Let’s be honest--it sometimes takes quite a bit of help to pull off a good hair day. Bobby pins, headbands and elastic bands are big helps, but storing them can be a challenge. While they don’t take up much space, they’re so small that losing them can be easy. Here are nine ideas for keeping everything in its place.

Glass jars.

Buy glass jars in a variety of sizes to keep all of your smaller products. Not only are they handy, but they look pretty lined up on your bathroom counter or vanity.
