Hair Accessories to Dress Up Any Day of the Week
By: Samantha Weiser
As much as we love our locks, our lives always seem to take over (and rightfully so). Not all of us are fortunate enough to have an hour or more in the morning to pamper ourselves. In fact, sometimes it feels that all of our self-care is squeezed into a one-hour session on Sunday night - if that. And with a simplistic, but statement-making 'do, you really can feel like a new person. Thankfully, we're hear to give you our guide to hair accessories that spice up every day of the week with literally no effort!
MONDAY
Luncheon with the boss: It's the cherry on top of your low-pony.
These definitely aren't the bobble bands you had growing up. Try fastening a fun bobble around your 'do for am easy way to dress up your everyday look while still looking polished and put together.

TUESDAY
PR Event after hours: Hello conversation piece!
Reach for something bolder, especially if it's not your usual style. Try adding a simple pop of color or geometric shape. This combination will definitely help create a playfulness to the hair and your outfit.

WEDNESDAY
Wine and cheese with the girls: After working a long day, you (and your hair) are so ready for tonight.
Minimalistic, metal clips add just the right amount of sparkle and shine to your tresses. Fluff up or texturize your locks, then add your clips for a "cool girl on-the-go" vibe.

THURSDAY
Your boss sends you on a scavenger hunt: No way is our hair getting in the way today!
Keep your hair tidy, secure, and stylish with the extra help of a clasp. A low bun is practical for any day of the week, but for added security, we can't imagine anything but a sparkly, half-moon clip.

FRIDAY
Date night with bae: After this week, you deserve some love.
Okay, Friday night calls for curls and more, especially for tonight's date. Style & spray your hair to keep it in place. Don't worry, this faux fur headband isn't permanent - it's only to keep your hair under wraps (literally) while you’re traveling or perhaps skating at the Rockefeller Center.

SATURDAY
Family wedding & reception: We all know you were practicing your dance moves, but did you remember to practice your hair?
Weddings can be tricky to dress for, but it's best to keep your accessories elegant and simple, depending on the wedding theme, of course. A subtle hint of shimmer or pearl is a beautiful detail.

SUNDAY
Remember that wedding reception? Me either, let's get brunch.
The bun cuff is like the icing on a donut - not necessary, but it definitely makes it prettier. Style your topknot with something a little extra. It's the perfect accessory for the boss babes that only have a few extra minutes left before running to their next adventure.
