Velcro ~ The New Scrunchie!
Signed, A Dear Pink: Brain damage? I doubt it, but you might want to consult your
doctor about that issue. What I can address is the question of
whether or not yours is a proper fashion statement. While the
following from Dorothea Zack Hanle's Hairdo Handbook doesn’t
mention Velcro, it does suggest that you can be creative with
whatever you put in your hair. I must confess I’m having
a hard time picturing how the Velcro is being used, but I’m
sure it’s lovely. 1964: Finishing Tricks with Hair Ornaments
Hair ornaments may be bought or made by your own hands at home.
There’s an etiquette to wearing them too. Jewels, sequined
and glittery ornaments are strictly ‘after-five’ dressing.
For daytime - at the office, at school - the flat bow, tailored
headband, or simple gold barrette is acceptable. Artificial or
real flowers are best for special-occasion evening wear - with
a few exceptions: at the beach, for outdoor afternoon parties,
patio or terrace luncheons. Feathers, tiny plumes, circlets of
gold leaves - these also belong in the dressier, after-five realm. Source:

Glitter
and froufrou, jewels and baubles, everything from simple little
flat bows to elaborate tiaras abound on the counters wherever
hairdoing accessories are sold. The prettiest hairstyle in the
world can often be that much more exciting and lovely with a little
‘top dressing.’ And for the party-bound coif, a touch
of added glamour, a bit of fun, a dash of sparkle is almost a
fashionable ‘must.’
