We’re all going to be wearing hair bows this summer
If you thought you’d retired your hair bow in high school, then have we got some breaking news for you: bows are back, baby. And in a big way too.
According to stats from Pinterest, searches for hair bows took a dip through 2024 and 2025, but that's about to change in 2026.
So dust off your nanna's ribbon collection, because as far as summer’s concerned the hair bow is one of this season’s hottest hair trends.
Scrunchie bows are in and we're looking back at the twee trends of the 2010s for inspiration too, so don't stress too much about trying to look picture perfect — you'll always be cute with a bow in your hair.
Need some inspiration to whet your appetite before you start online shopping for bows of your own? Lucky for you, the coolest girls on the Internet have already been seen sporting the girlish accessory...

Now, as for hair bows that have the BEAUTYcrew seal of approval? We’ve delved into the world of hair accessories (a very hard job, we know) to find you some photo-worthy picks to adorn that pretty little noggin of yours.
We recommend:
Damson Madder Garter Bun Wrap ($65 from The Iconic); ASOS Design Broderie Scrunchie with Ribbon Detail in Baby Blue ($21 from ASOS); and Lovisa White Fabric Satin Scallop Hair Bow Pack ($17.99 from Lovisa).
After a hair accessory with a little more versatility? Silk scarves & bandanas are the hottest hair trend this season.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
