Having fun with hair accessories is back in a big way. Take the scrunchie renaissance of last year, hair bows, and this winter's claw-clip comeback. To get as far as possible from their former reps, the new version of each trend is starkly chic and has the price tag to match ($35 scrunchies are most definitely a thing now). These cool, unexpected looks, however, let you try the accessory life without investing in something that does the job of a rubber band. Track down every MIA hair tie, rogue barrette, and ribbon to make your hair look money—for $10 or less.

In Knots
[post_ads]Rifle through your gym bag, hair drawer, and bedside table, and you’re bound to unearth a few lost hair ties. To re-create the faux-hawk seen here, brush hair up and back, and secure three ponies in a row. Can’t find three matching ones? Pick up a pack of Goody Ouchless Ribbed Scrunchies. The key to mastering the style, says our NYC-based hairstylist, Rutger: Create small, sleek loops by not fully pulling each pony through the final wrap, and leave the ends free so you can, you know, whip your hair back and forth.

Ribbon Remix
Before you toss those ripped tights, consider upcycling them into chic headbands, as Rutger did above. Find a super-stretchy opaque black pair, and cut each leg straight across at the knee, then chop off the feet too (this creates two sleek bands, each about four inches wide). Place one along your hairline so half of the fabric is on your hair and half is on your forehead. For a more whimsical look, add additional trimmings on top, like the long strips of white lace and satin ribbon seen here; and tie both ends in a knot at the base of your neck.

It's a Tie
Finish plain-Jane pigtails by tying them in imperfect bundles. Wrap Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics half an inch apart. Tug at a few sections to make them bigger and messier.

Accessorize wild, windblown-looking texture with a row of strategically placed barrettes. First, tightly secure sides half-up with bobby pins, then add volume to the center section by gently teasing roots and blasting with hairspray. (Try L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray.) Next, trail barrettes down a wide section below one ear. (These affordable ones from Amazon should do the trick; otherwise, gold bobby pins work too.) To take your DIY-ing to the next level, line your part with studded trim, swiped with double-sided tape or hair bonding glue. Just press the trim on your scalp (aim for your part, not hair, for easier removal) and done.
