Instead of going for an expensive chop why not make your hair look different with these cute accessories...

We don't know about you but we're pretty skint right now... that £40 hair cut and blow dry just isn't in our budget anymore, we'd love to blame the credit crunch but we did do some pretty heavy sale shopping!

So to get us through the pinch we've decided to update our hair style with the clever use of hair accessories!

Here are our faves from the high street...

This cute bow looks perfect with curly or straight hair, hair up or hair down... with so many varieties how can you say no!

This one is from asos.com for £5!

Or do like the celebs and invest in a plaited hair braid to suit your hair colour!

Check out all the colours at Dorothy Perkins, £5
