Include classic Goth colors. Black, red and silver are all predominant colors that most Goth fashionistas include in their wardrobes, so use these colors in your hair accessories. Experiment with plaid and leopard prints, too; Goths that like to dress punk or retro will like accessories with these patterns.

Net it up. Lace and fishnet are popular in Goth fashion, so using these fabrics to create Goth hair accessories will make them the perfect addition to any look. Attach ragged pieces of fishnet to hair clips and barrettes for a fun and trashy Goth look; use lace to create delicate bows for the Victorian Goth girl.

Make it sparkle. Faux rubies and onyx stones will make Goth hair accessories look classy, and they feature red and black. Add a cluster of gemstones to the center of a hair barrette that's been covered in black ribbon or use a hot glue gun to attach them to a black or red headband to give it a Gothic twist.

Go heavy metal. Metal and silver accessories can be a great way to add some edge to your hair accessories. Attach chains to fishnet bows or hot glue spikes and faux razor blades to barrettes for a hardcore touch.

Add some animals. Spiders, spider webs, bats and black cats are all popular images in Goth fashion. Use beads or appliqués featuring these creatures to add some whimsy to your hair accessories. Anime is popular, too, so if you can combine cartoon animals with Goth flair it will look great.

Add drama. The Goth look is all about drama, whether it's chokers with spikes, black lipstick or mile high platform boots. Make your Goth hair accessories just as dramatic--add long chains, big spikes or crazy retro flair. Being different is what being Goth is all about, so make your hair accessories fit the lifestyle.
