Hair accessories are experiencing a resurgence, perhaps reaching their peak popularity since the early 2000s. For the past couple of decades, hair has been largely without adornments, except the claw clips we use in a hurry to throw hair up. As the coquette trend continues to gain more traction, dainty hair accessories are unsurprisingly riding on its coattails. We’re excited for the hair accessory renaissance, so we rounded up a few of our favorite finds.
