  Welcome to the Pixie Garden Hair Podcast.
• 0:24
  I am Jess, here with licensed cosmetologist, Delina Markland.
• 0:28
  Delina, before we get into it, congratulations are in order.
• 0:31
  You were just named a 2026 Davis Chamber of Commerce small business of the year semifinalist.
• 0:36
  Thank you, that one means a lot.
• 0:38
  It is the first time the Pixie Garden has been recognized like that.
• 0:42
  And it is especially nice because we built this brand to feel like a friend.
• 0:46
  Salon Grey Hair, without the inflated prices or the bougie attitude, having the community
• 0:52
  notice that is really special.
• 0:54
  Now let's get to what everyone keeps asking me about.
• 0:58
  Perfect lead in, let me ask the question everyone is googling.
• 1:01
  Are scrunchies still in style in 2026?
• 1:03
  Yes, and they are not going anywhere, which is exactly why I still stalk the silk satin
• 1:08
  scrunchies.
• 1:10
  Here is the thing people miss.
• 1:12
  Scrunchies stopped being a trend years ago and became a tool.
• 1:16
  A satin or silk scrunchie holds a ponytail without the crease and breakage, a tight elastic
• 1:21
  gives you.
• 1:22
  So it earns its spot on function, not fashion.
• 1:25
  The styles rotate, oversized, velvet silk, but the category is permanent.
• 1:30
  If something is genuinely good for your hair, it does not go out of style.
• 1:35
  What about claw clips?
• 1:36
  People keep asking if those are over.
• 1:38
  Claw clips are the single biggest accessory story of 2026 and the trend has shifted toward
• 1:45
  the flat, lay flat shapes, which is why the jumbo lay flat oval claw clip is the one I point
• 1:51
  people to.
• 1:52
  The old bulky round claws are fading.
• 1:55
  The flat oval sits closer to your head, holds thick hair without that painful pinch and actually
• 2:01
  looks intentional when you are wearing it down at your desk or out.
• 2:05
  So the answer is not just still in style.
• 2:07
  The shape you choose is what makes it current.
• 2:10
  And bows and berets, those feel like they come and go.
• 2:13
  Bowls are having a real moment in 2026, but the grown up version, think a structured fabric
• 2:19
  bow clip, not a little girl, beret.
• 2:22
  The black and white paisley bow hair clip is my example.
• 2:25
  It reads polished, the pattern keeps it from being too sweet and it dresses up a simple
• 2:30
  style in two seconds.
• 2:32
  Berets and bows are the easiest way to look pulled together, but the trick is one statement
• 2:37
  piece, not a head full.
• 2:39
  Restraint is what makes it look styled instead of costume.
• 2:43
  So how does someone shop trends without wasting money on stuff they will not wear?
• 2:47
  Why for your hair and your real life, not the algorithm?
• 2:51
  Ask two questions.
• 2:52
  Does this actually work for my hair type and thickness?
• 2:55
  And will I wear it past this month?
• 2:58
  A silk scrunchy, a claw clip that fits your density and one good statement clip will outlast
• 3:05
  every viral accessory of the season.
• 3:08
  That is the whole 2026 list that matters.
• 3:12
  Function first, trend second.
• 3:14
  I would rather you own three pieces you reach for daily than a drawer of things you bought
• 3:19
  because a video told you to.
• 3:21
  Function first, trend second.
• 3:22
