DIY metal hair ring.




i first came across metal hair bands (or metal hair rings) on pinterest. i was instantly obsessed and began searching online for a place to purchase them... but with no luck! :( they were originally spotted on the runway at dries van noten fw2011 and h&m was (or is) carrying a similar metal hair accessory. 

but with the nearest h&m being 3 hours away, i made due by hitting up my local hardware store! genius. only $1.78 per piece too! to secure the ring, wrap hair with a thick ponytail holder (or several) to fill the opening, backcomb your ends and ta-da! a minimalist metal hair band.

xoxo, blair.

  1. that's really cool! i've actually never seen anything like that before. i'll have to try it. :) i was going to ask you, how do you take your indoor photos and get the light to look natural? like what settings do you use?

  2. pretty but strong, that's how it came out, I like it. I also like the outfit in previous post, Blair. Wish you could visit Europe again and color Europe street with your style:)
