Ponytail Wraps
If Jessica Biel’s Golden Globes hair was any indication, low ponytails are back (and far from boring), thanks to a little bit of string, rope or what have you. Already own a silk scarf? Just tie it off at the base, wrap down the pony and tie off at the end.

All the polish with only some of the prep. We’re all about these pins: just push them in to instantly elevate any old updo.
Get the look: Claire's ($9); BHLDN ($60); Jennifer Behr ($225)

Scrunchies
Yes, really. The beloved ’90s hair accessory is getting a very 2018 redux in velvet and faux fur and in shades like electric blue and millennial pink.
Get the look: Free People ($8); Urban Outfitters ($12); Jen Atkin x Chloe & Isabel ($30)

Hardware
When in doubt, put some metal in it. Wrapped around ponies or pinned basically anywhere, a little bling amps up the simplest of hairstyles. Post-gym locks, meet your match.
