Girls' Hair Accessories

Long gone are the days of scrunchies and bobby pins. Today's styles scream fun and functional.

By Marta Topran

Sporty Spice
 

Whether your girl is a ballerina or a soccer star, these hair elastics will keep her ponies high (and never fall out in the middle of a pirouette or kick.)

$4 per pack, Goody for stores.

 
Princess Diaries
 

Regal enough for playtime, yet subtle enough for her to wear her crown to school on non-Halloween days.

$29.50, Faigie.

 
Little "Bow" Peep
 

The little one who loves variety can wear the headband or bow alone or easily slip the clip into the headband for three distinct looks. A Velcro strip on the headband keeps unruly hair at bay.

from $12 for both pieces, $7 for headbands and $5 for average bows, Ciao Bella Bows.

 
Upward Spiral
 

These fabric-covered wires bend to your will. Twist the smaller ones for simple ponies and try the longer ones as headbands or experiment with your own styles.

$12 for a 25" wire; $10 for a pack of six 4" wires, Knot Heads.

 
Prep School

Maybe it's because we grew up idolizing Madeline, but we think these clips are très chic and oh-so French.

$8 per clip, No Slippy Hair Clippy.

 
Flower Girl

Supergrippy Velcro strips inside these clips keep fine hair up. But mostly we just love how plush these preppy petals look.

$7 per clip, My Izzy.
