How To Organize Hair Accessories In A Drawer: Clips, Headbands, & More

was surprised to see that the internet lacks inspiration and ideas on how to organize hair accessories in a drawer. Not even Pinterest offers something solid. I have created my own solutions and ideas that are working for me, and now I am sharing them with you. By the end of this guide you will have affordable ways to organize, both with items that you can find around your house, and with new pieces.

Headbands

Throughout this guide you will see a few different ways to tackle headbands and head wraps, but, this is my solution to keep the thin elastic and stretchy kind tangle-free. For how to organize headbands in a drawer, I use a $1 round food storage container with a lid that I found at Dollar Tree. This also works with the thicker plastic kind, but you will fit less in the container. I can easily dig through this and grab what I want.

Hair Clips

Hair clips come in many varieties. For the bulkier types, I like a divided and layered storage container. The goal is to make everything easy to see and accessible, and I can easily grab the clip that I want with this container. I even have some extra space to play with! A pro tip here- this type of container is great for jewelry and crafting as well!

A very popular way to accessorize hair is with snap clips, specifically the acrylic and pearl kind. I keep them in a metal tin that I saved from a makeup gift set. When my collection was smaller I could keep them all in one layer, but I can still see everything that I have.

Hair Ties and Scrunchies

I keep all of them on plastic shower curtain rings or carabiner clips. Honestly, it is easier to get your hair ties off of a shower curtain ring, and you can get a full pack at Walmart for $.97. I even keep head wraps organized on them. This is a cheap and excellent solution to keep you from loosing hair ties or having them scattered everywhere, while also being able to see your full collection.

Small Accessories

You need to grab yourself an ice cube tray with a lid! The lid prevents your items from spilling everywhere if you accidentally bump the tray, but you can also see your inventory precisely. Additionally, the trays should stack well in your drawer.

Now we are going to talk about how to organize hair tools in drawers that are larger. As you can see, I have thick plastic headbands, bun makers, salon clips, and more. I recommend clear acrylic drawer organizers for these. You can also throw your hair ties and scrunchies that you have placed on shower curtain rings and carabiner clips into these organizers. I like the kind that look like trays, but you can also get individual pieces and create your own layout.

When it comes to thick fabric headbands, I actually roll them up and place them side-by-side in a clear acrylic organizer. They will stay exactly how you put them, and you can easily see what you have. You can also see I have some small zipper pouches and random hair accessories in my organizers too.

I like to re-use containers that I find around the house instead of buying new storage options. This belt container is a great place for my head scarves. Dumping my clear elastics in this mini bin has eliminated me finding them spilled all throughout the drawer.
