Best Gothic Hair Accessories


Nobody can deny Goths are well known for their gorgeous and unique style of clothing. But hairstyling also plays a very large part in perfecting the appearance.

Romantic Goths, Victorian, Medieval and Cabaret Goths  tend to favour more seductive, sensual styles which work well with long hair so we have put together a simple collection of inspired hair accessories.

So make sure you stock up on elegant slides, unique hairbands and breath-taking grips for a million ways to work easy spring/summer goth hairstyles.

Whether you're wearing it up or down, this Coeur Noir Hair Clip by Alchemy is just what you need to add a simple touch of romance to your look. 

This Bat Restyle Hairclip with a red blood polished glass cabochon set within antique silver frame is a  surefire way to spice up your favourite hairstyles. From a traditional ponytail to wearing your hair down with a side parting.

We’re particularly taken with this Snakes of Avalon Hairclip which features a large black ellipse cabochon set in a highly detailed antiqued silver-tone pewter frame detailed with a pair of entwined snakes.

Hats can be very boring so a great youthful alternative is a fascinator, like this Silk Black Rose Clip. Opt for darker shades, to give your outfit the glam factor.

If you love the 'half updo'  a strict and smooth centre part is the key to this Medieval inspired look. Pull hair back on either side of the head, making sure the ears stay covered, before securing with something eye-catching like this Devine Gate Hairclip by Restyle.
