5 Hair Accessories Fashion People Can't Stop, Won't Stop Wearing

Shopping mindfully is becoming a priority for many of us. We know this to be the case from conversations in our Facebook group So… Should I Buy This? As such, instead of investing in a new dress or full-blown outfit every time we find ourselves in a wardrobe rut, we’re continuously on the lookout for small updates to refresh our looks. Perhaps the easiest update of them all is a well-chosen hair accessory.

When it comes to hair accessories, it’s easy to gravitate towards what you know or pieces you may have tried in the past. Alice bands made a comeback a handful of seasons ago, bringing with them a dose of nostalgia that’s hard to resist, and they are still proving prevalent in fashion circles. That said, there is a host of other trendy hair accessories that have emerged since, which can be just as impactful.

As well as jewel- and pearl-adorned slides and barrettes, lately, we’ve been noticing many people really committing to the hair-accessory trend by way of ’90s-style claw clips, sweet silk hair scarves, and supersized scrunchies, too. So if you’re in need of a bit of hair-decoration inspiration, scroll below and take a look at some of the trendy hair accessories we love—we have a feeling you will, too.
