On Trend Hair Accessories for Women Over 50

Some popular hair accessory trends for women over 50 include headbands, hair clips, French pins, and decorative bobby pins. These accessories can add a pop of color or sparkle to any hairstyle and can be used to dress up or down an outfit. Quality products will have designs that are age appropriate as well as beautiful and functional. Aging may result in thinning hair, making it difficult to find accessories that stay in your hair. Believe me, I know the struggle! Other considerations include choosing accessories that complement your personal style and those that fit the occasion. Read on as I review categories of hair accessories that work for me.

Headbands/Hairbands

Headbands have always been a popular hair accessory, but in 2023 they are taking on a new twist. The latest trend is wearing headbands made of unexpected materials like leather, velvet, or metal. These unique headbands can add a touch of edginess or sophistication to any outfit. Colorful bands with beads, rosettes, bows, or small flowers show off your sassy side. Do you want something more subdued? Try plain bands made of leather, faux leather, or fabric. Best of all, hairbands work for thick or thin, long or short hair.

Do you avoid them because you get headaches? Lilla Rose hairbands are comfortable, and

stylish, all without the pain. Made with 2 pieces, the adjustable and stretchy attachment takes the ouch out of wearing a hairband. Plus, they come in so many styles and colors, you surely will find one (or more) for you.

Hair Clips

One of the latest trends in hair clips is using them to add a pop of color to an outfit. Neon colors, metallics, and jewel tones are becoming more popular in hair clips, creating a playful and eye-catching look. Additionally, hair clips are being used to create a more understated look, such as using them to pin back just a few strands of hair or creating a simple, classic bun. The problem with a lot of drugstore clips is that they are not adjustable, pull out your hair, or fall apart. Lilla Rose flexi clips and flexi flips solve those problems. Flexible, made without springs or locking clips, and in multiple sizes, they are the perfect choice for your 30-second hairstyle or elegant updo. Even ladies with thin hair can wear a Lilla Rose clip. Really thick hair? We have a size for you, too!

An Accessory by Any Other Name-French Pins, Hair Forks, U Pins, or Swerves

These are all names for the same hair accessory. With French pins, you can easily create effortless-looking hairstyles, such as loose buns or messy updos. This trend is all about creating a natural, carefree look th

at is still polished and put together. Additionally, French pins are being used to create more intricate and detailed hairstyles, such as braids and twists, making them versatile accessories for any occasion. I love my Acrylic U Pin from Lilla Rose. It is lightweight and so easy to use. I use it to make a French twist in less than 30 seconds. How does it look?

Decorative Bobby Pins

Bobby pins are a hair accessory that has been around for decades, but in 2023, they are getting a trendy upgrade. The latest trend is using bobby pins as a design element in hairstyles, creating a unique and stylish look. Some of the new trends include using bobby pins to create intricate patterns or using them to create a minimalist, sculptural look. The best part about this trend is that it can be done with any type of bobby pin, from classic metal pins to trendy neon colors. I am partial to ones with bling, like these. Lilla Rose bobby pins are much sturdier than most. Put some in your hair and they will stay in place all day.
