Worn in your hair like a hair band, ala Orlaith from Big Brother

I'm thinking yes.

yes.

dropinthe · 11/08/2005 09:33

I like-very cool for summer keeping your fringe off face-I,however,have short hair, so no can do!

??

Hattie05 · 11/08/2005 09:35

Only if you are a stunning model like Orlaith. and if you need them to keep your bleached hair in place as kermal suggested.

northerner · 11/08/2005 09:36

Ooh very pertinent. I am growing my hair and it's at that annoying, big wild mess, no stylee stage at the moment and I was thinking about one of these. I don't know who Orlaith is but I guess you mean the ones that look a bit like a pair of knickers on your head. Where would I get one should the court of MN decide they are acceptable head apparel?

northerner · 11/08/2005 09:37

Claires Accessories have loads atm

Thanks, Northerner - I think I might get one (even if I only wear it in the house).

yes, if you have a pretty face
I used to know a woman who wore a pair of tights round her head, that was a NO!

Hattie05 · 11/08/2005 09:40

Well then i think you'll look great

dropinthe - the Plymouth Brethren are a religious group whose women always cover their heads.

Of course,I knew that!

moozoboozo · 11/08/2005 09:42

Oh, PB.

I taught in a school in Bath where one of the kids was from the PB. He wasnt't allowed to watch tv, and was bullied horribly by the other kids

are silent during labour as well

northerner · 11/08/2005 09:44

Just ordered this one

Ah, Cod I know what you mean now. We have a few round here. The women have really long hair and wear scholls with white socks. More of a bandana than a head scarf though IMO.

Lush scarf! I like that site-have added it into my shopping box in favorites-the one that goes on forever!

moozoboozo · 11/08/2005 09:54

Nice scarf, but I think if I started wearing one, they'd swiftly go out of fashion.

moondog · 11/08/2005 09:55

Shall I take a bulk order now ladies???
Plenty available here in the wilds of Eastern Turkey.

Tinker · 11/08/2005 09:56

They're very Ann Leslie in her 70's Daily Mail photo

Ooh - love that scarf northerner. I can visualise you now...you are already wearing it with flowing locks and a serene expression on your face

PB - a girl on my university course was a member - complete with sensible shoes, A line skirt and hanky on head. Have no issues with the dress code - unless you are easily upset and embarrassed by it. She tried so hard to fit in but stuck out like a sore thumb. Her rather niave view of life and limited social skills/restricted life code meant that she left after only a few weeks, poor girl. Hope she met a nice like minded lad and found a happier life than she was living when I knew her

northerner · 11/08/2005 12:49

Just ordered a sequiny sparkly one for evening wear.

Trinny and Susannah would be proud.
