If bows and ribbons have taken over all your socials just like ours and you’re wondering what this new hair trend is all about, let us break it down for you. This viral hair trend started with Sandy Liang’s Fall 2023 presentation which featured a large number of softcore hair accessories. The designer was later also seen donning this trend at her wedding in the cutest way ever.

You can tie a simple bow with a ribbon…

Go for a statement piece…
One giant bow is also a great idea, especially if you’re going for a bit of a retro vibe. Donned by many including Sydney Sweeney, you can use any ribbon or even a sheer or silk cloth and make this one on your own.

Why limit this hair trend to just your tresses?
If you want to incorporate bows and ribbons in your outfits even more, you can literally tie a ribbon around any part of your body that looks a bit empty and you’re good to go!
