Discover how to achieve the perfect hairstyle with these hair accessories this summer. We’re sharing all our secrets to expertly handle hair clips and scrunchies to perfection!

Fashion is a never-ending cycle! Who could have predicted the strong return of 90s hair accessories? After being featured on all the runways of the latest Fashion Week, scrunchies and other hair clips are flooding social media. 

This year, we remain body positive, saying goodbye to the perfect body… and hello to the perfect hair!

What are hair accessories?

Rhinestone clips

The BCBG look is back… and trendy with the return of the little hair clip.

Whether it’s rhinestone, bling-bling branded, or baroque, the hair clip is on the heads of all influencers!

In a softer version, clip a small rhinestone clip to one side of your hair.

For an extra touch of fun, don’t be afraid to layer two or three clips to add a more playful vibe to your hair.

The clip is the accessory of summer, so let’s have fun with it and adapt it to all our moods!

The headband

Sunday mass enthusiasts don’t have a monopoly on headbands! A trendy hair accessory this year, the famous headband is making a comeback after being tucked away for (too?) many years. 

Popular since Roman times, the headband acted as jewelry to enhance one’s appearance. Its sexy image, popularized by Brigitte Bardot, faded away in the 90s. It was then deemed outdated, only worn by well-behaved, boring little girls from good families, who weren’t exactly in vogue.

We choose a padded and colorful headband from ASOS DESIGN …in 2022, the headband is no longer timid!

The scarf knot

With its sexy and light effect, the scarf knot is the accessory you want to wear during a car ride to the beach.

It’s the pattern that makes all the difference. Choose it pale or blue or white for a romantic effect. If you want to add a pop to a too-simple outfit, opt for dynamic colors, like red or gold.

Also match your scarf knot to the color of your eyes. 

Thus, a beautiful green will highlight hazel eyes, a white scarf will enhance emerald eyes. If you have blue eyes, opt for a turquoise color or in shades of pink.

Fashion bonus: How to wear the headband?

Similar to the scarf knot, the headband can be worn in two ways:

• As a headband: The front of the headband is placed on top of the head while the back is covered by hair
• In winter mode: The headband is placed on the head and can cover the ears (handy if it’s cold)

We love the spring headband from Dolce & Gabbana available at Modalova

The scrunchie

The scrunchie is back… and we choose it carefully!

Spotted on the runways of fashion week from top designers, the scrunchie is making a strong comeback in this summer’s trends. 

It can be worn retro in a messy ponytail while on vacation, romantic in a bun, or for a more hipster vibe, in a tousled bun on top of the head. 

Choose the luxury yellow sponge scrunchie from Prada or in the floral it-scrunchie version from Shein.

The 90s are back, but we can still skip the velvet scrunchie, which can stay in your closets!

Hairpins

Have you kept the plastic hairpins from your teenage years? Good call!

Since a few influencers have brought them back in style, the hairpin is the trendy accessory of this summer! 

From fluorescent pins reminiscent of the 90s to more chic acrylic resin ones from the shop Alexandre De Paris, the choices are abundant!

For a night out, opt for a large golden pin that highlights a flawless hairstyle.

How to stand out even more?

Playing with clips or a scarf knot to spice up your outfit is great, but making your own accessories or personalizing them is even better. We explain how to reveal your personality by having fun with DIY in this article

Beautiful for complementing a little summer outfit, to soften a neckline, or to add energy to an outfit, hair accessories are the trend to follow right now. 

Embrace the carefree and colorful look of the 90s on the beaches this summer with hair accessories!
