I'm all about
headbands. They save us from bad hair days and add a bit of preppy flair when needed. Yet there is one headband trend that has some people as divided as Red Sox and Yankees fans. That trend is the horizontal hippie headband look. We saw this trend starting last spring, and it still seems to be going strong. Repeat offenders include
Ashlee Simpson,
Nicole Richie,
Whitney Port and
Mischa Barton. Barton has even struck up a partnership with headband designer Stacey Lapidus, making, you guessed it... bejeweled hippie headbands. They have the unfortunate effect of making your hair look like a mushroom cap and make even the coolest hipster look they are trying too hard. Clearly, I'm not a fan, but what do you think of the hair-raising trend?
