Ah headbands…my best friends for bad hair or lack of inspiration days!<\/h2>\n

It immediately gives a very sophisticated effect to my hair style even if it only took me 10 seconds to do. A very French definition of how to do your\u00a0hair, \u00a0effortlessly!;)<\/p>\n

I’ve been letting my hair grow for several years, and on top I used to have a fringe, so an ally to help me do my hair is always welcome.
\nSo, now I’ve got used to putting headbands in my hair, it has really become a part of “my style” (I put quotes because it makes me feel like a fashion blogger to say it like that, and I’m not, lol) .<\/p>\n

So of course, I’v also bought lots of fun hair accessories at H&M and cie, but the problem is that I’m sure to find the items I picked there on the head of everybody, so I was looking for some headbands that are\u00a0more original, without having to pay a fortune (that I don’t have anyway).<\/p>\n

This is how I came across Ad\u00e9li Paris.<\/p>\n

Ad\u00e9li Paris, who are they?<\/h3>\n

Ad\u00e9li Paris was created by\u00a0two girls, Adela\u00efde and Lisa who decided to set-up\u00a0their own hair accessories company in 2011, Ad\u00e9li Paris<\/a>. One of them worked in fashion and the other in advertising, but they are both passionate about headbands and they have a very retro inspiration, very “La Belle Epoque”\u00a0(end of 19th century).<\/p>\n

I say “inspiration”, because their headbands\u00a0are very modern and trendy!
\nShapes and colors are carefully chosen, true thought and creativity goes into each headband.
\nMoreover, the entire collection is produced in France (cocorico!), guaranteed quality and “savoir-faire” (oh yeah!). (The entire world think that French are arrogant, I really don’t understand why! ;))<\/p>\n

What I can tell you is that I have had some of their headbands for around\u00a03 years and they are still perfect and that is priceless when you really love a hair accessory.<\/p>\n

About the\u00a0prices, they go for\u00a0between 20 and 40 euros (120-180 AED) depending on the item. For something made in France, it is a good price.<\/p>\n

Ad\u00e9li Paris, what is it?<\/h3>\n

They are lovely headbands, each more beautiful than the previous\u00a0(good luck to choose only one) (me, I couldn’t\/can’t).<\/p>\n

Frankly, they work all on their own. I usually wear them\u00a0as a regular headband or if I want to make a little more effort, I roll my hair in with the headband,\u00a0to create\u00a0a sort of retro hair-do in\u00a0less than 10 seconds.<\/p>\n

But it can also accessorize a bun or a braid, it’s really versatile. And it works for all \u00a0hair types, short or long, straight or curly!<\/p>\n

Here are some examples of what can be done with them: (click to enlarge the image)<\/p>\n

Cute, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

One of my favorite hairstyles is this one, ultra-simple and ultra-efficient, with the Loubna headband\u00a0(a classic model\u00a0available every year), that I have in silver:<\/p>\n
