Growing your hair out always seems like a good idea. Until you realize what a mess of bobby pins, elastic bands, and head scarves it takes to wrangle your unruly locks into a respectable shape.

Luckily, Brookyn-based jewelry designer Lisa Levine has a new line of sterling and leather creations for hair that will ease wayward tresses through the painful transition.

The Falling Rain barrette features a swatch of leather that supports a series of sterling strands. (Great for pinning back growing bangs.) The Artemis headband in leather with a sterling linked chain across the front will hold down the poofiest hair, while simultaneously looking flapper-esque. Seriously crazy locks need the Double Falling Rain barrette, which holds back the wildness in a delightfully haphazard way.

Which beats a head full of pins any day.
