BOWS

Probably the simplest of the hair accessory trends to incorporate into your routine? Bows. Whether you go big or go dainty, use them as a hair-tie for a bubble braid or rock a half-up half-down style, bows look good on virtually anyone. And because they come in a wide variety of sizes, there are endless possibilities to create a polished, classic look.

SCRUNCHIE

This popular 80s hair trend is back, and it seems we’re not the only ones happy about it. Scrunchies are more of a fashion statement today than they were when they first made their debut (when people simply used them to get their hair out of their face at home), but this nostalgic style has proven to be both fresh and functional. Wrap one over a messy topknot or stack a few on the wrist for a ‘VSCO girl’ vibe.

PEARL ACCESSORIES

When pearl accessories (among other shiny hair ornaments) had a moment at London Fashion Week, we knew we were on to something. By nature, pearls add a sense of refined chicness to any look. While these looks may appear too intricate and challenging to achieve on your own, rest assure you won’t need your own stylist— a simple pearl-encrusted barrette, headband, or hair clip will have you feeling like the next trendsetter..

HEADBANDS

What was once meant for toddlers has now become a hair accessory trend your Instagram feed is likely all too familiar with. This season, headbands are dominating the hair scene, in part because it’s a foolproof way to up your hair game (even hairstyle-challenged folks can take part in it) and in part, because it gives us Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl vibes. We’re getting endless inspiration from celebrities and influencers alike who are making the perfectly placed band look chic, put together, and downright stylish. The beauty of this trend? Its versatility. Throw a headband on top of polished curls, a messy low bun, or even a high ponytail. And if you’re feeling fancy, you can double up on trends and opt for a pearl-studded or floral headband.
