A Prettier Ponytail: Eco-friendly Hairclips

Summer is at it’s height and the weather is hot. Very hot. I’ve got long hair and I pull it up in a twist or ponytail every day.
This is effective in that it keeps my hair off of my neck, but it’s also a bit boring. I like to use ponytail holders with faux flowers attached or pinned on sometimes. I like to pick a faux flower that looks faux on purpose, made of cloth, perhaps a patterned piece of material. I am not trying to pull of a Real Flower look, just adding something fun to an otherwise boring ponytail.
I found these cute silky fabric flowers with the faux seed pearls at Artfire. Artfire is like Etsy – a sort of online mall full of beautiful handmade items. The fabric used for the flower clips was upcycled, so these are eco-friendly, too. They are attached to new hairpins, the seller mentions they are the Goody brand.
