When it comes to doing my own hair, I have zero patience for anything elaborate. Even the thought of the time it takes to curl or straighten my hair (for context, my hair is rather thick, and I am blessed with a decent wave pattern) is enough to make me tie it up and out of the way. This laziness on my part is largely the reason I've become obsessed with hair accessories.
With the power to make your hair look pretty with minimal effort, hair accessories have become my go-to when my outfit feels a little plain or I need a quick switch-up. So you can imagine my delight when, a couple of years back, hair accessories became a priority on the style agenda—and they've remained such ever since.
So as we start thinking about autumn dressing from head to toe, it's time to shine a light on the hair accoutrements that will take centre stage this season. From the new '90s add-on to a fresh take on statement headbands, below you'll find an edit of the best fall hair accessories fashion girls are dedicated to right now.
Super Scrunchies
Supersize and souped-up scrunchies are set to eclipse basic versions. Fluffy, sheer organza fabrics are especially popular on Instagram, and they make such a pretty addition to any autumn outfit.
Shop the trend:
Bandanas
Bandanas, scarves, and kerchiefs are showing no signs of slowing down on the accessory front. Fashion girls are even starting to match their outfit to their bandanas; a clever styling trick we love.
Shop the trend:
'90s Claw Clips
This one is my favourite of the bunch, and it's a lifesaver on days when I can't be bothered to fully style my hair. Sweeping it into a twist and securing with one of these cool clips is an easy '90s-inspired hairstyle that's also popular with celebs such as Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber.
Shop the trend:
Crown-Like Headbands
We hadn't seen many headbands in a while, so these royalty-worthy crowns are a much-welcomed update. Scrunched texture, padded velvet, and pretty floral patterns are just some of the details that make these headbands stand out.
Shop the trend:
Pretty Pins
Lastly, pins! Adorned with pretty pearls and dazzling diamanté embellishments, autumn's wave of hairpins will quickly add a bit of glam to your everyday look.
