The Modern Fascinator: Turning Gift Ribbon into Everyday Hair Drama

I’m wearing these:

dang near everyday. I love the texture, color, and dramatic umph!

Want in on the fun?

Go to a gift section near you – look for gift ribbon that is cloth textured. There are often lots of colors to choose from! Have fun filling up your cart!

Confession: I have a drawer filled with gift ribbon in my bathroom!

To style the ribbon into your hair – clip off the adhesive part that is used for going on packages. You’ll be left with ribbon that has a staple in the middle to keep it all together. Use bobby pins to secure the ribbon to your hair!

You can mix and match ribbon colors! Create fun layering in your hair!

You can put the the ribbon as an adornment around your ponytails and buns…

and if you like to wear scarfs as headbands – you can clip ribbons onto that too!

Right now there are lots of fun ribbons available with it being the holiday season! So now is a great time to build up your stash!

I scooped these ones up last week. 🤭

Aren’t they giving off winter and ice skating vibes?!?

You do not have to wait for a “special occassion” to wear these ribbons! I wear ribbons nearly everyday in my hair! It makes me feel like everyday life is a party!!! It’s my take on a fascinator, except modern!

My daughter, Queen Glory, who is four years young has gotten in on this playFULL hairstyling too! It’s a great way to play with the girlies in your life!

If you’re like – ehh, I’m not ready to wear ribbon in my hair – consider incorporating them into your closet!

Mhm, these ribbons can be used to decorate dress straps! The color combinations are endless!!! Just take the ribbon and wrap it around your straps – make a loop, give a tug, and the ribbon will fit snug around your straps!

Stack the ribbons! You can instantly elevate that little black dress in your closet with pops of color!!!

Now, you may feel more comfortable easing into this ribbon life by incorporating it into a “fancy outing” look!

That’s totally, fine! Try it out that way first … to break the ice – and perhaps that will lead you to rocking ribbons more often!

When you give this a try! Let me know and tag me in your pics on social media – @LonisaMari
