Judge Judy's Clip-In Ponytail Totally Changed Her Look. Here's How To Do It.

Judith Sheindlin, more affectionately and widely known as Judge Judy , has been laying down the law on daytime television for 23 years. For most of that time, she’s done it in her signature bob hairstyle. So when she debuted a gasp small clip-in ponytail at the nape of her neck in April, some fans objected to the look .

In a New York Times interview , Sheindlin, 76, explained that after decades on the air, she wanted to give her hair a break from styling. It’s given her more time to do things she enjoys, all at a cost of $29.95.  

Sheindlin looks undeniably different with the new hairstyle, yes, but she also looks undeniably chic. It got us thinking about the power of a ponytail, and how radically it can change your appearance without having to do all that much work. 

We can’t guarantee that use of a clip-in will bestow you with Judge Judy-levels of sass, but these 10 options, which come in a range of price points, textures and colors, are a perfect way to switch it up. Some are clipped in using bobby pins, some are closed using Velcro, some are wrapped around the hair, and some come with a clip already attached. It’s as easy as finding an episode of “Judge Judy” to watch in the middle of the day.
