The 3 Most Popular Trending Hair Accessories

Three hair accessory trends we loved: hair pins, barrettes in new shapes and sizes, and the return of the mini claw clip.

Hair accessories have become a beautiful way to express personal style. Here are three of the most popular trends of 2023, with video tutorials to help you wear them.

Luxury hair accessories

Luxury hair accessories have grown in popularity, with large fashion houses creating designer hair clips. Something we share with many of these high fashion pieces is the material used to make them: cellulose acetate.

Cellulose acetate is a flexible material that is far more reliable than easily broken plastic alternatives. Hair accessories are an extension of your style, giving your hair an adornment that sets you apart, and our pieces offer designer quality and style.

Our French hair clips are made by a family business in the small French town of Oyonnax, which has been making hair clips since 1892. Oyonnax is historically known as the town of hair accessories, and its craftspeople have dedicated their lives to the art of making them. Our French Handmade hair claws go through a three-step polishing process for a beautifully smooth finish.

Trend no. 1: hair pins

Hair pins have been around for a long time, but in recent years they have grown in popularity as a quick, easy way to secure your hair, and a gentle alternative to tight hair elastics. Hair pins can hold all of your hair in a firm but comfortable updo, or create a half-up style. Choosing the right hair pin for your hair type is important.

Different lengths and shapes are designed to work best with different hair types. You can find the right hair pin for you in our guide, TEGEN's No.1 Hair Pin: A Guide For All Hair Types.

Trend no. 2: barrette hair clips

Barrettes have been adored for years, and recently new shapes, styles and sizes have been created, including arched and waved barrettes for thicker hair, and smaller rectangular barrettes for securing sections of hair rather than putting all of your hair up in a French pleat.

Trend no. 3: mini claw clips

Mini hair claws have made a popular return, with styles that pair two or more mini claws together to secure the front sections of hair. Once associated with younger girls, mini hair claws have been reinvented by women as a subtle yet stylish addition to their hairstyles.
