How to Wear Hair Clips: Top Styles
There are a few ways you can use hair clips, which fall into a few basic categories:
- the full updo – all the hair is held by the hair clip in a bun or similar style, which can be made look messy and effortless or indeed very chic and elegant
- half updo – half of the hair is left loose for a more natural look
- side sweep – only part of the hair is held up with the clip
- decorative style – hairclip is used more as a decoration rather than to hold a lot of hair
Admittedly, hair clips work best on long or at least shoulder-length hair as that gives them enough to grab on and stay in place.
How to Wear Hair Clips: Best Clips for Your Hair
When choosing the hair clips for your hair, there are a few things you should keep in mind, to ensure you select the most practical model for your hair.
Here are a few tips on choosing the best clips for your hair:
- how thick is your hair? If it’s really thick, you will need to find more sturdy clips that can take in a lot of hair and don’t break easily
- how long is your hair? if you’re planning to roll it in a bun, you need to ensure the clip is strong enough to hold it
- what color is your hair? For blondes, dark-colored clips make more of a statement, but you can also choose lighter tones if you want them to blend in. For dark hair ladies the options are exactly the same: if you want to make a statement, a contrasting color clips will look fabulous and really pop against the dark hair
- what hairstyle are you wanting to achieve? A specific hairstyle might require clips of certain size or shape, so take that into account
