Sassy and Chic
If you’re on the prowl for the unique and gorgeous hair accessories like I always am, this shop will more than interest you. It’s hard to find accessories that cater to twisted or braided hair styles. I am absolutely in love with these Hair Chains:
From the product description:"I connected vintage chain to two adjustable cuffs. I offer these in an array of colors and sizes. The cuffs are adjustable. I wear them on my 2-strands and my braids for added interest, shine and style. For my sistas with locs, these will fit you, too, and look MAGNIFICENT along the length of your beautiful coif. for those with smaller locs, i'd be glad to hand coil you some wire in any color you like. be creative!! The chain is not heavy and will not weight your hair down. For my sistas with smaller twists/braids/locs, I can use smaller chain that will flow with the direction of your hair 
"
I ordered the chain pictured above and I have to say that I was surprised at how well made it was. I also love that she will work with you to get the type of chain that you want.
Did I say these were gorgeous??! And only 12 bucks. I will be modeling these the next time I do some small twists
You can also find some super cute earrings!
Her Etsy store, Peace Images, has recently moved to a new location. But fear not, Etsy fans…she still has a vintage jewelry store called Classickness Vintage where you can find beauties like this:
Headscarves
It’s no secret that we natural ladies enjoy a beautiful hair scarf. I remember having a hard time finding scarves when I first went natural. Especially ones that did not break the bank. These lovely scarves start as low as 7 dollars!
Haute Handmade Hair Scarves and More by WASIJIRU
How cute is this? And it comes with a black satin backing. A steal at 9 bucks!
I am in love with this White Orchid Hair Scarf made of satin! So unique! Get it for 12 bucks!
These hair clips really add quite a flair! They run about 8 dollars!
I love these and they are perfect for jazzing up a TWA! I also really love that most of them are made from materials that won’t dry the hair out.
Kids Stuff
Baby girl is already getting a few hair accessories. I am from the South, so you know big hair bows on little girls are a must. I certainly had my share of them.
I found a shop with the most adorable bows and headbands. It’s called SugarnSpice Boutique. With my luck, this little girl will be born bald haha. But I’m ready in the meantime.
Here’s some of the items I bought.
Choose the colors for these simple bows. They come in sets of 6.
If she happens to be bald, she will still be wearing this LOL! They come in different sizes based on the child's age. The bow measures 3" long and comes attached to a partially lined alligator pinch clip with non-slip grip. The 5/8" wide headband has an interchangeable loop so that you can slide the bow in and interchange it with other bows.
A flower for my little flower These are hand sewn by the way!
I didn't order this one, but I thought it was cute and sassy.
One of the other nice things about this shop? Shipping is a flat rate of 2 bucks no matter how much you order.

I know we are all on the lookout for natural tees with some style and uniqueness. Well, I recently stumbled across Dirty Artist- Urban Tees. These designs are incredibly trendy and clever. Check em out! That lady drop kicking the woman trying to touch her hair is the one I’m ordering 
Natural hair tees aren’t the only thing they have for sell. They also have quite a few shirts that are just plain cool. Even for the man in your life! (A kids’s line is apparently in the works!)
I stumbled upon this Etsy store a few weeks ago. We all love flower accessories, but these are so unique and beautiful, I just had to share.
Kanzashi Hair Comb
Flower Clip
Headband
Flower Bobby Pin
The name of this shop is Petal Mix. From the shop’s description:
Petal Mix hair accessories and brooch pins are a modern twist on the Japanese art of tsumami kanzashi. Each petal is hand cut and folded from beautiful silks, imported Japanese textiles, and other high quality fabrics.
The colors are so vibrant and there are a lot of different designs, all with a Japanese flavor! Something I also like about this shop is that you can customize your order.
Here’s my purchase:
I adorned my puff with this hair comb
They are a little bit more expensive than I care to pay for hair accessories normally (I think I paid 18 bucks for this one?) but when I find something really unique, I feel it’s worth it. The combs are a bit iffy. I was a worried that I wouldn’t be able to get it through my hair as they have pretty skinny spacing. However, it slid easily on the side of my puff and twist outs. It did not, and that’s a big NOT, slide into my hair when it was twisted.
These are fabric as well, so I’ve had to be careful when my hair is heavy with product. Shipping was very fast and it came in a pretty box with a ribbon around it. (Hey, presentation is everything, right?)
I’m thinking about getting another one, but I have to decide the color.
The kind people at LadyBugsNButterflies sent me some cute hair accessories to try out. Since I am lacking the ever crucial-to-playing-in-hair “girl child”, I borrowed my friend’s darling little girl to model these items.
They let me choose two and I picked the ones below. Something I liked right off the bat was that you can pick and choose what kind of clip you want to secure the accessory. The crocheted pieces are very well made. The prices seem to range anywhere from $4.00 to $7.00.
"Amanda Jo" Frog Clip
Back of the frog clip. We chose a toddler clip for this one.
They have a lot of different types of clips.
"Emma Joy" Flower accessory, our second choice
We chose the Toddler "O" for the flower.
Our little model, showing off her cornrows with the flower clip.
Thanks to LadybugsNButterflies for letting us try these out, they are so cute!
Here are a few others that I really liked:
Obviously, I won’t be trying this, but I’m curious to see if any of you ladies have. If it works, it seems that it would be perfect for those with TWAs who want to do more than just wash n go.
