“Don’t get me wrong—I am still very much into claws, clips, scrunchies, and headbands, but I’m having major fatigue with hair accessories that are overly ‘precious’ via butterflies, flowers, stars, etc. Instead, I think elegant, ballet-inspired adornments will emerge as a starring trend in 2024. We already know ribbons will be huge, but I also see chic hair sticks gaining major momentum. The playful, Y2K influence is still there, it just feels a little more chic and a little less juvenile than some of the stylized accessories we‘ve seen in the past year or two. (I’m obsessed with Tidal’s handmade sticks which are already becoming popular among celebrities and their hairstylists.)” —Erin Jahns
