Alice bands brighten up hair

I loved Taylor Swift's casual look when shopping in LA this week. Her long wavy tresses were softly pulled back into a plait, gently twisted through the sides and decorated with a simple headband. And she's not the only one to embrace the look. Pixie Lott, Paris Hilton and Kelly Osbourne have all chosen bows, sequins and button-embossed bands to add interest to everyday hair. In fact, Alice bands, headdresses, fascinators - whatever you want to call them - are the perfect accessory for summer. They add a splash of bling for evening events, pretty florals are perfect for the beach and best of all, they hide roots and a BFF on bad hair days.
