Get the look: Camel heads

The Wall Street Journal recently highlighted a new hair trend among Emirati women.

‘Camel heads’ pack hairpieces and milk cartons under their hijabs (scarves covering the hair and neck) to give the impression of a full bouffant.

This sounds like the hair equivalent of bra-stuffing, but I admire the balance of culture, fashion and comfort (most often while I’m chasing sleep on a head of large rollers). I’d like a restful holiday, so I asked Valerie Finnegan Cahill, owner of Ikon Hair Design, how I could ditch the velcro and get Olivia Wilde’s beachy waves.
