I don’t know about you, but when the whole hair accessory craze started up again, I was more than a bit skeptical. When I thought about adding barrettes and hair clips back into my styling routine, I instantly pictured myself looking like a kid in grammar school.
Well, fast forward a few months later, and I now can’t get enough of hair accessories. I’ve pretty much packed my beauty vanity with all kinds of scrunchies, snap clips, and barrettes, and I’ve done a ton of research on modern ways to wear them. Which led me to the hottest hair accessory trend in 2020: accessory stacking.
If you don’t know what accessory stacking is, it’s all about layering a couple of hair accessories throughout your look. Wondering how to try it for yourself? Read on for 13 of the best hair accessory stacking ideas we could find.

All-Over Barrettes
Scattering a few (okay, a lot) of barrettes throughout your hair may have started on the runway, but that doesn’t mean the look isn’t totally wearable for date night!

Hashtag Pins
Want #GorgeousHair with minimal effort? Opt for a hashtag hair clip or DIY one with four standard bobby pins. Simply insert two bobby pins next to each other wherever you want them in your hair. Once those are in place, slide two more through the center of the bobby pins already placed in the hair. Keep your look in check throughout the day with a few spritzes of hairspray like Redken Control Addict 28 Strong Hold Hairspray.

Triangle
Speaking of easy ways to accent your look with bobby pins, you can also accentuate your look by creating a triangle shape with just three pins. Slide a bobby pin horizontally through your hair wherever you want the triangle to be. Then, secure two bobby pins at an upward angle to create the shape of a triangle.

Half-Up With Pearl Accents
Pearl hair accessories in 2020 are nothing like the ones your grandma used to wear. Modern-day pearl accessories are classy and elegant, yet simple enough to wear every day. If you’re looking for the perfect way to secure a half-up hairstyle, swap your hair tie for two pearl barrettes.

Pinned Ponytail
Pro tip: You can upgrade any basic high ponytail with a few well-placed bobby pins. When you’re creating your ponytail, use a dime-size amount of hair gel, like Matrix Vavoom Hold My Body Forming Gel to smooth the hair around your crown and give it a sleek, shiny look. Then, stack a few bobby pins throughout your look however you choose.

Clustered Bobby Pins
The best stacked accessory looks are unexpected—case in point: These clustered bobby pins paired with a deep side part and natural curls.

Zigzag
Instead of stacking your bobby pins horizontally, try placing them vertically in a zigzag pattern to add an exciting element to any hairstyle.

Animal Print
Love it or hate it, animal print is having a serious moment right now. If you want to get in on the trend, try stacking a few animal print hair accessories of all shapes and sizes throughout your mane.

Pinned Messy Bun
We love a traditional messy bun and all, but we adore this pin-accented variation even more. Not only does it add a bit of style to your ‘do, but it can also help keep your look secure throughout the day.
