In fact, thin headbands are more fashionable than wide headbands for spring summer 2021.

2. PEARL BOBBY PIN

A pearl bobby pin is a must-have hair accessory for spring summer 2021. These pins are retro and very easy to style. Besides the chic factor, bobby pins make it super easy to place in your hair in elegant updos. Did we mention these pins have the longest fashion life span as well?

Make sure you store your pearl bobby pins properly, so as to not lose these smaller accessories easily.

3. Jumbo Scrunchies

Oversize scrunchies have been trending for a while, but this season, they have a new upgrade-  the cloud-like organza scrunchies. These larger than life hair ties are taking center stage in many celeb wardrobes. We love the ultra-sheer ones that are all but transparent. Then there are shinier, metallic varieties that are also topping the list of must-have accessories this year.With this trend, we'll see more oversized hair accessories.

Remember the black bows by Chanel? Well, who doesn’t! Another fashionable spring summer 2021 hair accessory is a black bow. A simple, elegant black bow is a chic accessory you simply must get if you keep wearing a ponytail. You can even wear a black bow at home with the sweats, and upgrade your loungewear. A black bow will make you look fly even in the most basic of clothes, effortlessly.

5. Jaw clips
