Ribbons anyone?

Within a single day today, i noticed up to 10 or more "fake ribbons".

Is this a rising fashion among teens??

Let me explain. More Girls is see are wearing RIBBONS in their hair.
Not those REAL ribbons that you actually use to tie your hair and finish off in a cute little bow knot, but FAKE ribbons that are actually plastic hairbands or hairclips with a ribbon ornament design on top.

I intend to ask my friends about this rising trend im observing.

Is it supposed to look cute? or a leftover from younger days?

Cos those i saw wearing the ribbons are either from my university, or do not look any younger than 15.

OR is it some sort of "act cute" thing?

ai............not having a sister to ask this sort of thing is a huge disadvantage....
