The claw clip has had the girls in a chokehold since 2018, becoming a hot favourite of everyone from wellness queen Gwyneth Paltrow to models Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. It comes as no surprise given the resurgence of '90s style and the sheer convenience of this accessory that makes it a hit. Retain the beauty of your natural hair texture, twist the entire mass of your hair, turn it upwards, attach the claw clip to the back of your head and voilà , you're done! Plus, this hairstyle is super easy to take from day to night.
Diamond Barrettes

Get ready to look like a modern-day angel with a smattering of diamond barrettes in your hair that are sure to make you the centre of attention in any room. Celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess shares a hot tip, "If you use multiple star and moon inspired barrettes, you can create a floating crown at the back of your head." Sparkly accessories such as these look best when styled with mermaid inspired waves, which you can get using a curling wand that has three-pronged barrels. Our advice? Make sure to use Livon Damage Protect Serum before applying heat to your hair!
Glam Scrunchies

Scrunchies are back and this time, they're more maximalist than ever. From pop sensation Selena Gomez to beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, all your favourite it-girls are sporting the accessory of the season. A ponytail, messy bun or even at the end of your braid is the perfect spot for this adornment-try one made of organza or satin. Our favourite is an oversized metallic scrunchie if you're looking for something unconventional.
Headbands With A Twist

Leighton Meester brought the headband to the forefront of pop culture as she adorned luxe versions episode after episode playing Upper East Side Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl back in 2007. Then, Prada sent models down the runway sporting oversized headbands in 2019, revitalising the cult favourite accessory. Even today headbands continue to reign supreme. Look for standout versions made of sculpted metal or a terry cloth luxe version. As you leave your locks down, be sure to use a generous helping of Livon Anti-Frizz Serum to give your hair much needed gloss and keep the flyaways under control.
Embellished Ponytail

What's better than a practical yet statement ponytail you ask? An embellished version, we say! Everything looks better with rhinestones and your hair is no exception. This is the perfect accessory, no matter what your hair texture is. Pull your tresses back into a low braid or ponytail, making sure to keep it loose and natural. Add multiple strings of small stones or one large string of big stones running through the entire hair mass for that party season sparkle.
Hair Scarf

Silk scarves are the most versatile accessory in every girl's wardrobe. You can wear it as a top, tie it to the handle of your bag for a pop of colour and our favourite, you can wear it in your hair either as a bandana or as an embellishment. Hair accessories expert Kristin Ess suggests weaving it into your braid. Pro tip? Be sure to pick a scarf that stands out in contrast to the colour of your hair.
Gold Accents

Gold hoops are such a style staple and we're on a mission to make similar toned accessories a hairstyling favourite too. Think vintage inspired, pearl centred flowers dotting your delicate waves. Our favourite hair accessory? Mixed metal hair jewels that make a statement.
