4 Ways to Fake an Intricate Hairstyle

by Jaime Richards 0

We don't all have oodles of time to spend on our hair in the mornings — sometimes there's barely five minutes. That's where we can get by from a little help from our friends, and those friends are available in the hair accessories aisle. See how you can whip up four different pulled-together hairstyles in seconds with these smart buys.

• Fast fringe: Let's be blunt: heavy bangs are in. Luckily it's easy to add a fashionable twist to your look just by clipping in some fringe at your hairline, such as these clip on bangs (approx $29) from Urban Outfitters.
• That's a wrap: With the Tony hair band (approx $8.70), it will only seem like you spent a lot of time carefully and strategically wrapping your hair headband-style. What you'll get, however, is instant polish and sophistication without the hassle.
• Pony up: Can we all agree that braids make anything look better? On days where a ponytail is a necessity, dress it up a bit with a braided hair tie (approx $7.75).
• All stacked up: A simple stack-up of bobby pins (in any colour or pattern) not only lends a quirky element to your look, but keeps unruly hair at bay. Try Marc by Marc Jacobs Love Edge Bobby Pins (approx $21.25) for a whimsical touch.
