Ask Belle: Ponytail Accessories
Aug 6, 2014
Dear Belle,
I spotted this chic, gold ponytail holder on Pinterest. I love it, but the one I found at Saks was almost $80. Can you help me find something similar that I can actually afford?
Thank you, Aimee
That is a sleek looking pony, and what a great alternative to the basic ponytail! Perfect for these hot summer days.
This round-cuff ponytail holder from Karina is just $7, and looks just like your photo. I also like this larger, cone-shaped ponytail holder, $18 at Nastygal. For something smaller, try this brushed-gold holder from Tasha for $14.
Like to wear your hair half-up/half-down? This clip from H&M can do double duty as a ponytail holder. I also like this inexpensive long barrette from Urban Outfitters. A stylish clip or ponytail cover just takes your simple hairdo up a notch.
I recently cut my hair just above my shoulders, and have had to embrace barrettes to put it up. I’m starting to drool over some nicer options than my initial drug-store purchases, namely france luxe: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002COXA4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2QWN35NJZ40KU&coliid=I2XFNP2UBPNV1K&psc=1
It really does look more put-together than a regular ponytail though, I will keep using them as my hair grows out.
