I risk being called snobby, no doubt, but here’s my two cents: A tasteful tortoise-shell patterned barrette, as pictured with the up-do above, is one thing, but plastic hair clips (“claw” clips) are plain lazy, if you ask me, and just look like plastic junk in your hair, even in their more expensive iterations. That’s just me, I guess, but I think those things are best confined to pulling your hair back to wash your face or, if you’re pushing it, to wear to the gym. We’re ladies – we can learn to use bobby pins! Can you imagine Jackie O in one of those things? Uh, no.

Does anyone know how to create the hairstyle featured in the main photo (and again with the bottom photo)? I always end up with the basic jaw clip/sort of messy twist do and would love to get something sophisticated like this one!

[...] ditch the scrunchie. (You could burn it. Just a suggestion.) Instead, you may want to look into an understated claw or elastics. Now, let’s ditch the sweatshirt. We would recommend wearing a well-fitting t-shirt in a [...]

Brighton also has great, conservative hair accessories.
