How to Use a Hair Clip with Curly Hair?

Published in Curly Hair Styling 2 mins read

Using a hair clip with curly hair is a great way to style your hair and get it off your neck, especially during warmer months. Here’s how to do it:

Simple & Messy Clip Style

Based on a video titled "How To Style A Claw Clip with CURLY HAIR!", here's a simple method:

  1. Gather Your Hair: Collect your curly hair at the nape of your neck, as if you are going to put it in a low ponytail.
  2. Twist Upward: Twist the gathered hair upwards, towards the back of your head.
  3. Secure with Clip: Take your claw clip and secure the twisted hair by clipping it at the bottom. Ensure the clip grasps the majority of the twisted section.
  4. Embrace the Mess: The style is meant to be relaxed and slightly messy. Don't worry about perfect placement.
  5. Adjust: If desired, pull out a few tendrils of hair around your face to add to the relaxed look.

This technique, detailed in the video reference, provides a quick way to put your hair up while maintaining a stylish look, as shown in the video clip at [2:27 - 2:42] and [5:39 - 5:42]. This is perfect for a casual, summer-ready hairstyle.

Other Styling Considerations

While the method above focuses on a quick and easy style, here are a few other points to consider when using hair clips with curly hair:

  • Clip Size: Choose a clip size that suits the thickness and volume of your hair.
  • Clip Material: Opt for clips that are strong enough to hold your hair without slipping, such as those with strong springs and teeth.
  • Hair Texture: Depending on your curl type, you might need to adjust the amount of twist you create before clipping. Looser curls might need more of a twist than tighter, coily curls.
