Anyone who has long hair knows how many accessories are needed to keep their "manes" under control. And these accessories can make a real mess laying around the bathroom, for example.

In fact, we never seem to have enough elastic bands, hair clips, hairpins, combs and brushes for our hair; not to mention hairdryers and straighteners - essential for perfect styling but bulky objects to store away neatly.

Fortunately, by following some simple "rules", you can restore order to your hair accessories.

Over time, the number of your hair accessories has probably grown significantly. But are you really sure you need all of these? Start by gathering up all of your hair accessories and then selecting only those you actually use. If you haven't used an accessory by now, you probably won't in the future. Also take advantage of this sorting to toss out any damaged or broken items.
