The Trend: Low-Slung Velvet Hair Ribbons
The Breakdown: We're calling it now! The hair accessory everyone's going to reach for come Fall is a velvet bow. It's as sweet as it is sexy and is simple enough for anyone to pull off. Not to mention, you can pair it with everything from an ornate gown to a casual blouse. "It's a really soft, really pretty look that's very romantic," Guido Palau, lead hairstylist for Redken, said backstage at Tory Burch.
Get the Look: To get a silky, sleek ponytail, you'll want to start with freshly-conditioned, superhydrated hair. You can achieve this with a deep conditioning treatment and a heat styling cream that adds even more moisture to your locks. Once dried and styled, scoop your hair into a low ponytail and wrap a long, inky-black velvet bow around the base. For that effortlessly chic "I'm demure, but watch out!" effect, allow the bow to droop and let the ribbon ends cascade down your back.
