Phony Ponytail
Oh, the phony pony! It's just a method for short-haired ladies to pretend that I Dream of Jeannie style. These clip-in extensions are greatest disguised by covering another piece of hair around the elastic or using a decorative ponytail holder (yep, we're taking it back to the scrunchie days).
Clip-on Bangs
Bangs: everyone's tried them no less than once (and failed no less than once). Save yourself from the troublesome fringe grow-out stage with falsies. When you first snap in your clip-on bangs, it may seem super noticeable. But simillar to fake eyelashes you have to personalize them for your face.

Braids
Marley twists, box braids, and Senegalese twists all get into the I-am-to-busy-to-style-my-hair group. Every Summer during vacation season, you can notice celebs like Solange Knowles rocking these extra long plaits. These artificial styles are simple to handle on vacation when there is chlorine and saltwater involved. Your postbeach hair routine only requires a easy rinse and repeat.
Sock Bun
Not everybody has the dense, luscious tresses needed to style into the perfect top knot. That's where the bun shaper comes effortlessly. Star hairstylists use these "rats" to fill oversize buns on the red carpet. Just slip your ponytail through, cover the foam with your locks, and fix with a rubber band and bobby pins. You can also do the budget version by cutting the toes from an old tube sock and rolling it up into a similar doughnut shape.
