After a couple of years of sporting laid-back looks, dressing up from head to toe is back in fashion! Think feel-good fashion, brighter hues and, most importantly, loud accessories. Just as your outfit shows off your personality and individual style, so too does accessorising your hair.
Whether you’re a fan of the scrunchie or prefer a stylish headscarf, there are numerous ways to primp your mane with the right elements. Ready to breathe new life into your hair? Well, here are the latest hair-accessory trends for spring.
Headscarves
Classic, chic and multi-functional, the headscarf is a must this season. Whether you’re after a bright, bold pattern or tend to steer more towards neutral tones, adding a headscarf can instantly elevate braids, messy waves or a high pony.
Style tip: Tie a little knot over your ponytail, or add texture to your hair with a silk scarf intertwined in a braid. You can even fold your scarf into an adorable headband. It’s all about creativity. And, if you tire of wearing them on your head, you can always tie one to your handbag.

Claw clips
Thanks to TikTok and Gen Zs’ attraction to the past, throwback hairstyles are having a moment, including the nostalgic 90’s accessory: the claw clip.
Celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Kendal Jenner have also given claw clips their stamp of approval, often relying on these practical accessories to keep their strands out of the way while running errands.
A practical addition to any modern-day wardrobe, claw clips are ideal when you need to swoop your hair into one quick snap as you head from work to the gym.
Style tip: Go for a half-up and half-down hairstyle, or twist your locks into a full updo secured with the clip.
Hair bows
Classically feminine and almost girlish, the hair bow appeared on multiple runways, from Giambattista Valli to Chanel. However, for 2022, size matters, and this season, the bigger, the better. Think luxe, exaggerated styles that can transform classic outfits into bold fashion moments.
Style tip: To complement the big personality of your bow, pair yours with a half-updo, a ponytail, or a low, messy style.
Headbands
From the Royals to Blair Waldorf and fashion insiders, nearly everyone is embracing the elegant aesthetic of a headband. With the ability to effortlessly conceal a bad hair day, keep your tresses out of your face, and make you look put together instantly, there is no denying that this tiny addition works. Plus, whether your go-to style is knotted, padded, embellished, bright or printed, this accessory looks great on everyone and works for all hair types.
Style tip: If you don’t have an actual headband, a knotted bandana or scarf looks just as great.
Scrunchies
Another throwback hair accessory enjoying a revival is the scrunchie; however, the fabric-covered elastics have undergone a serious style upgrade over the last decade and are bigger than ever.
So whether you adorn your ponytail with it for a flash of colour or wrap it around your wrist to complement stacked rings, this statement hair tie brings personality to even the most pared-back outfit.
Style tip: Keep your hairstyle simple – think a neat, low pony – as these scrunchies are a statement piece.
