The One Hair Accessory That All Our Fashion Friends Are Wearing Right Now
So far this year I've rounded up the team to give the prettiest headbands and hair clips a trial run, looked to France for cool new ways to wear hair accessories and uncovered a trending new hair clip brand that London girls are wearing. Yes, my love of hair accessories in 2019 is strong, which is why I'm so excited that the fashion set is embracing a new one—the hair scarf.
Chic, elegant and oh so stylish, the humble hair scarf looks set to be the hair accessory of the summer—and I can see why. It's just so versatile. Wear it twisted around a bun or to top a half-up, half-down style; weave it into a braid or wrap it over your roots to disguise second-day hair. The possibilities are endless.
