The Mane - Hair Accessories

"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!!!

Colours from left to right:
Sweet Pink, Tangy Orange, Feisty Red, Regal Purple, Royal Blue, Emerald Green and Forever Black.





Ethnic Hair Ties

Suitable for both work and laidback weekends, these hair ties come with stones in Feisty Red, Nature's Turquoise and Forever Black. 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.

Pure White and Forever Black also comes with a pin that double up as a brooch or accessory to a belt/necklace. Measures 6cm in diameter (from the back). S$3.90each.





Dainty Bow Hair Ties

Absolutely cute! Show-off your playful side! The slim, leather-like bow is prim and proper, yet a little wild with the shine. Alchemist Gold measures 9cm and Eloquent Silver measures 8cm. S$4.90 each.





Ballerina Satin Bow Barrettes

This is very ballet, very Korean. The large satin bow barrette is great for a ponytail or a bun. Width of bow is 12.5cm and a large barrette clip that measures 8cm. Comes in Pure White, Sweet Pink and Forever Black. S$7.90 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.
