Hair.

The cheapest way to change a look

Four pieces — claws, clips and alloy braid rings — and all of them under thirty dollars. They are the least committal thing in the shop: nothing to size, nothing to fit, and no permanence.

Claw clips hold thick hair better than thin, and the grip on each depends on its teeth rather than its size, which is why the product photographs are worth a look at full size. The braid rings are sold in a set and are the sort of thing that gets used once for an event and then found again a year later. Returns are 14 days from delivery.
