WANT an easy way to elevate your summer wardrobe? Look no further than the spring/summer 2022 catwalks, where Nineties and Noughties-inspired hair was styled with all kinds of accessories.
From dainty slides and pretty bows to silky head scarves, there’s a look to suit every outfit – whether you want to put your locks in the spotlight, or disguise a bad hair day.
And now, thanks to TikTok, there are thousands of hair hack tutorials online to help you perfect your crowning glory.
These are the must-have hair accessories of the season...
BEAUTIFUL BOWS
At Giambattista Valli, sleek high ponytails were tied with crisp white bows, while at Chanel, black grosgrain ribbons sat atop side-swept waves.
Whether it’s a ribbon, headband or hair clip, make sure your big, beautiful bow takes centre stage.
HEAD SCARVES
One of the most hotlyanticipated shows of fashion month was Fendace, the Fendi/ Versace collaboration, where Noughties-style pokerstraight hair was topped with silk scarves in the fashion houses’ iconic prints.

JEWELLED SLIDES
At London Fashion Week, the queen f sparkle, Simone Rocha, sent models onto her SS22 catwalk wearing her trademark diamante hair clips (and a few twinkling tiaras), while over at Tom Ford’s show, smoothed-down tresses were
accessorised with chunky crystal slides. Make a statement with a couple of oversized slides, or load up with lots of little clips to create a gorgeous, glittering effect.
CLAW CLIPS
A massive Tik Tok trend, claw clips (also known as bulldog clips) are Gen Z’s favourite hair accessory, especially if they’re in a tortoiseshell or marble pattern.
A stylish alternative to boring old hair ties, mini claws are perfect for creating pretty half-up styles, while full-sized clips are the coolest way to get your
locks out of the way on hot summer days.
