Hair clips have had their day: bows make for the most beautiful hairstyles of the season

We all fell madly in love with brightly coloured hair clips. Now we're cheating. With bows in all sizes and colours.

Do you remember a few months ago, when the sun was shining and you were skipping through life without a care in the world? Back then, you probably had a loyal companion by your side. One that gave you support.

And although I had predicted that your liaison would last into the winter, something came up. A new trend, a new love. Claw Clips have to leave the field for now. Their colleagues, the scrunchies, are taking the winter break with them. Because this season, bow ties have us all wrapped around our fingers. Or rather around our plaits, braided hairstyles and buns.

From model Elsa Hosk to stylist Ourania Marmara, they're all going for playful bows in beautifully tamed hair. They remind us as much of our childhood as they do of light-footed ballerinas - and get us in the mood for the most festive time of the year.

To keep up with the trend, you have two options. 1. you cheat. With hair ties that either come with the bow already tied. Or with ones that at least provide the ribbons for you to tie yourself. Both options make it child's play to create the hairstyle of the moment and ensure that nothing slips out of place.

Option number 2: Use actual ribbon instead. Although this makes the choice of colour, width and material much greater, it could mean that you have to readjust it from time to time during the day because the ribbon slips out of your hair. The best thing to do here is to cheat with an inconspicuous little elastic to keep the hairstyle in shape and then let it disappear under the band of your choice.

Proper bow-tying professionals who lack neither dexterity nor patience take the trend one step further. Instead of settling for a standard bow, they weave the ribbon into the hairstyle. It looks like this, for example, and makes quite an impression:
