"Hairdressers are a wonderful breed. You work one-on-one with another human being and the object is to make them feel so much better and to look at themselves with a twinkle in their eye."
Vidal Sassoon
During my junior college days, I wanted to be a hairdresser. It's such a wonderful thing to make people look pretty and beautiful with the touch of your hands, your skills! Sadly, I never got close to the trade other than being the receiving end (no pun intended :p) . But I still wanna help others to be pretty. ;)
Who hasn't had a bad hair day? My way of dealing with it - bun it up as beautiful chignon, tie it into a pony, or slide a hairband to tame the wild frays. There are hundreds of ways to create a different look with the use of hair accessories. Here are some for you to try:
Jeweled Barrettes
These crystals-like jeweled slim barrettes are beautiful. My personal favourite. It's dainty and glamorous at the same time. They are great for keeping bangs in check, hair on the sides and half ponytails. Comes in 7 fantastic colours. Each measures 7cm in length. S$12.90 each.
Update: Item is low on stock. Order now!!!

The crack lines on the stones bring out the beauty of mother-nature. Looks great on a low ponytail or a bun. Metallic base measures 3.7cm, stone measures 1.5cm. S$9.90 each.

Bend and Snap Clips in Wild Leopard, Starry Starry and Kawaii Prints
What is a bend & snap clip, you say? It's those that you unfasten and fasten the clips by bending and snapping it respectively. Worn those simple bend and snap clips even before attending primary school. Remember seeing photos dated in 1950s of ladies wearing such bend and snap hair clips. Hmmm, am wondering who invented the clip. He/she should be given a Nobel Peace Prize for helping us cope with bad hair days and keep those wild frays in check. Each measures 9cm length and 2.5cm width. S$3.90 each.
