Since you can only stand a top knot for so long, chic things up with these easy DIY hair accessories.

We might be having fun in the sun, but our hair sure isn’t. Between the frizz, bleached-out color, and tangles, our tresses look and feel… well, exhausted. And you can only throw it up in a top knot or sport beach waves so many times before needing to kick things up several notches.
