1. These claw clips from The Hair Edit and Anthropologie
As you probably know from scrolling the internet, claw clips are back from the ‘00s and in fashion once again. Larger clips can grip long, thick hair and even box braids, and the small ones can clip your bangs back or hold a half-updo in place. While the clips of yesteryear tended to be cheaply made and snap after a few wears, the upgraded ones have sturdier teeth and shapes that better fit a variety of hairstyles.
Ulta offers a number of designs to choose from—just consider how much hair you want to pin up and your style, i.e. do you like funky patterns or classic neutrals? To grab hold of long or thick hair, go with The Hair Edit’s Octopus Claw Clip, which claims to hold hair in place from morning until night.
For a set of cutesy, mini-sized clips that you can throw in your hair for fun or use to pull smaller sections back, try Anthropologie’s Mini Claw Clip Set. Each set includes eight clips in complementary neutral hues and prints.
2. These hair scrunchies from Kitsch and Lululemon
Hair scrunchies are yet another resurgence of nostalgia, and you can find them in just about any color and texture you can think of. For a set of large ones that’ll look great in your hair or on your wrist, grab a 5-pack from Kitsch. Each set includes complementary colors and either one or a variety of textures (think: sherpa or velvet).
If statement scrunchies aren’t for you, consider the Reviewed-approved Lululemon Skinny Scrunchies. While testing hair ties, we crowned these the best scrunchies, as they hold hair comfortably and feel durable. You can grab them in colorful or neutral packs of six.
3. This satin turban from Grace Eleyae
A satin turban can both gussy up the most basic outfit and hide a bad hair day in a pinch. Grace Eleyae offers an extensive turban collection that caters to short cuts, curls and braids. The line includes turban-style headbands, and all products are lined with satin to keep your hair feeling moisturized and soft. Not sure where to start? Try the All Silk Turban in black or another neutral shade that’ll go with any outfit.
4. These butterfly clips from Scunci
Sure, butterfly clips aren’t exactly reliable for pinning back sections of hair, but who buys them for their practicality? You can use the adorable Scunci Butterfly Bright Colors Mini Jaw Clips to pull your bangs out of your face or fasten them all around your head when your hair is in an updo. However you style them, they’ll add a pop of color and youthfulness to any outfit.
5. This sequin headband from Anthropologie
Headbands always work to tie together an outfit and keep your hair out of your face.

The sequin-embellished accessory is available in five neutral hues: peach, black, dark green, mauve and white.
6. These jeweled hair pins from Violet and Brooks
These Violet and Brooks Crystal Hair Pins are tiny yet mighty, as they work for gathering what your hair tie left to fly in the wind. The clips come in sets, each of which includes six bobby pins with clear crystals running the length of them and a larger, colored jewel at the top. The single jewel’s hue depends on which set you choose—they’re available in dark green, light blue, turquoise, lavender, maroon and clear.
7. These snap clips from Deepa Gurnani and Free People
Snap hair clips never really left, but you’ll find a variety of decades and styles channeled in the offerings these days. Deepa Gurnani’s Gillian Jewelled Hair Clip Set comprises a pair of multi-colored, jewel-embellished clips that’ll add a pop of color to your neutral outfit.
