5 Must-Have Hair Accessories

Hair we go, the top 5 must-have hair accessories for Spring 2021. 

1. Claw Clip

At number one, the iconic oversized claw clip. These have been floating around in the bottom of your mom’s purse for nearly a decade and are just now seeing the light of day. Yay to that because this clip is so versatile it can replace the trusty baseball cap that we all throw on for our not-so-best-hair days yet it can also be styled beautifully on freshly blow-dried hair. This clip has been seen recently on influencers such as Hannah Meloche and all around campus. Snag one for yourself today by shopping online. Our favorites are from Urban Outfitters and Kōv

2. Butterfly Clips

Coming in at a close second are the ever so dainty butterfly clips. These will surely sweep you off your feet and make your heart flutter. They come in all different colors but the best variation we have seen is a pack of pastels, perfect for Spring! Small in size they add a nice but subtle feminine touch to any hairstyle.

3. Headbands

At number three, channel your inner @gab_nyc (aka THE Columbia University girl on Tiktok) and accessorize with a headband. Specifically a Lele Sadoughi headband. Prices vary as the brand offers headbands in solid colors, linen, faux leather, and even headbands adorned with shells and gemstones. The site truly offers something for every style and budget.

4. Bows

If you like it then you should put a… bow on it! Timeless and chic, the bow is an effortlessly elegant way to dress up any look. They can be DIY’ed using any string or ribbon you possess or can be purchased from many retailers. An Edge favorite is the L.Erickson satin bow scrunchie. Super soft to the touch yet strong enough to hold back all of your hair without leaving a crease.

5. Trucker Hats

Last but certainly not least is the trendiest hat on the market, the trucker hat. As seen on Miley Cyrus and Hannah Bucknam amongst others, the trucker hat is unique in that the back is typically made of mesh and the front stands tall due to a foam insert. It is a statement piece that elevates the funkiness of any outfit instantly. Some of our favorites are from Aviator Nation and Von Dutch.
