For cropped hair, headbands are an elegant alternative to an updo. Winona Ryder used this look when she was growing out her hair last spring. "This is a great way to dress up short hair," says celebrity stylist Oscar Blandi. "It's simple, not fussy and it accentuates the beauty of the face." If you have shorter layers, choose a wider headband; for sleek, straight hair, look for one with a built-in comb, solano sapphire.
