Some mornings, you have just enough time to tie your hair before heading out. A padded headband or a black satin bow can make a simple hairstyle look like you planned it. And if looking presentable feels like too much work, you can always clip a tiny banana into your hair.
1. Satin Cloud Bubble Claw Clip (Black)
A claw clip has two rows of interlocking teeth that close around a twist of hair. This large one is covered in black satin gathered into puffy ruffles, so the clip itself adds volume at the back of your head when you pull your hair up.
Use it for a ponytail or a half-up style, where you clip back the top section and leave the rest of your hair loose. It ships from Taiwan. Other colours are sold on the same page, so go for the “Black” one.

2. Spiral Coil Hair Tie (Iridescent Clear)
This clear resin hair tie curls into a tight spiral like an old telephone cord. It’s about 5.5cm across and has an iridescent finish, which means it shows different colours as the light catches it. It’s sold as one piece.
It’s designed to avoid leaving a dent in your hair when you take your ponytail down, which is handy if you like to wear your hair loose later in the day. It ships from Mainland China. Go for “#2” for the clear coil with the rainbow sheen.

3. High Sponge Padded Headband (Cream)
This wide cream headband is made of cloth with sponge padding that gives it a thick, puffy shape. The raised band is enough to make a plain hairstyle look more dressed up, even if all you’ve done is push your hair back.
Slip it on with your hair down when there’s time for one step before you leave the house. The headband is sold as a single piece and ships from Singapore. Other colours are sold on the same page, so go for “2#” for cream.

4. MissMe Funny Banana Hair Clip
This little clip looks like a half-peeled yellow banana. The fruit is made of glossy acrylic, a type of plastic, and sits on a metal alligator clip. That’s a spring clip you squeeze to open and release to pinch shut around your hair.
Clip it to one side if you want the banana to be the first thing people notice. It’s sold as a single clip and ships from Taiwan. Other food-shaped designs are sold on the same page, so go for “(Ii 54) Cute Banana”.

5. Big Satin Bow Hair Clip (Black)
This TOPSHINY bow is made of black satin, with long, wide tails that hang down the back of your head. It’s attached to a barrette, a hair clip with a clasp, so you can clip the bow into place without having to tie it yourself.
Fasten it just above a low ponytail to let the tails fall alongside your hair. It also works where the top section meets the loose hair in a half-up style. The bow is sold as one piece and ships from Mainland China. Go for “B” for the black bow.

6. Square Satin Silk Scarf (90cm x 90cm, Pink Print)
This square silk scarf measures 90cm by 90cm and has a pink background with a gold and olive baroque print, an ornate pattern full of swirls. Fold it into a band to wear across your hair, or tie it as a headscarf to show more of the print.
You can also knot it around your neck or drape it over your shoulders as a shawl. The scarf ships from Mainland China. The same page carries several other prints, so go for “1#” for the pink scarf with gold and olive swirls.

7. Sponge Bun Maker (23cm, Black)
This bun maker is a long black sponge bar with a slit down the middle. Thread your ponytail through the slit, then roll your hair up around the bar. The sponge gives the hair something to wrap around as you form a neat, full bun.
It’s for mornings when you’ve already tied a ponytail but would rather wear your hair in a bun. The black sponge bar is sold as one piece and ships from Mainland China. A shorter bar is also sold on the same page, so go for “23cm”.

8. Twist Knot Turban Headband (Khaki)
This khaki headband is made of ribbed elastic, with raised lines in the fabric and a twisted knot at the front. That twist gives it a turban-style look, like fabric wrapped across the forehead. The band measures 52cm around and is sold as one piece.
Wear the knot at the front and use the band to push your hair back on mornings when the front pieces won’t sit where you want them to. It ships from Malaysia. Other colours are sold on the same page, so go for “Khaki”.
