Stacked Ribbons For A Subtle Statement

Here we see medium length hair elevated with a stack of ribbons, creating a layered effect that’s both subtle and stylish. The combination of pastel pink, ivory, and black ribbons set against a blonde backdrop makes for a contemporary hairstyle with bangs.

Anyone with medium to long hair can replicate this style, and it’s particularly flattering for those with straight hair. The look may be a challenge for those with shorter hair, but similar effects can be achieved with smaller clips.

To maintain this style’s integrity, a good dry shampoo like Batiste will keep your hair fresh between washes, while a light hairspray such as the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray can help secure the ribbons in place.

This look invites personalization; choose ribbons that resonate with your mood or outfit, creating a style narrative that’s authentically you.

Pop Of Pink: Bold Bow As The Centerpiece

The photograph showcases a simple yet striking statement — a vibrant pink bow positioned at the back of the head, adding a pop of color to long hair. It’s a playful addition that can transform a casual look into something super and eye-catching.

Perfect for those with long straight hair or waves, this hairstyle is quick to put together and suits just about any summer outing. It might be too bold for conservative environments but is perfect for a beach day or a camp event.

Keep your hair sleek and the color of your bow as vibrant as the day you bought it by using a color-protecting shampoo, like the Redken Color Extend Magnetics Shampoo. A smoothing serum, such as the John Frieda Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum, can keep stray hairs at bay.


Play with the size of the bow or even the fabric for different occasions — a large satin bow for a statement or a small gingham one for a picnic-ready look.

Sleek And Chic: Ribbon Barrette For A Polished Finish

This style speaks of refinement and polish with a baby pink ribbon barrette adorning a straight hair look. It’s a testament to the beauty of minimalism and is the epitome of a medium hair easy casual hairstyle with a touch of elegance.

Suitable for medium to long hair, especially those with straight hair unstyled looking to add a quick and simple yet chic touch. Short-haired individuals may opt for smaller barrettes to suit their length.

Maintain this sleek style by using a smoothing shampoo like the Kerastase Discipline Bain Fluidealiste. And to ensure that your hair stays straight and frizz-free throughout the day, a good flat iron and a heat protection spray are indispensable.

Personalize this style by choosing barrettes of different textures or colors, depending on your personal style or the occasion. This touch can make a world of difference in tailoring your look to your personal brand.

Tied-Up Tenderness: Ribbons In The Breeze

An understated yet chic long hair style graces the image, with sheer white ribbons tied at intervals down a loose ponytail. This hairstyle is perfect for those leisurely beach days or when you’re looking for a simple and natural look that still turns heads.

The long straight hair or wavy hair types will find this quick style a godsend. For those with shorter hair, smaller ribbons tied on a half-updo could create a similarly enchanting effect.

To keep your ponytail frizz-free and the ribbons fluttering beautifully, a lightweight anti-humidity spray, such as the Living Proof No Frizz Humidity Shield, is your ally. When it comes to ribbon care, choose a fabric that’s easy to wash and resilient to summer activities.


Feel free to play around with the color of the ribbons based on the occasion — white for a breezy beach look or perhaps a mix of pastels for a garden party.

Whimsical Ribbons In Tousled Waves

The image captures the essence of bohemian chic with a modern twist, presenting long, wavy hair adorned with delicate ribbons in shades of lilac and charcoal. This look embodies the free-spirited vibe of summer, ideal for festivals or just adding a playful touch to your everyday style.

This versatile hairstyle is perfect for those with long hair, as the wavy texture allows the ribbons to weave in and out like whimsical accents. It’s not the best match for short hair but medium-haired beauties can also partake by placing fewer ribbons.

Keep your waves looking beach-fresh with texturizing products like the Ouai Wave Spray. To protect the ribbons and your hair from the summer sun, a leave-in conditioner with UV protection, such as the Sun Bum Revitalizing 3 in 1 Leave-In Conditioner, is a must.

Dare to be bold by mixing ribbon materials — satin juxtaposed with suede can add a fascinating texture play to your look, bringing an aesthetic that’s uniquely you.

Modern Twist: A Topknot With A Bold Accessory

This image redefines the topknot with an edgy accessory, giving medium to long hair a dose of contemporary flair. The textured black scrunchie with a unique ring detail adds a striking contrast to the otherwise simple updo, making it a great style for those who embrace short hair with bangs or medium with bangs.

It’s a versatile look, suitable for an outdoor adventure or an aesthetic gathering. Those with short hair might need a bit of ingenuity to secure the scrunchie, but it’s achievable with a few bobby pins.

Maintaining this style is a breeze with a texturizing spray like the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray for volume and a strong-hold hairspray to keep the topknot in place. As for the scrunchie, opting for durable materials will ensure longevity and style endurance.

This accessory begs for experimentation — try different textures or patterns to reflect your personal style or the setting.

Vibrant Volume: Scrunchie Sunset

Capture the essence of a summer sunset with this voluminous updo, secured with a bold yellow and pink scrunchie. It’s a fantastic way to add color and fun to long hair styles, perfect for those sun-drenched afternoons or a vibrant beach party.

The style works wonders for those with thick, long hair, giving ample room to showcase the scrunchie’s vivid hues. Those with medium hair can also adopt this style, but for short hair, consider a smaller scrunchie or a different type of accessory.

To keep the volume in your updo, use a volumizing mousse like the R+Co Dallas Thickening Spray. The scrunchie itself should be made of a material that won’t snag or break your hair, like silk or satin.


Personalization is key, so choose a scrunchie that complements your complexion or contrasts with your hair color for that stunning visual pop.

Playful And Pretty: Butterfly Clip In A Ponytail

A nod to the nostalgia of the ’90s with a modern touch, this style showcases a playful butterfly clip holding back a sleek ponytail. The medium to long hair crowd will find this accessory a charming throwback that’s right on trend for 2024.

While this clip suits long hair straight styles best, those with short hair can also enjoy this look by opting for smaller clips. The key is to keep it fun and fresh.

Maintaining a sleek ponytail is key, so a smoothing shampoo and a serum for shine, such as the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum, will do the trick. Keep your butterfly clip in prime condition by cleaning it regularly and storing it safely.

The butterfly clip comes in a myriad of colors and sizes, so why not collect a few? Swap them out depending on your mood or the day’s adventure.

Headwrap Harmony

In this striking image, a satin headwrap takes center stage, turning simple into sophisticated. It’s a style statement that works beautifully with all hair lengths and is particularly beneficial for those days when you want to keep your hair out of your face with grace.

This accessory is a boon for those with natural or curly hair, offering a stylish way to manage your mane while protecting it from the elements. Even if you have short hair, a headwrap can be a chic solution for those in-between lengths.

To maintain your hair’s health beneath the wrap, a nourishing hair oil like the MoroccanOil Treatment is ideal. As for the headwrap, opt for materials like silk or satin to minimize breakage and maintain hair moisture.

Let the headwrap reflect your personal style — choose bold patterns or vibrant colors to express your individuality.

Golden Ribbon, Golden Hour

A rich golden ribbon ties off a side braid in this image, perfectly capturing the essence of the golden hour. This look is easy to achieve for those with medium to long hair and is a sweet nod to simple, romantic summer evenings.

This style suits those with long hair, particularly when it’s wavy or curly, as it gives the braid a fuller appearance. For those with shorter hair, a faux braid or a ribbon-clipped back section can emulate the look.

To keep the braid from unraveling and to add a sheen to match the ribbon, a flexible hold hairspray and a shine spray, such as the Kenra Shine Spray, are recommended. For the ribbon, choose a fabric that won’t crease easily to maintain that lustrous look throughout the day.

Experiment with ribbon widths or shades to match the occasion — perhaps a thinner, more subtle ribbon for daytime wear, or a broader, more metallic one for an evening out.
