• headbands
• bows
• scarves and scrunchies
• hair extensions
• claw clips
• hair sticks

Pearl or Gem Hair Pins & Clips

I love pearls! There’s something so simple, yet elegant about pearl accessories, so when I saw the pearl hair clips below, I knew I’d have to find a way to feature them on the blog – aren’t they just stunning? Gem-encrusted clips and barrettes are also stunning for a chic hair accessory, while acrylic or metallic hair clips are great for everyday wear.

Hair Extensions

Before you dig out your accessories and prepare to give your hairstyle the ultimate finishing look, it’s important to make sure you have the right hair extensions on hand to get the job done. Hair extensions are a simple, no-fuss way to have your hair looking voluminous and lush each and every day.

No matter the occasion, it’s simple to add a couple of clip-in hair extensions to give your hair an instant lift. The key is quality! Look for Zala’s human hair extension range, as they’re made from 100% Remy human hair. These authentic human hair extensions blend in seamlessly with your existing locks, offering full and healthy-looking natural hair. Now it’s time to reach for one of these must-have accessories to complete the look!

Claw Clips

Are claw clips out of style? Never! This useful hair accessory is great for getting your hair up and out of the way in a stylish bun or twist fast! These are also perfect for creating easy heatless updos in the hot summer. A larger claw clip is great for holding up thicker hair while smaller claw clips are great for holding up thin hair or sections of your hair (e.g. for a half up half down ‘do).

Bow Hair Accessories

A bow is a traditionally elegant hair accessory for an elegant old money updo or a glamorous hairstyle for a special occasion.

Hair Scarfs & Scrunchies

A beautifully printed hair scarf is a great way to dress up a simple ponytail or bun. There’s the scrunchie version for girls on the go, or you can simply buy a silk scarf and tie it any way you like! Scrunchies are also a great way to tie your hair up without damaging strands.

Hair Sticks (a.k.a. French Pins)

Hair sticks can be a little tricky to use at first, but they look gorgeous and are great for creating a quick updo that’s elegant and stylish. If you have a hard time holding all your hair up with hair sticks,  you can always create an updo with elastics and then add a hair stick as a chic accessory. French sticks come in different lengths, so you can rock them whether you have long, short, thick or thin hair. 

Hair Cords + Coils

Hair cords are a great way to keep your hair out of your face while avoiding the damage that a regular hair elastic can cause. There are a ton of different hair cords available from the drugstore, such as Invisibobbles.

Embellished Headbands & Fabric Headbands

I don’t know about you, but when I was in my pre-teens I never left the house without a headband (my mom made them mandatory). Probably the most no-fuss must-hair accessories of them all, the headband is timeless and there are so many more stylish options to choose from now.
