Hair accessories to wear according to your face shape
Having grown up in an era of hair barrettes and headbands, we’re undeniably thrilled at the revival hair accessories have been experiencing over the last few seasons. But as with every style comeback, our thoughts turn to the ins-and-outs of revitalizing a retro trend. And just like finding the perfect bang style, some hair accessories look better with certain face shapes. So how do you know which barrette, clip, or slide you should take stock in? This quick hair accessories guide will show you.
