Growing hair - what to do in dreaded in-between stage?

[mitfordsisters]

I have been tying tights round my head which contains growing layers, but looks a bit ahem amateur. Anyone know where I can get nice hair accessories or any of you gone from short to long without looking like a hedge? My hair is straight and thick btw.

buy a fabulous hat -

tights?

Eh?

Lol at tights. Do you cut them or have the legs trailing down your back? Try Claires for scarves, hairbands etc. I've just got past this stage [smug]

I cut them up and knot them into a headband sort of thing. I use opaque coloured ones (without ladders where possible), but still - it's not a sophisticated look. I thought Claires Accessories was for tweeniies so have never gone in - will try it.

h&m and accessorize - and stop tying tights round your head unless you are auditions for a part in 'land girls go native'

I'm probably just being really thick but I'm still confused! You wear tights to look like hair? Does it work or do people think you have tights in your hair?

or accessorize

they call them 'bandos'

Just buy some fab big hair shampoo and don't forget to swish.

LOL!

oh my god. who is she? what possesses her?

just to clear it up, the tights right - chop off leg, and foot so you have a flat stretchy tube, tie in knot and then wear to hold hair back like an alice band, or bando (thanks mrsbadger voice of reason as usual)

and beaulocks - I would do big hair but my head is also very big - it's just not working

Ah, I get it. I thought you were using tights to look like hair.

How about going for a soft and silky look instead of the big hair?
