9 Hair Accessories That Don't Feel Juvenile

Bows, headbands, and pins, oh my! In a world of bedazzlement and ribbons, some hair accessories can leave you feeling like a child. Embrace your inner grown-up by upgrading your traditional hair embellishments for more stylish pieces. An easy way to take your accessories from babyish to badass woman is by choosing items with a bit more edge and individual style. Personally, I love pieces that make a statement. Whether they're wrapped in leather or lace or adorned with jewels and studs, there are plenty of fierce hair additions that will make you feel like the true queen that you are.

Don't feel as if you can't rock hair accessories for fear of looking like a little kid. It's totally avoidable! For me, I try to avoid hair accessories with big bows or skinny headbands. It reminds me way too much of my time in middle school. However, that may just be the step you would like to take. As with any fashion choice, stick to pieces best for your individual style. Wondering what hair accessories look totally adult and mature? Here are nine fashionable pieces that will upgrade your hairstyle without looking childish.
