Just when you thought you had accessorising down, knowing how to introduce earrings, bracelets and other finishing touches to upgrade your ‘fit from the neck down, they go and make hair jewellery a thing.
That’s right, now you have to think with your head – literally. Hair accessories can be a real crowning glory. Let’s comb through the details of hair accessories a little deeper, including where to buy the best hair jewellery and accessories for short hair, long hair and every cut in between…
When did hair jewellery become a trend?
Scrunchies might not exactly be new but the (re)introduction of hair accessories has ushered in a whole new way of expressing oneself through their hair.
A show that’s popular with the TikTok crowd, Euphoria, could arguably be seen as one of the pioneers in bringing back hair jewellery and accessories. From Maddie matching her eye makeup to her hair accessories and the way the hair becomes an extension of their personality, it’s definitely a place to go for inspiration on hair accessories inspiration.
Other celebrities who have helped reimagine and reinvigorate the hair jewellery trend include the likes of Solange Knowles, famous for the colourful hair clips used on her album cover and other innovative styles.
How to style hair accessories?
The beauty of hair accessories are that there’s plenty of occasions and opportunities to play around with a new look.
Hair clips, slides and barrettes are great at making a bold statement, coming in different styles and designs, from elegant pearls to glitter and gaudy. Hair ties and scrunchies bring a sense of ‘retro 90s cool to your messy bedhead and no fuss ponytails and buns.
As for up-dos, finish off with glamorous headbands, hair combs and twist-in gems that are ideal for weddings.
Hair accessories for shorter hair
It might seem like most hair accessories are designed for long hair, but we’ve got plenty of options for the pixie cuts, cropped cuts and other short styles.
With ponytails and high buns not an option for people with short hair looking for a quick stye, you have to get a little more creative. Having some fun with your accessories can help with this - think statement clips and attention-grabbing headbands that both complement your style and have a practical function, keeping those short flyaway strands of hair in place.
