If you thought hair accessories were only for longer lengths, think again. Below, we’ve rounded up our favourite pieces specifically for shorter hairstyles…
If you’ve been stalking the Copenhagen Fashion Week street style pics as much as we have been, you might’ve noticed there’s one thing all the fashion girls are wearing right now: oversized hair accessories.
If you’ve got a bob hairstyle, you might assume you’re already excluded from this adornment hair trend. While XXL scrunchies and oversized bows look great on someone with long, luscious locks, trying to play around with hair accessories when you’ve hardly got enough hair to pull back into a ponytail can be tricky.
Thankfully, there is a way that you can still get in on the trend because not all hair accessories require extra long lengths to play with. From oversized scrunchies that’ll add some oomph to your teeny-tiny ponytail to claw clips and headbands galore – here are nine hair accessories specifically for bob hairstyles that we’re loving right now…
