Buns are among the easiest hairstyles to do when you’re sick of wearing a ponytail, but you desperately need your hair up. You might already be trying out the obvious ways to accessorize your buns like adding a cute scrunchie or laying down some of your baby hairs, but one other way you can accessorize your buns is by adding chopsticks.

You can just use the chopsticks you have lying around your house from your latest take-out order, or order some really cute ones off of sites like Amazon.

Claw clips have become everyone’s best friend since the 90s/ Y2K staple started to gain popularity again in 2020. They can be styled in an updo, a half-up half-down, or even in two buns. The claw clip updo is one hairstyle that can always be trusted, whether you’re having a good or a really bad hair day. Claw clips come in many different colors, shapes, and sizes.

You can get a cute flower claw clip for when you are on a summer vacation or a basic black claw clip for your everyday use. They are also relatively cheap as well so you do not have to splurge to make your hair look cute. Brands and retailers like H&M, Urban Outfitters, & Amazon have some really great claw clip options.

BRAIDED beauty

Braids have been everywhere lately. More specifically the Lara Croft-inspired slick back high-braid. This hairstyle is extremely easy for anyone to pull off, even if you have shorter hair you can simply add hair extensions to get the desired long length. You can put chopsticks in the ponytail part of the braid, and add cute barrettes and butterfly clips to really accessorize the hair look.

Another cool way to amp up this hairstyle would be to add ribbons into the braid or use them as hair ties.

Ballin With BArettes

Barrettes and bobby pins can be used for any hairstyle, whether that be a really big blowout or a slick back low bun to keep all of the hair out of your face. If you have bangs, barrettes and bobby pins are a great way to slick them back without the excessive use of gel or hairspray.

You can scoop barrettes and bobby pins up anywhere from your local discount & bargain stores and Dollar Tree locations, online retailers like Amazon, and your favorite brands like H&M.


Remember that you should only try out the things you like, so even though we are providing you with inspiration, feel free to take these hairstyles and go crazy with how YOU want to accessorize them.
