They were also so fun to open and close, well, basically all the time.


COMB HEADBAND

Aka spider headband, circle headband, zigzag headband.

Never has a headband been so much fun to wear since.


HAIR WRAP

...Complete with the beads and charms that dangled at the bottom.

But let's be honest, the only easy way to get these out was just to cut the whole thing off, which was never a good look.


HEADBAND BANDANA

Maybe yours was a real bandana, or maybe it was literally just a triangle piece of fabric glued to a headband from the Gap.


PONYTAIL HOLDERS WITH PLASTIC BALLS

Maybe you called them knocker balls or ballies. Whatever you called them, you remember sitting in front of your mom's lap while she covered your whole head with these, or clanging them together à la Newton's cradle when you were bored.


JUMBO CLAW CLIP

You'd gather all your hair in a ponytail, twist it, and clip it until your hair resembled a waterfall.

Ahh, the good old (hair) days.


SPONGE ROLLERS

These were so uncomfortable to sleep in, but you didn't care because you couldn't wait to wear your tight ringlet curls to school the next day.


BUTTERFLY CLIPS

Remember these butterfly clips? Of course you do, they were the bomb back in the day.


BANANA CLIP

An alternative to the ponytail. The only downfall to this tool is that the teeth would hold your hair hostage and then you'd spend the next five to 10 minutes carefully rescuing your strands from its grip.


FURRY POM POM HAIR TIE

Britney Spears had them, so you wanted them too.


PUFFY HEADBAND

Puffy headbands seem comfortable. But they really just gave you the worst headaches of your life.
