The bow trend just got hairier. When Sandy Liang teased braided hair bows on Instagram, TikTok quickly became obsessed. Unlike most bows, they weren’t made of fabric—they were made of braided hair. Crafting bows made of hair quickly became a viral TikTok DIY project, with TikTokers tying spare hair extensions into bows and gluing them onto clips. Some Sandy Liang super-fans contemplated cutting off their own hair for their bows—and some actually did. With the popularity of bows both on and off the runway, this hairy reinvention comes as no surprise. Sandy Liang is known for its bows, so it’s only natural that the brand was one of the first to send bows made of hair down the runway. Sandy Liang adorned a tulle dress with the braided hair bows (and braided hair straps), the look captured the designer’s signature love of girly nostalgia and romantic feminine details. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time bows made of hair have hit the runway. When Simone Rocha guest-designed Jean Paul Gaultier’s SS24 collection, she put her own spin on the trend with hair bow earrings made of long strands of strawberry-blonde hair. She further experimented with hair-raising accessories by sending hair bun earrings down the runway, too. Many will also remember that Lady Gaga popularized the hair bow made of hair in 2008—reprising the look with mini hair bows at the 2019 Met Gala. (She was so ahead of her time.) With so many people putting bows in their hair or making bows out of their hair, it’s no wonder we’ve come up with so many ways to celebrate the marriage between bows and hair. While the thought of accessorizing with hair may seem strange, hair accessories and hair clothing have been in and out of fashion for some time now. Brands like Maison Margiela and Charlie Le Mindu designed clothes covered in human hair back in 2009. Maison Margiela designed coats covered in shaggy hair, while Charlie Le Mindu used hair as an alternative to fringe—lining skirts, hats, and even evening gowns with it. And hairiness was in full force at FW24 Paris Fashion Week, where Schiaparelli debuted braided neckties made of hair. The brand credited surrealist artist Mimi Parent’s piece Masculin-Féminin as inspiration. (The piece features a necktie made of Parent’s own hair.) Korean brand KIMHEKIM also designed neckties made of hair for its FW22 collection “Hair Chronicles,” along with braided hair corsets and dresses, a bag lined with long black hair, and a trench coat covered in blonde ponytails—among other hair-themed accessories. In fact, accessorizing with hair predates us all. During the Victorian era, hair jewelry was huge. 19th century it girls affixed locks of hair to brooches, rings, bracelets, and lockets and proudly wore them—sometimes to mourn, sometimes to celebrate, and sometimes to simply highlight bonds with friends. This long and storied history makes one thing clear: The hairy fashion trend offers something for everyone. While Sandy Liang and Simone Rocha used hair as a way to emphasize femininity, Schiaparelli used hair to channel chic masculine energy. As hairy fashion makes its long-overdue comeback—and a new chapter in hair fashion history begins—we welcome the opportunity to see people wearing hair in everyday life. And while we wait in anticipation for that day to come, we must honor the fashion visionaries that paved the way for us hair-loving weirdos.

Sandy Liang’s Braided Hair Bows

Sandy Liang’s Braided Hair Bows Sandy Liang has become synonymous with its bows, and these braided hair bows are a girly play on the hairy accessory trend. Although the brand’s SS24 hair bow dress might not be everyone’s personal taste, the braided hair bow clips are definitely a more wearable option. When matched to your current hair color, the bows literally look like pretty hair extensions. Bows and hair are a match made in heaven that we’re sure to be seeing more of, hopefully in creative ways like this!

Jean Paul Gaultier by Simone Rocha’s Hair Earrings

Jean Paul Gaultier by Simone Rocha’s Hair Earrings Simone Rocha guest designed for Jean Paul Gaultier and brought us two variations of hairy accessories: bow earrings and bun earrings. The bow earrings, while in the same vein as Sandy Liang’s braided hair bows, are instead made of long straight strands of strawberry-blonde hair. The bun earrings, on the other hand, are a dark raven color and contrast the model’s hair. While Sandy Liang’s bows seemed to match the wearer’s hair, Simone Rocha purposely uses her earrings to stand out and make a statement. Although we haven’t seen anyone on TikTok DIY the bow earrings yet, where there’s a will there’s a way, and bow lovers will find a way.

Then, tie a bow with your hair extensions and glue them to these earring findings. Have fun turning heads in your new hair bow earrings!

Schiaparelli’s Surrealist-Inspired Braided Necktie

Schiaparelli’s Surrealist-Inspired Braided Necktie Schiaparelli, inspired by Mimi Parent’s Masculin-Féminin (middle), shocked Paris Fashion Week with its braided hair neckties. The neckties were accompanied by suits. And although you might not see anyone in your office wearing this ensemble any time soon, they made us contemplate adding a touch of surrealism to our everyday wardrobes. Schiaparelli recognizes that hair braids are a cultural icon and deserves to be honored as such. Bows Made of Hair Are 2024’s Next Big Fashion Trend Bundles Straight Synthetic Hair If you want to DIY your own Schiaparelli necktie, start by purchasing a bundle of hair in your preferred color, and braid it.

This DIY hasn’t been attempted on TikTok yet—and master DIY-ers might have a better method in mind—but this should get the job done.

Maison Margiela’s Hair Coats

Maison Margiela’s Hair Coats Maison Margiela was ahead of its time. Coats that identically matched the model’s hair debuted for the brand’s SS09 collection. Released almost 15 years ago, Maison Margiela predicted that hairy fashion would one day be a big runway trend. Although they might have been deemed as gimmicky by fashion fans at the time, it’s important we acknowledge their early innovations in hairy fashion before sporting our Sandy Liang braided hair bows. Bows Made of Hair Are 2024’s Next Big Fashion Trend Womens Faux Fur Jacket If you want to replicate the Maison Margiela hair coat at home, you have options. For the simplest route, we’d suggest finding a faux fur coat that closely resembles your own hair. But gluing wigs to a jacket is never off the table. [ad]
