HAIR CLIPS are this year’s hottest accessory
Blingtastic HAIR CLIPS are hailed as this year’s hottest accessory (and trendsetter Holly Willoughby is already a fan of the retro look)
- Holly Willoughby was spotted wearing a slogan hair grip during I’m a Celebrity
- Celebrity hair stylist James tells Femail this trend is a hit with his clients
- Stars including Alexa Chung, Solange and Caitriona Balfe have sported slides
Statement hair clips have been quietly making waves in the fashion world for the past few months, but they’re set to be even bigger in 2019.
Celebrities including Holly Willoughby have been wearing oversized sparkly slides in their hair in recent weeks to add a playful touch to an otherwise simple look.
The TV presenter, 37, was quick to catch onto the catwalk-ready trend, sporting a ‘Jungle is massive’ clip during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last year, but stars including Kendall Jenner and Alexa Chung have since jumped on board.
Celebrity hair stylist James Johnson says hair clips are a hit with clients as they are an ‘easy way of transforming a simple boring do into a statement look’.

Style maven Alexa Chung has also be spotted wearing the trend. She posted a picture of her donning pearl hair slides in a recent Instagram snap
When it comes to trying this style at home, James said it’s important to know your hair type.
He said: ‘Everyone wants thick luscious locks, but being real and knowing your hair type will help you find the right accessory.
‘For finer hair opt for lighter pieces such as sliding grips, and for thicker hair, perhaps heavy jewellery can be more fitting.’

He added: ‘When deciding where to place the piece, think outside the box. Sometimes off-centre and placing items on the side can help pull the whole look together.
‘This gives the eye different places to view and work around, helping the look flow.’
Holly’s hair slides were from London based occasion brand Tilly Thomas Lux and it was another look that was a hit with her fans, with one commenting on the post ‘These are amazing’.

Other celebrities who have already jumped on board the hair grip trend include Irish actress Caitriona Balfe, who donned two sleek slides on the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
Fashionista Alexa Chung has been wearing the look for a while, posting a picture of her wearing a selection of pearl hair slides in her slicked back look.
Love Island star Cara De La Hoyde also wore two simple clips on the slide of her sleek locks.
Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey is also a fan of the trend. She wore a sparkly ‘damn’ clip in her hair – and took this sultry snap shared on Instagram

However James emphasised the importance of choosing a clip that suits your personal style, rather than just following celebrity trends.
He told Femail: ‘When looking for your perfect accessory it’s important you pick the right one that suits your image. Be sure to opt for an added piece that compliments the look not distracts the look.’
For a more ‘undone’ look, cheap kirby grips work just as well, according to James.
James added: ‘Don’t be shy at leaving your hair grips on show. Add more in and let them be exposed. Perhaps contrast them to your hair colour for added depth.’
