The One Hair Accessory That All Our Fashion Friends Are Wearing Right Now

So far this year I've rounded up the team to give the prettiest headbands and hair clips a trial run, looked to France for cool new ways to wear hair accessories and uncovered a trending new hair clip brand that London girls are wearing. Yes, my love of hair accessories in 2019 is strong, which is why I'm so excited that the fashion set is embracing a new one—the hair scarf.

Chic, elegant and oh so stylish, the humble hair scarf looks set to be the hair accessory of the summer—and I can see why. It's just so versatile. Wear it twisted around a bun or to top a half-up, half-down style; weave it into a braid or wrap it over your roots to disguise second-day hair. The possibilities are endless.

I adore how Michelle has weaved this printed hair scarf through her French braid to add a pop of colour. To try this at home, knot the scarf around a few strands of hair at the top of your head before you start braiding.

I'll be channelling Parisian AnneLaure at the beach this summer with this cute hair scarf twisted into her tousled topknot. If you're not a dab hand with hair accessories (like me) then there are plenty of scrunchie scarf options out there too, like this one from Urban Outfitters.
