Olivia Rodrigo has singlehandedly managed to throw us back to our childhood, and not just by her very 'teenage-angst' songs. The singer has also popularised something all 90s kids are all too familiar with — colourful hair clips (or tic-tacs, as the fancy kids called them). If you're on the fence of whether or not to relive the trend, we say it's always a good idea to do things that remind you of simpler childhood days. And while you're at it, here's a list to help you add to cart. Please be prepared to spend more than the 90s INR 20 you were used to for these things. Inflation + 20 years has elevated their status in the accessory world.
Love Olivia Rodrigo's Chunky Hair Clips? Here Are 6 Brands To Shop The Same
Oralia Accessories
We found this store through a casual doomscroll on Instagram, and the affordable prices had us looking twice to check if we're seeing things right. From pastel and neon hair clips to chunkier ones with rainbows, watermelons, and cute duckies on them — they have an insane amount of options when it comes to hair accessories. For those of you who still haven't hopped on the scrunchies bandwagon, this is the perfect time to get on that trend too.
Price: Starting at INR 49

Lulu & Sky

The Zen Jewellery
If you like your clips to literally spell out the way you feel about yourself, then look no further. The hairclips collection at The Zen Jewellery is bold, and hard to miss.

If you're going for an outfit that lets the accessories do all the talking, this one does the job (quite literally).

H&M
We know, it's a bit of an obvious occurrence to find anything that is even mildly trending at H&M. But the butterfly clips they have look exactly like the ones that Olivia Rodrigo wore to the VMAs (and also exactly like the ones every 90s kid wore to a birthday party at some point). But for those of you who like to recreate celebrity looks exactly the same way, check these out.
Price: INR 299 for a pack of ten clips
LBB Picks: Butterfly clips
Thesto
From moon and stars to neon and glitters, find a whole range of options at this very cool brand. They keep basic black bobby pins, and right next to them you might find elaborate bows and scrunchies, or hair clips with link-chain or pearl designs, so its safe to say that their stuff caters to everyone.
Price: INR 75 onwards for basic bobby pins, and fancier and bigger ones are INR 125 onwards
