Sometimes we find ourselves with a hair style that needs a little pizzazz…something that will take it from drab to fab.  The truth of the matter is that sometimes a simple accessory can help you reach that fab level.  “Flowers from Fatima is a young company, flourishing from Cincinnati, Ohio. Their boutique carries a range of chic floral accessories, from hair clips to wrist corsages, that are perfect for just about every occasion.  All pieces are made of silk materials, with the exception of few that are made from velvet.

Often we concentrate on keeping our hair clean and in tiptop shape, but how often do we consider the cleanliness of those items we use to style and accessorize our hair on a daily basis?  I’m talking about the combs, brushes, headbands, scrunchies, bandos and even the rollers used to do your rollersets each wash day.  How clean you keep these items is just as important as how clean you keep your hair.  Imagine washing your vehicle and then polishing it with dirt.  Maybe my analogy is a bit extreme but it’s the same thing when you use dirty accessories on a clean head of hair.
