Banana clips, scrunchies, crimping irons—remember those? Well, they are making a comeback. Stylist Cindy Duplantis is showing us what '80s hair accessories are back and how to use them! 

Hair clips 

The banana clip, a thin, curved double comb that hinges at the bottom and locks in a faux-hawk-meets-pony look has returned. This drugstore hair accessory-aisle staple works by scooping up hair to create a cascading, waterfall effect that hides the clip itself in textured or curly hair.

Butterfly clips

This is the hair accessory trend we all once bulk-bought at the mall. Butterfly clips are small, versatile, and packed with personality. While they once might have been used with a heavy hand back in the day, we still vow that the accessory can add just a touch of playfulness to any boring hair day!

Scrunchies 

It’s official: the scrunchie is back. But, these aren’t the shiny, lurex options of yore. The trend has been elevated and now you can get scrunchies in elegant silks, animal prints, and so much more!

Hair barrettes 

Hair barrettes are must-haves hair to keep in your bag – especially if you want to follow the latest hair accessory trend! It’s fashionable to place barrettes symmetrically on both sides of the face and frame the face with the barrettes.

Headbands

Headbands (especially when worn with teased hair) were such a staple of the '80s and now they are coming back to us!
