Changing up your outfits on the day-to-day can be challenging. While Monday’s outfit can be a breeze, as we hit that end-of-week slump, our closets start to become more and more disappointing.

For those wanting to switch up their, otherwise, bland outfits, we introduce to you: hair accessories! While they’re not exactly a new invention, they’re certainly an underrated fashion staple – and we say they need to make a comeback!

WATCH: These hair accessories will give you a major throwback. Article continues after video.

In the hair accessory domain, you may have witnessed the comeback of certain 80’s and 90’s styles that you wish to keep buried (we don’t blame you!). While the scrunchie and zig-zag headband certainly have their place in the fashion hall of fame, if you’re wanting to diversify your collection, you’ve come to the right place.

Truly, a good headband, bow, or clip will basically solve all of your problems (don’t hold us to this though!). All-black ensemble? Slap on a headband. Ponytail looking a bit too boring? Put a bow on it. See? Solved!
