Fashion Girls Are Giving These 3 Hair Accessory Trends Their Seal of Approval

I've always loved a good hair accessory. From bauble barrettes to multicolored headbands, I began most days of my childhood with a selection of hair accessories. Headbands were the one accessory that gave me that "princess" moment I loved: I would slide them over my bouncy curls and immediately feel like I was wearing a crown (this was thanks to many hours spent in the company of my favorite Disney movies).
Over time, I discovered other ways to express myself, but when I was 13, I was introduced to the highly glamorous and scandalous world of Gossip Girl and immediately fell in love with Blair Waldorf. I related to her love of hair accessories and the unspoken role of headbands as a personal declaration of her rule over the student body of the fictional Constance Billard School. Today as a beauty editor, I'm still in love with luxury hair accessories that allow me to fully embrace my personal style or add a unique touch to all my outfits.
Luckily, hair accessories are making a major comeback on and off the runways. Sunnie Brook, a celeb hairstylist that has worked with clients including Elizabeth Moss, Ashley Park, and Rita Ora, gave me the scoop on which ones are trending. "We are seeing luxury brands expand into the hair accessory category," Brook begins. "Hair accessories are a quick and cool way to individualize any simple hairstyle and take it to the next level."
According to Brook, black leather headbands, plaid fabric headbands, jeweled headbands, oversize bows, and Y2K stretch combs are all hair accessories to look out for. "We are going to see claw clips slowing fading out [in addition to] butterfly clips, metal barrettes clips, skinny headbands, rhinestone word," she says. Ready to shop?

Headbands
Hair Bows
If you haven't shopped Free People's expansive collection of hair accessories, you're majorly missing out. This Jackson Bow Barrette, for example, is the epitome of sophistication with its oversize velvet bow and eye-catching rhinestone embellishments and beaded details.
Barretts and Hairclips
Tired of pearls yet? I'm not. Trust me—this set of two pearl barrettes by Anthropologie would look extra perfect when worn with the aforementioned Marcus Adler Pearl Bobby Pins.
