The best and boldest hair accessories for Spring 2024

We all know it: hair is everything. It’s the difference between a good and a bad day, and as such it can make or break an outfit. This is where hair accessories come in: this year they’re not just anonymous, purely utilitarian hair ties and bobby pins, but statement pieces in their own right.

In 2024 a ponytail isn’t just a ponytail: read on to discover our four picks for the best and boldest hair accessories to rock this spring.

We can’t talk about accessories trends for 2024 without mentioning bows. Since the dawn of the coquette aesthetic in 2023, bows have been used to adorn braids, half-up-half-down looks, and even accessories like handbags. A bow is the perfect romantic, girly touch to any look.

Scrunchies are back in style for 2024, and their demand has already increased by 90% here on Stylight. The 2024 version is an XXL, bold reinterpretation of the humble scrunchie: bright colours, graphic shapes, and unexpected materials like lace and gingham cotton are all part of the trend.

Speaking of unusual materials, knit and crochet hair accessories are another big trend for 2024. Knitted and crochet scrunchies are at the forefront, followed by thin hair ties, headbands, bandanas, and—you guessed it—bows. This trend continues the winter’s balaclava craze: if you’re one of many who picked up fibre arts during lockdown, this is your time to shine.

Ponytails have received the ultimate upgrade: jewel-like gold and silver pony cuffs are the most sophisticated way to adorn your updos. These large cuffs conceal a regular hair tie and give the illusion of an actual bangle holding your hair up. They’re the perfect finishing detail for every refined look.
