The resurgence of these classic hair pieces, with a contemporary twist, means that hair accessories look stylish whatever your age.

We spotted the once humble butterfly clamp on the catwalk earlier this year at London and New York fashion weeks. Now we are seeing lots of our favourite stylish celebs sporting this classic hairpiece with a modern twist.
Headbands are back this year! From being the height of fashion in the 1980s they’re are making a designer revival. Spotted everywhere from the catwalks to the red carpet at A-list weddings and parties. Yet headbands also work for a daily more casual look.
