To clip hair with clips, you primarily use the clip to secure sections of hair, often to keep hair out of the way or to style it. Based on the provided reference, specifically focusing on claw clips, here's how:
Using a Claw Clip for Hair
- Gather your hair: First, collect the hair you want to secure. This could be all of your hair for an updo or sections of hair for different styles.
- Position the clip: Open the claw clip and position it at the base of the gathered hair. The reference ([Part of a video titled How To Put Your Hair Up In A Claw Clip For Beginners - YouTube]()) shows that you should then "clip down".
- Secure the hair: Close the claw clip, making sure that it holds your hair firmly.
- Adjust for volume: The reference ([Part of a video titled How To Put Your Hair Up In A Claw Clip For Beginners - YouTube]()) further suggests that once clipped down, you can pull in your hair to give it more volume.
- Style front: To frame your face, you can take some hair down, from the front.
