Just as you need different clothes for different occasions, and a variety of accessories to embellish them, you need a complete wardrobe of hair-setting helps and a variety of pretty things to set off your hairdos. Since you like to change your hairdo from time to time - to do it more formally for the prom, quite casually for a bowling date - you'll mid it easier if you have the right equipment neatly arranged in a tray or box. Your basic wardrobe should include all sizes.

Hair pieces After you've set your hair, how about dressing it up with some of the fun things that are available and fashionable? Little hair pieces that can add a special effect are easy to find, even in the dime store.

Match them to your own hair in daylight, and no one can tell that you didn't grow that bouquet of curls on the top of your head, or that the chignon is "store-bought"! Pin these gay deceivers to your own hairdo and brush and comb into place. If the wave or curl begins to come out, you can easily reset with pins and rollers.

A wardrobe of Velvet Glamour Bows will be something you use all the time. These come on clips or combs in an almost endless array of colors, to match your clothes, or to give a spice of contrast. Tuck these at your hairline, at the crown of your head, or wear several in contrasting colors down the back of your hairdo.

Aside from the glamour of a velvet bow, they help to keep your hair in order in a pretty and flattering way.

Jewels for your hair add a glamorous touch to your coiffure when you are all dressed up for a party. You will be able to find many priced so low you can have a box of gems fit to rival a pirate's chest of loot. Beauty pins, with Florentine gold finish can be bought set with pearls, or rhinestones or colored brilliants.

"Accent Combs," with smooth plastic teeth shaped to anchor them firmly, are available to tuck in your locks and hold them safely in place. You can have a whole wardrobe of these for every degree of formality. Pick from hearts and stars, bows and berries, butterflies, simple golden swirls and delicate leaf shapes. Not only are all these pretties glamorous, they keep your hairdo in place in the most becoming possible way.

All kinds of bandeaux are in fashion - in velvet, and ribbon, and plastic, and in delectable flower crowns. You'll want to collect these in all kinds of colors and textures.

Also use your own imagination. Men's neckties make wonderful hair bands. It could be a hobby to collect them from your beaux (good old fashioned word for steadies). Or swipe the one you like best from your brother or your father. Tie them in a flippant sort of bow on top of your head, or use the narrow part as a band around your hairdo and let the wider ends spread out as a hair-ribbon type of bow at the nape of your neck.

Look like a flower while your hairdo is drying. Divine nets and sleep caps can be found to cover a head full of rollers, clips and pincurls. Naturally, most of the time you won't appear in public with your hair in curlers, but if you have to, a cover is a fine thing to keep you from that shy-making feeling. And if you're a bride, well! No one wants that cold-cream-on-the-face or curlers-in-the-hair look. There are even sleep caps that can make you look like a veritable Brigitte Bardot.

Hairdo protectors for an evening out when the wind is blowing or the rain is pouring are also to be found. Frivolous nylon veil bonnets covered with sparkles and other pretties are available. That slightly rumpled scarf will be put away in the drawer forevermore when you take a look at a misty veil, spangled with dew-drops.

Explore the fun world of hair accessories and you will always look pretty!
