Bows

London Fashion Week queen of sparkly embellishments, Simone Rocha, sent models down the SS22 catwalk adorned with her signature rhinestone hair clips (and a few sparkly tiaras), while at Tom Ford, slicked back tresses were accessorized with chunky crystal slides.

Make a statement with a few oversized slides or load up with lots of little clips to create a gorgeous shimmering effect.

claw pliers

A massive trend from Tik Tok, claw clips (also known as bulldog clips) are Gen Z’s favorite hair accessory, especially if they have a tortoiseshell or marble pattern.

A stylish alternative to boring old hair ties, mini claws are perfect for creating cute half-up hairstyles, while full-length clips are the coolest way to part your locks on hot summer days.
