Hair accessories: where to buy hair ties, clips and hairbands at a good price

Updated 31 October 2026

An accessory to suit your hair type and length

What holds fine hair well will not cope with thick hair. For thick, long hair, look for a big claw clip or a strong hair stick; for fine hair, soft hair ties without metal joins and small clips. Hair breaks easily on rough hardware, so the quality of the edges and the spring matters more than a pretty picture.

Spiral hair ties (like Invisibobble) are a category of their own: they leave no creases and are handy at night or after a shower. Silk scrunchies are kinder to hair and useful if you worry about split ends. Bobby pins and hair pins differ in length and in a matte coating that does not slip.

Material and safety

Look at what the item is made of. Natural silk and satin glide over hair and damage it less. Plastic is better without sharp seams, and metal should have a good coating so the paint doesn't peel. For a child, choose soft hair ties without small parts that can be swallowed and without sharp edges.

Sport and sleep need different things: for workouts, take a strong hair tie or a band that doesn't slip, and for the night a soft silk one so your hair doesn't tangle. For styles such as a bun, pins of different lengths and a bun donut are useful.

What to put in your request

• What you need — hair tie, claw clip, hairband, pins, bow, bandana.
• Material — silk, satin, plastic, metal, fabric.
• Colour — one shade or a print, to match hair or clothes.
• Size — large for thick hair, small for fine hair.
• Quantity — a single piece or a set, for example 10 hair ties.
• For whom — woman, man, child (age).
• Brand — if you want a specific one.
• Budget — if you want to name one.

Example: “I need a set of 10 soft spiral hair ties in black and dark brown for thick hair, plus two large claw clips. Jurong West, courier delivery. Budget up to S$6.39.”

How it works on BlaBlaPrice

Small accessories are usually bought in sets, and the price depends a lot on the quantity. Instead of comparing dozens of cards, describe what you need in one request. Sellers answer in the chat: what is in the set, how much it costs, how they deliver. The platform shows the best offer by content first, and seller reviews are visible next to each. Anyone who wants to win the request can improve their terms, because they see their place among others.

When you compare, look at the number of pieces in the set and at the material: a set of 20 cheap hair ties and 5 good ones can cost the same but will serve differently. A request stays active for 30 days, and you can extend it. How it is all set up is on the “How it works” page.

You can add glasses or costume jewellery to the look, and there are more ideas in the “Accessories” section.
