Here’s your ultimate guide to the most on-trend and wearable hair accessories for Summer 2025 and how to style them with the Voga touch.
Why Hair Accessories Matter This Season
When temperatures rise, the way we style our hair changes. You’re more likely to pull it up, tuck it back, or want a style that keeps you cool and looking fresh. That’s where accessories shine they offer function and flair.
Hair accessories can:
Elevate everyday styles like ponytails, buns, and braids
Add personality and color to neutral summer wardrobes
Help manage frizz and flyaways in heat and humidity
Complement your haircut and hair color
Make low-maintenance styles feel intentional and fashion-forward
Whether you’re into bold statement pieces or subtle touches, we’ve got something for you.
1. The Elevated Claw Clip
Claw clips are no longer just a throwback, they're a chic essential. The latest iterations come in tortoiseshell patterns, metallic finishes, and soft matte hues, making them as stylish as they are functional.
How to style it: Sweep your hair into a low twist or French tuck, leaving a few soft pieces out in front for a casual, romantic feel. Our stylists can also show you how to incorporate claw clips into updos for a polished look that still feels fresh.
Pro tip: Claw clips pair beautifully with dimensional highlights or balayage, letting your color shine through the twist.
2. Silk Scarves & Bandanas
A silk scarf tied around your ponytail or wrapped like a headband instantly elevates your look. It adds movement, color, and texture while also protecting your strands from sun damage and humidity.
How to style it: Try tying a scarf around a low pony or bun, letting the tails flow freely. For a vintage vibe, fold it into a headband and tie it under your hair at the nape of your neck.
Voga tip: Ask your stylist about treatments to boost shine or book a gloss to make your scarf styles pop even more.
3. Pearl and Gem Hairpins
Delicate hairpins adorned with pearls, crystals, or stones are perfect for summer weddings, date nights, or when you just want to feel a little extra. They offer a subtle glam that catches the light in the most beautiful way.
How to style it: Stack a few pins on one side of your head to add asymmetrical interest, or tuck one into a messy bun for a touch of elegance.
Try this: Let our stylists show you how to place hairpins in a way that flatters your face shape and enhances your cut.
4. Wide Headbands
A wide, padded headband brings instant polish to even the simplest style. Whether your hair is down, in a bun, or just air-dried after a beach day, this accessory adds structure and sophistication.
How to style it: Smooth your hair back with a styling cream, add your headband, and you’ve got an effortlessly chic look. Choose a bright color or print for a pop of summer fun.
Bonus: Headbands are also perfect for growing out bangs or framing fresh layers.
5. Statement Barrettes
Oversized barrettes with bold textures, gold finishes, or playful shapes are having a serious moment. They’re both functional and fabulous, especially when you want to keep hair off your face without sacrificing style.
How to style it: Clip one just above your ear on a deep side part, or use two matching ones to frame a half-up style. It’s an easy way to make everyday hair feel runway-ready.
Voga-approved: Barrettes pair especially well with soft waves or textured blowouts. Ask us about adding volume or texture with professional styling tools and products.
6. Boho Braided Details with Accessories
Don’t want to wear a separate accessory? Let your hair be the accessory. Incorporate tiny braids and twist them around mini elastics, beads, or ribbons for a laid-back, beachy look.
How to style it: Add a few micro braids around your hairline or through your part, or braid a ribbon into your ponytail for subtle charm.
At Voga: We can help create semi-permanent braided styles that last a few days perfect for festivals or summer travel.
