All the pieces chosen for this list are generally pretty easy to find and are fairly inexpensive, so go ahead and stock up on these statement-making hair accessories.
Silk Scarves
Silk scarves have been having a moment recently, whether they’re worn on a handbag, around your neck, or even in your hair. It adds a chic yet laid back style to your outfit, and is a perfect addition to any beachside look (just ask Camila Coelho!).
Extensions
A look through Aimee Song’s (of Song of Style) Instagram page shows that this mega-influencer is a fan of extensions for playing around with length. Here, her normally lob-length hair has been styled into a sleek low ponytail, while also providing her a change in colour with its ombré tint.
Scrunchies
The once ridiculed hair accessory of the 80’s and 90’s has made its triumphant return! They add a fun pop of colour or pattern to your hair, and are also much gentler on locks than traditional rubber elastics. Here, Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad matches her scrunchie to her neon pink top for maximum outfit impact.
Headbands
Any self-proclaimed Millennial will tell you that they’ve had a headband phase or two in their style history. Whether it’s a Blair Waldorf-esque satin band, or a sportier style like the one seen here on Bella Hadid, expect this style to stick around for seasons to come.
Barrettes
Candy coloured barrettes are no longer just for little girls, as Leandra Medine of Man Repeller knows. This trend is one that can easily take you into the designer realm, with Gucci, Chanel, and other luxury retailers offering their version of bedazzled hair clips. It’s certainly a look that’s a little nostalgic, but definitely ready for 2018.
Bobby Pins & Clips
This final accessory is one that you’ll likely already have at home. Strategically placed bobby pins and hair clips work equally well for daytime as they do for a glamorous night out. For your big event, take styling cues from Danielle Bernstein of We Wore What and add them to a loose wave hairdo.
