Getting ahead

We’ll be seeing plenty of headbands and turbans this year according to the fashion pundits and spring/summer catwalk shows. Already a big trend in Paris, hairbands in soft stretchy fabrics not only keep hair in place but worn over the ears can add a Gatsyesque twist to an otherwise simple outfit. A hidden bonus is their root covering ability – a godsend for those of us eeking out our colour until payday.
