Just Wait Until You See the Best Hair-Accessory Trends of the Year

These days, great hairstyles are all in the details — and that couldn't be more true with the thread trend. The ancient practice of hair threading dates back centuries, with the West African technique involving wrapping wool, yarn, or nylon around sections of hair to create intricate hair sculptures that protect it from the elements. The latest iterations of the thread trend can be woven through braids or various hairstyles, and the sky is the limit on fabrics and colors; you can choose leather, silk, tinsel, or gold string to add a fun peekaboo effect to any look.
