I went to Coachella 2026, and all I got was a newfound interest in hair accessories (and Bieber fever, of course). Truthfully, I never really cared about what went in my hair. I’d toss in a claw clip before a workout class or hide my greasy bangs behind a headband. But intentionally designing a whole look around a hair accessory? Never. But at Coachella, the tides changed for me. Everyone was covered in crochet caps, bandanas, and cute clips that actually made the outfit, not just hid their dirty hair (but ya know, they do that too). Honestly, summer 2026 won’t be so much about haircuts and color trends; it’s all about what you clip, tie, and stack into your strands instead.
I can’t stop wearing them. It’s the easiest way to lazily do my hair but look like I’ve spent way more time on it. And they don’t require any heat to look good—a necessity in high-temp weather. Need some inspo? Discover all the biggest hair accessory trends I’m excited about this summer, and shop my favorites from Emi Jay, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and more.
I kept seeing these worn as belts, then at Coachella, everyone had them tied like a bandana around their head. The tassels are a fun textural add for any hair length too.
Like a striped beach towel, these instantly feel summery and fun. And there are about a zillion colors to choose from.
Crochet and chains excite me.. or whatever Rihanna said! Whether it’s a cap, a hood, or a scarf, both sheer fabrics make your look immediately cooler. I expect we’ll see these all festival season. (I wore my crochet cap to Coachella already, FYI.)
It’s not summertime without accessories that remind you of the sea. There is no shortage of shell clips out there, but I’m anticipating even more nods to the beach—with fish, pearls, starfish, and more adorning barrettes, extensions, slides, claw clips, and more.
Call it the Zara Larsson effect, but a tropical flower in your hair instantly gives “Midnight Sun” energy, whether it’s a slick back, half-up, or integrated into beachy waves.
She’s beauty, she’s grace, her hair’s covered in lace! I love how these accessories can go demure and soft, or can easily be edged up in a boho look, depending on how your hair’s styled underneath.
