Best Hair Accessories to Try On Curly Hairstyles

Fabric Headwrap or Scarf

Both protective and stylish, a headwrap or scarf takes curly hairstyles, especially updos like the above, to the next level for both casual and formal looks alike.

Fancy Headband

Dating back to ancient times, headbands were used to hold hair in place. Today, it serves both a functional and decorative purpose. Channel the Flapper movement from the ’20s (or revisit that festival look) and glam up your hairstyle with an adorable headband, or go bohemian chic with a floral headpiece for your crown.

Pins and Barrettes

Gone are the days when pins and clips were only used to keep your style in place. This accessory is a functional prop that adds a simple yet statement-making update to your hairstyle. 

Scrunchie

The scrunchie has been a mainstay in modern hair history. Take your updo to new heights with a jazzy hair tie or ponytail holder and allow your curls to hang down. These elastic bands come in handy for hairstyles both short and long. With so many styles and options, the opportunity to add some character to your curly pony is endless!

Charms

Normally used to adorn braids or dreads—as shown by African cultures for hundreds of years—charms are also great accessories for curly hairstyles. Snap these pliable clips onto your strands. The key here is strategic placement: try to spread them out evenly across your braids for a uniform look.
