This article outlines some of the
must-haves for hair accessories you should have in your accessory collection, how to wear them, and when. Be it adding the oomph factor to that sleek bun or just keeping things simple with only a clip, we’ve got you covered.1. Hair Clips: Fun, Functional, and Fashionable
Why we love them:
From chic and minimalist to bold and statement-making, hair clips are back in a big way. Sleek and polished, or even just playful, versatile hair clips make work in less time.
Try one of these styles:
- Bobby pins will always be an eternal classic because of the functionality: pinning flyaways down, pinning bangs upwards-the list goes on. Coming in various colors, they range from matte black to metallic or jewel-toned, sure to go with anything.
- Huge pearl clips, rhinestone-studded clips, and colored acetate clips are just decorative clips that will do perfect for that pop of glamour when one wears her hair loose, on a ponytail, or on a half-up style.
- Jaw Clips: These are larger clips, which can hold up a chunky bun or fasten long hair in their place. They have returned to both minimalist and statement designs; they work perfectly for a quick updo or a sleek style.
How to style them:
But, remember hey: for one added glamourised clip on a few pearls – or one more of a single, ornate, gold hair clip, or a multitude on one side, Easy-going bohemian – the clips used throughout the head in multicolor hues all over the head; or, simply to be pulled out ‘to clip back in to place’ unruly strands around the top section on top of the head that go into the bun.

2. Scrunchies: Comfort Meets Style
Why we love them:
Scrunchies are the ’90s accessories that have come back with a vengeance! And, honestly, super comfortable, stylish, and soft on your hair-all great options when you want to ditch the common elastics. Besides, scrunchies come in a host of fabrics, from velvet to silk-you can choose one to your liking.
Styles to try:
- Velvet scrunchies add that nice feel of texture to your hairstyle-elegant, rich, and perfect for evening looks or chic casuals.
- Silk Scrunchies: While doing all the work in reducing hair damages and keeping your strands soft, they also do pretty well in adding sleek polished finishes to a ponytail or bun.
- Patterned Scrunchies: These have been so fun to add color into hair with. Go florals, polka dots, or animal prints to make a statement.
How to style them:
Just pop a scrunchie in to add volume and texture to an effortless, low-maintenance messy bun or ponytail. Wear the scrunchie with a high ponytail for that retro feel or tie one on when you need to pull part of your hair back, half up, half down.

Why we love them:
Headbands never went out of fashion and are the ultimate accessory to almost any occasion. They can add that touch of sophistication to the casual outfit or inject a bit of playful charm into a formal look. From simple and chic to embellished and dramatic, there are myriads of styles one can try in headbands.
Styles to try:

- Knotted Headbands: The knotted headband is the modern version of the old-school headband. It looks really awesome, with a retro-like design and adding texture and interest to any hairstyle. They look amazing in a laid-back boho look or even in an updo.
How to style them:
Wear it with a slim, metallic headband, hair down or in a slick ponytail for that classic and polished finish. Go boho or go vintage with a wide, knotted headband, loose waves, or messy bun.

4. Hair Bands: The Practical Go-To
Why we love them:
A necessary fashion detail in every day’s attire includes hair bands. While very functional, serving as the force that holds your hair together in a ponytail or in that ‘bun’, hair bands of today could do more to add oomph to your getup. The hair bands come versatile-from just plain elastic to the trendy cloth wrap-for casual and for full-on put-together hairstyles.
Styles to try:
- Fabric-Wrapped Bands: These are fashionably easy to wear, and one can choose velvet, satin, or leather for that finished touch. They hold hair decently without being damaging to the hair.
- Charmed Elastic Bands: In case something more unusual is desired, then hair bands with a little decorative touch of pearls, charms, or bows add some personality.
How to style them:
Pull your hair back into a low pony or bun and secure with a hairband wrapped in fabric for an office-friendly but fashion-forward ‘do. If you pull for classier and polished hair, just make sure to bring out fully sleek hair with finishing touches by accessorizing-a hairband at the top of it all in your overall outfit.

5. Hair Pins and Barrettes: Elegant and Edgy
Why we love them:
Hairstyle accessories like hairpins and barrettes add an interesting touch to your hairstyle. Of course, they can be donned for functional reasons – such as to hold sections of your hair in place – but they actually are an amazing real fashion statement as well.
Styles to try:
- Barrettes can be the plain metallic one or bejeweled with crystals, pearls, and rhinestones, coming quite literally in all shapes and sizes. They are used for everything from tucking unruly bangs away to securing the hair sideways in order to display half-up looks, among many others.
- Gold or Silver Hair Pins: A small set of discreetly made metallic pins will work its magic on any hairdo. Keep a bun in place or all over for that in-vogue yet underplayed effect.
How to style them:
Try the asymmetrical look with different barrettes on one side of your head, or just pin back a section of hair for that updo feel that is just so polished. Across, in, do the simple, plain metal pins to add in that minimalist feel.
