Dear hair accessory manufacturers,

We’re sure you’ve heard the news from Paris, London, Milan and New York by now that plain, old naked hair is out. No matter what length the ladies are wearing it this season, hair accessories are the latest IT thing. So you will need to stock up on spools of elastic thread in bulk so you can get some amazing hair adornments to market ASAP. The top three trends this season include:

1. Stretchy Headbands—No two coifs or noggins are alike, so if you are manufacturing blingy headbands for market, knitted elastic to make them stretchy and comfortable is going to be essential. The top fashion houses are displaying a lovely assortment of bejeweled, floral, sparkly and minimalist satin stretchy headbands to keep hair up and out of the eyes.
2. Stretchy Hair Bows—If it’s not a band, it’s a bow; and it’s being worn in creative new ways to spark the imagination. Some bows stretch across the entire coif in a dramatic sweep that can clearly only be accomplished with elastic thread to hold the design. Still others use elastic to attach bows to a variety of styles that bring color and bling to every woman’s head.
3. Wild Adornments—This season, there is an “anything goes” feel to the hair on the catwalks. We’ve seen everything from wild floral and patterned head scarves with a distinct gypsy flair to shiny elastic ribbons woven into a variety of braids, buns and twists. Sparkles, leather, floral, feathers, beaded and bejeweled elements are all on display, and it’s a lot of fun!
