4 Of The Best Hair Accessories To Get You Through Summer 2025

When the sun is shining and the temperatures rise, your hair routine needs to be quick, chic, and heatproof. Enter the ultimate summer hair accessories trends. Whether you're running errands in the city or sipping cocktails at a destination wedding, the right hair accessory can elevate your look instantly (and keep you cool while doing it). We've rounded up our favourite summer-friendly hair accessories to keep your hair game strong in 2025.

1. The Metal Hair Bobble: Sleek Meets Statement

Say goodbye to basic black elastics and hello to the metal hair bobble. This understated yet edgy hair accessory has made its way from runway to street style, giving ponytails across the globe an instant upgrade. Not only does it hold your hair in place all day long (hello, humidity-proof), but the metallic finish adds a subtle shine that complements sun-kissed skin beautifully. Whether you're heading to the beach or brunch, a metal ponytail cuff is the effortless way to polish off your look.

Top tip: The design of these metal hair ties doesn’t go all the way around the elastic, so to get maximum impact, make sure you create a low ponytail to ensure the metallic part can be seen and it catches the light just right. It’s giving minimalist glam with zero fuss.

2. Big Scrunchies: Squishy & Stylish Hair Accessories

If Copenhagen street style has taught us anything, it’s that scrunchies are here to stay. This summer, go big or go home. Oversized scrunchies made from silk or organza are not only gentle on your strands (especially important when hair is drier from the sun), but they also make a statement. 
During the summer, combine it with adding the UKHAIR Repair Mask once weekly into your routine to optimise your hair growth journey, especially during the months when its hot and your hair feels drier.

Throw your hair up into a messy bun or low ponytail and let the scrunchie do the talking. Look for juicy colours like lilac, lemon, or mint for a playful seasonal vibe. And if you're craving a luxe finish, opt for scrunchies with pearl detailing for that quiet luxury feel. These beauties are ideal hair accessories for lazy summer days or adding a pop of colour to a neutral outfit.

3. The Classic Claw Clip: Hair Accessories with Function

We’re still not over the Y2K claw clip revival, and honestly? It’s the summer hero we all need. The latest must-haves are floral hair clips; think pastel petals, daisy prints, and translucent blooms. They’re the perfect way to keep your hair up and off your neck during a heatwave without sacrificing style.

Claw clips are versatile, too. Twist your hair into a French twist, a half-up claw tuck, or just grab-and-go. Whatever your hair length or texture, there’s a hair clip to suit you. These floral hair accessories combine function with fashion, topped with a nostalgic twist.

4. Ribbons: Romantic Female Hair Accessories for Every Occasion

The ribbon is back, and she’s more versatile than ever. Whether you're tying one around a ponytail, using a bow hair clips, or weaving ribbon into a half-up, half-down hairstyle, a ribbon brings that romantic, feminine flair we all crave in summer. Think soft satin in blush tones, pale blue, or dreamy pastels.

Bonus? Ribbons are the ultimate hair accessories for weddings, whether you're the bride or a guest. If you're planning or attending nuptials this year, consider this your sign to add a ribbon to your hairstyle. Want more inspo?
