Clear Hair Elastics

Let's put it this way: You don't want a purple hair tie at the end of your chic fishtail braid, unless you're seven.

Meant for getting a perfectly taught ponytail, this elastic won't snap as you wrap it around and fit firmly into place.

Silk Hair Wrap

Yes, it's not the sexiest thing you could go to sleep in, but if you care about how your hair looks the next day, you'll become a devotee. (Editor's note: On nights you have the BF sleep over, opt for a silk pillowcase, it performs the same amount of hair magic)
