I have my hair in a chin-length bob – it’s convenient and easy to style, but sometimes I do fancy a change. When your hair isn’t long enough to put up or tie back, one way of varying it is to decorate it with slides. All but the very shortest crop can use slides, so I’ve picked some really cool ones out for you.

No, I’ve never seen pink owls either. But just because they’re not found in nature, doesn’t mean they can’t be found on your head. These cute little owls would be great for a kooky look, and would also make a good present for a little girl.

More owls! This one is hand-sewn in felt, and can be made from your selection of colours. I think it would also make a really cute decoration fastened to a bag.

Nature knew what she was doing when she made the peacock’s gorgeous feathers, so why not grab a bit of that beauty for yourself. You could try chasing a peacock around, or you could buy this pair of slides. I suggest that the second option would be much easier.

I love vintage pieces, and these slides are made from vintage glass. Isn’t the colour beautiful? So is the detailed flower and leaf design. These would look lovely for a special occasion.
Do you love hair slides and bobby pins? What is your favourite design? Do you like pins for their decorative value, or do you use them to be practical?
