldie she is seriously rocking some hair pieces.

Okay!

As we all know retro looks are super hot right now and the singular braid across the head or on the side of the face pulls heavily from the '70's. These fashionistas show you how to do it with your own hair or with extensions take note that this style can be done with ANY hair texture.

This Styleaholic really shows us how to rock a hairbow! Take style note of the mettallic finish of the material and the crystal beads..so Alice in Wonderland chic no?

Feathers have made a HUGE comeback in the form of the must have hair accessory. These fashionista show us how FEATHERS can either be worn on a headband or hang from the side of the head and you know I'm digging that super long weave right?

Whatever you decide to work with--remember to have fun..it's only hair!!!

Until next time.....keep it shiny...
