From statement clips to vintage-inspired looks — your guide to accessories that elevate any hairstyle.
The right hair accessory can transform an ordinary hairstyle into something that feels considered, personal, and complete. A well-placed claw clip. A hand-painted barrette. A vintage scarf tied just so. These are the details that move a look from fine to memorable — and they require almost no time once you know what you՚re doing. This site is dedicated to the art of hair accessorising: what to choose, how to wear it, and how to source the pieces worth keeping.
We cover everything from the revival of vintage accessories in contemporary styling to the practical mechanics of which clips actually hold different hair types securely through a full day.
What We Cover
- Claw clips and barrettes: The specific shapes, sizes, and materials best suited to different hair thicknesses and lengths — because a clip that works beautifully for fine hair will slip right out of thick hair.
- Scarves and ribbons: The classic ways to wear them (half-up bow, full wrap, braided ribbon, headband style) and the modern variations that make vintage techniques feel current.
- Vintage styling techniques: Pin curls, finger waves, victory rolls, and the classic updos of the 1940s and 50s — with modern tutorials that make them achievable at home.
- Headbands and crowns: From fabric headbands to embellished crown accessories, how to choose, position, and style them for different face shapes and occasions.
- Sourcing great accessories: Where to find quality vintage and vintage-inspired pieces, what to look for in terms of construction, and which contemporary brands are making accessories worth investing in.
