When it comes to styling hair in the morning, it’s so easy to have a that’ll do attitude. But ladies, it’s time to shake things up! Just taking a little extra time on your hair in the mornings will complete your look, and it’s so easy to do. Make every day a good hair day with these ten cute hair accessories. They’re simple, easy, and will make you the subject of much hair envy – what more could you ask for?
- Hairband
If your fringe isn’t doing what you want to it to, just shove it back with a hairband. They come in all shapes, sizes, patterns and colours, so there’s absolutely no need to go for the plastic 90s variety – unless you want to, of course!
- Bandana
A bandana may be slightly trickier to pull off than a good old fashioned hairband, but when it works, it really, really works. This is a great idea for those with shorter hair, as you can use it to add body and structure.
- Ribbon
For a good many years, ribbons were my signature thing. I should really get back into that. You can pick them up super-cheap at any haberdashery, and they’re surprisingly versatile.
- Bow
If you love ribbons but need something with a little more structure to it (perhaps your hair’s just too silky soft to hold a ribbon) a bow clip is a great alternative. If you prefer subtler styles, just add a cute little bow to a ponytail or braid, or if you like to go big and bold, grab the biggest bow you can find!
- Flower
I hear ya – flower hair accessories can be super tacky. Don’t rule them out, though. Some, particularly the silk variety, are gorgeous. Get that festival boho style by just clipping your long beachy locks with a couple of flower clips.
- Button
If you fancy yourself a bit of an alternative, or you’re simply just not a girly-girl, buttons can be a great accessory in place of flowers, ribbons and bows. You can make your own button clips really easily, too! Just find a few buttons you like the look of and thread them through a bobby pin. You may need a little glue to hold them in place, but make sure it’s dry before you use them!
- Jumbo clip
For that simple, minimalist, effortless look, use a jumbo hair clip. They’re a little bit different, but normal enough for you not to feel self-conscious. They’re also actually really practical, especially for more troublesome hair.
- Chain
Want something a little more unique? Hair chains are absolutely the latest and greatest when it comes to hair accessories. Just pop one a-top your standard middle parting, and you’ve got a perfectly done, glamorous do.
- Pins
For those potentially more formal occasions, decorative pins totally light-up any tired old up-do. Diamonds, pearls, flowers – they come in as many varieties as you’d like, and couldn’t be easier to use.
- Scrunchie
From formal to the ultimate casual – the scrunchie! Not only do these give you that vintage 90s look we all love, but they’re super-comfortable, better for your hair than normal hair ties, and they don’t give you that dreaded kink!
