Because the only thing better for your hair than dry shampoo is a trendy knotted headband, am I right?

How does it work? Just gather your hair, pull it into a super tight bun, spin the pins into place, and BAM! You've got yourself the perfect bun.
Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Promising review: "This is seriously a great find! I've been looking for a hat for a long time for an upcoming trip, and all the hats I've tried on were either too floppy, too small for my face, or just plain uncomfortable. The brim on this hat is a perfect size to keep the sun off your face and stays perfectly in place so it won't obstruct your vision! You can adjust the sizing using a ribbon hidden in the lining, making the fit perfect even for a windy day. Absolutely love this hat!" —Jess

Promising review: "Love these headbands! They're very comfortable for the days I just want to pull my hair back while still looking stylish. Plus, they are loose enough to not give me a headache but still stay in place." —Elizabeth D.

Promising review: "I bought this for my wedding and I’m so glad I did! It was sparkly and perfect for what I needed. I kept changing the way I wanted my hair to be styled, and this set came as three different pieces that you can manipulate into a different shape — you can even make all three pins look like one hairpiece. And so easy to put in! It stayed put without having to use hairpins to keep it down even after a whole night of dancing! Not heavy at all! I almost forgot it was in my hair. Plus, it was less than $10!" —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Free People for $12 (available in six colors).
Promising review: "These are so cute! I thought they might be too youthful/girly for me to get away with, but they're adorable. Perfect for keeping my hair out of my face when I work and when I apply makeup and skincare treatments. There's a wire that runs throughout the whole headband which means it stays on my (large) head, whereas other elastic headbands just slip off. These are available in many different pretty prints, as well. Great value for the money!" —meems

This set comes with two smaller pins and one larger one!
Promising review: "These are so cute, I can’t stand it. The smaller two pins really hold my hair in place, while the larger branch is a gorgeous decoration. I got them in gold, but these barrettes are so fun that I’m considering getting them in every finish available. Very pretty and not at all cheap-looking, especially considering the very affordable price." —P.S. Crane
