One thing about me: I’m constantly sporting a slicked-back ponytail. Whether my hair is day-three greasy (no one needs to know) or I’m simply in the mood for an updo, I love opting for the sleek look. So, when I discovered the super simple and affordable way to elevate my go-to hairstyle, I was immediately sold. Enter: the ponytail hair cuff.
I’ve been wearing these chic pony cuffs for a while now, and I’m def not the only one adorning my hair. Fashion week attendees were spotted topping off their ponytails in hair jewelry like gold bands, colorful arches, and soooo much more. The embellishments are attached to thick and flexible hair ties, so you don’t need to have the skills of a professional stylist to pull off the look. Simply throw up your hair and wrap the band around your ponytail.
The best part? You can snag them for as low as $8 on Amazon.

"Styling my hair has always been difficult for me, so I love that these cuffs make it feel like I went to a professional even though all it takes is a quick five minutes,” says associate shopping editor Daisy Maldonado. “As someone with thin hair, the Bella Cuff from RPZL is the perfect weight to where I don't feel like it's tugging at my strands."
“I swear, every editor I know has been wearing these during NYFW,” explains shopping editor Hannah Oh. “They’re such a simple way to elevate your jewelry situation since all you have to do is tie up your hair into a bun or ponytail. It’s also ideal for anyone who avoids heat tools and doesn’t wanna spend too much time styling their hair in the morning (aka me).”
