Styling Hair Clips
Depending on the length of your hair (as well as what way you are styling your hair clips) it will be more difficult to use hair clips. If you have shorter hair it should be easy to just hold your hair and put the clip in it. However, if you have longer hair you may need to wet it and gather it tightly before putting the hair clip in.
It all depends on what aesthetic or occasion you are dressing for. For more formal and preppy looks, neutral claw clips are probably best. If you are looking for a more coastal beach look, flower clips are for you. Butterfly and banana clips are perfect for casual spring and summer outfits. Not sure if any of these fit the description of what you are going for? Snap barrettes are the perfect fall back which go with just about anything and look both classy as well as laid back.
Three popular ways to style hair clips include classic, half up half down and messy. The classic way involves gathering your hair and rolling it up into a bun before clipping it in place. The playful more messy style involves clipping into your ponytail. Finally, the half up half down look involves only taking half your hair, forming a bun and clipping it into place while leaving the rest of your hair down.
