Beaded Hair Ties

A beaded hair tie turns the plainest thing in your bag into a small piece of jewelry. Each tie carries a polished metal bead, so it looks deliberate when it peeks out of a ponytail. Smooth elastics come out cleanly if you unroll them rather than yank; metallic cord wraps thicker, so the hold is spread wider. Turn the bead outward on a sleek low pony and it sits where a barrette would, or tuck it inside for a workout and nobody will know it is there.
