10 Hair Accessories for When It's Too Hot to Deal
Turbans! Headwraps! Barrettes! Oh my!
There are endless reasons to love summer, but the state of your hair probably isn't one of them. Between the out-of-control frizz and the frustrating attempts at faking beach hair (which usually end in crunchy, crispy strands), it's best to just look to the promise of cooler, good hair days ahead. In the meantime, if you've resigned yourself to the same old topknot or simple braid, don't fret, there are ways to make the situation a bit more exciting: put a hair accessory on it! From tropical print headwraps to shiny turbans to colorful barrettes, these fun accoutrements are the easiest way to break out of your summer hair rut.
