It’s officially September and you know what that means: it’s back-to-school season! And whether you’re actually heading back to the classroom or simply looking to update your look for the new season, September is the perfect month to hit the refresh button and try something new—particularly when it comes to your hair. If you’re not quite ready to experiment with a new cut or switch up your color though, don’t worry. This season’s biggest beauty trend is not only super flattering for all hair types but also 100% non-committal. That’ right—we’re talking about hair accessories.
After having what can only be described as a full-on moment earlier this year, hair accessories have once again returned to the forefront this season, this time with an array of school girl-inspired styles perfect for finishing off your new back-to-school look (or you know, your school drop-off look).
