The hair accessories to show off this summer 2026 From the lace bands of Merrma Earth, to the geometric bars of Madison Seidman

Summer is definitely not the ideal time to calmly and patiently get your hair in order. On the contrary, what you need are quick, immediate fixes, before the heat gets the better of you and you start confusing a comb for an electric razor. In these cases, hair accessories become a real lifesaver: they steal the spotlight, trying to distract from the actual state our hair ends up in at 30 degrees and with humidity through the roof. Here are some ideas to start with.

Hair accessories to wear for Summer 2026

Merrma Earth lace headbands

Merrma Earth is an independent French brand with a very distinctive aesthetic: delicate-looking pieces that, once worn, can completely transform a look. Among its most loved creations are its lace headbands, which this summer seem to have taken over social media: from Pinterest moodboards to Instagram feeds.

Good Squish scrunchies

Good Squish is a London-based brand that blends a playful aesthetic with references ranging from childhood to pop culture. Its most iconic products are the oversized scrunchies that resemble the tutus many of us dreamed of wearing as kids to feel like princesses: voluminous, colorful, and impossible to ignore. One interesting aspect of the brand is its exclusive use of deadstock fabrics sourced in the UK, making each accessory a limited edition.

Undo Hairware minimalist barrettes

Undo Hairware creates accessories with a minimal, clean aesthetic, handmade in Italy and designed to be fully recyclable. The idea behind the brand is simple: to create objects that are beautiful to look at, but above all practical for everyday use. Among them is the mint green barrette, one of the key shades of Summer 2026. From nails to accessories, and even make-up, this shade keeps popping up everywhere, adding a refreshing touch wherever it appears.

Talina hair clips

Talina is an independent brand based in Barcelona that mainly works with wood as its core material. All its accessories are created from spheres that are assembled and reworked into pieces ranging from clothing to jewelry, and - what interests us most - hair accessories, all featuring a vibrant palette perfect for summer.

Lié Studio deconstructed barrettes

Lié Studio is a Danish brand, and it shows. Its aesthetic is very Nordic: minimal, clean, and stripped of excess. Its accessories follow the same direction, combining essential design with functionality. Among the most interesting pieces are the Poppy Barrettes, deconstructed hair clips designed to create different hairstyles while always delivering the same result: an effortlessly polished look in just a few steps, perfect for anyone who doesn’t have time for elaborate styling.

Madison Seidman geometric accessories

Madison Seidman is an independent brand based between the United States and France. The project draws inspiration from the creator’s childhood and from the equestrian world, particularly competition ribbons. The Madbar pieces are a reinterpretation of these references, translated into minimal, graphic accessories. They are made of aluminum, which makes them extremely lightweight, and come in a variety of shapes and colors. It’s impossible not to find one that fits your personal style.
