You’ve admired the athleticism, strength and grace of the Olympic women (or should we say “girl”) gymnasts.
You’ve studied their shiny uniforms. And admit it, you just love their cute and glittery makeup and hair. They all have the same ‘do: tight ponytail topped with a scrunchie, and ubiquitous clippies of all shapes and sizes to tuck away errant tendrils.
For a bit of Olympic style, you can stick with the basic $2 Scunchi clips, or explore a world of cutesy hair holders, like the pink sparkled star clips from Forever 21 ($4.80, right). While you’re on their site, check out the pretty bow bobby pins, the bow hair-pin set ($6.80) and even a plaid bow hair clip for $4.80.
From there, we’ve found a riot of cute clippies all over the Web, like the crystal topped bobbi pin ($4.40 from Ulta), 3 leafy barrettes from Anthropologie on sale for $10, $18 star clips from Kitson and bobbi pins with butterflies from Aldo, on sale for $6.
If money is no object, even when it comes to hair clips, go for the Louis Vuitton monogrammed pair at eLuxury for $225 (pictured, left), or the $50 basic barrette from Space NK.
Oh, and don’t forget the glitter: Sephora’s glitter spray comes in silver or gold for $12, Make Up For Ever’s diamond powder in a rainbow of shades is $24 and Cargo’s eye glimmer set of six is $25. If you want designer shimmer, there’s Givenchy glitter to go from Saks for $35, or if you want bare bones sparkle, Sally Beauty Supply has sparkling loose glitter for only 89 cents (but you have to go to a Sally store to buy it).
