Try These Hair Clip Hairstyles
1. Curly Center Part Hairstyle
Flaunt your long hair in a down ‘do together with hair clips by sporting the curly center part hairstyle. Just curl the tips of your hair, then put a couple of hair clips to form an X on both sides of your head. Very easy, right?
Editor’s tip: For soft and bouncy hair that’s worth showing off, wash it with Dove Oxygen and Nourishment Shampoo and Dove Oxygen and Nourishment Conditioner.
2. One-Sided Hair Clip on Layered Hair
Got a side part? Put a hair clip on one side, and if you have layered hair, scrunch your locks to help define your layers. It’s a great way to make a casual ‘do more chic.
3. Twin Braids with Hair Clips
Add more personality to your two braid hairstyles by jazzing them up with hair clips. You can also go for colored bobby pins and arrange them in a criss-cross fashion above your braids. Cute, right?
Editor’s tip: Keep your hair fragrant all day long by washing it with Sunsilk Smooth & Manageable Shampoo. It also helps make your hair smooth and easier to style.
4. Wavy Short Hair
You can also create a wavy hairstyle with hair clips to spice up your everyday look. Just curl your hair outwards from your face using a curling iron to make big curls, add cute hair clips, and voila — simple chic ‘do achieved!
5. Symmetrical Clips
If your hair naturally parts at the center and you don’t want to change it, you can simple comb your hair neatly and add matching clips on either side. Go for this ‘do if you love timeless looks. Make sure you have a bunch of matching hair clips so you can wear different pairs every day.
6. Pin Crown
Elevate your humble bobby pin. Gather as many as you want and create a bobby pin crown. You can form several triangles or squares that go from one side of your head to the other, or you can just place the pins randomly on your hair. Nail this look by choosing bobby pins that contrast with your natural hair color.
Editor’s tip: Get sleek and straight hair without going for expensive salon treatments by using Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultimate Straight Conditioner.
7. Mix and Match Hair Clips with Bangs
Can’t choose from a myriad of clips on your dresser? Why not mix and match them to create your own statement? Simply set your bangs and put three to four different hair clips on one side of your hair. Don’t worry if they don’t have the same color and design because there is beauty in variety.
8. Half Up Space Buns With Hair Clips
Put your clips just above or below your buns to make your ‘do more exciting! To keep your hairstyle from looking over-the-top, choose smaller hair clips or those with minimalist designs to complement your buns.
9. Mix of Pearl Hair Clips
Gunning for a more elegant look? You can do that with hair clips, too! Clips that are decorated with pearl studs make for great hair accessories for special occasions. You can place just one clip on your hair or wear a few to add more oomph to your look.
10. Bob with Hair Clips
A symmetrical look also goes with a bob, especially if you have blunt bangs. Just place the hair clips near your ears so they won’t compete with your fringe, and all elements on your hair are given equal attention. Don’t forget to blow dry your bangs down and straight so they keep to their shape.
11. Floral Hair Accessories
Love spring and summer? Let your hair show it by wearing floral accessories. This look was even spotted at the Paris Fashion Week last January.
When you sport this ‘do, make sure that the shapes and colors of your floral hair accessories complement each other. Also, keep your hair sleek, shiny, and straight to give balance to your whole look.
12. Center Parted Medium Hair
This look is also on trend this year; what more if you add hair clips to the picture. If you have a lob or shoulder-length hair, make sure that it is free from fly aways by blow drying or ironing your locks. Then, finish with a drop of hair serum to add shine.
13. One-Sided Clip Short Hairstyle
You don’t always have to wear hair clips in pairs. A one-sided clip barrette makes for a simple romantic short hairstyle, especially when you add some waves or texture to your hair. It’s also a quick and easy way to look extra pretty on a regular day, even if you’re just wearing a shirt-and-jeans combo.
14. White Clips on Black Hair
Want a stark contrast on your hair? If you have naturally black or dark hair, wear white clips. The result is a look that’s part girly, part edgy, and 100% chic.
15. Short Blunt Haircut
When you think you look plain in your simple blunt bob, add hair clips! You can wear plain ones, or choose barrettes with different shapes for a more playful look. Wearing hair clips can also help you showcase statement earrings, so make sure your hair and fashion accessories complement each other.
16. Slicked Back
When it comes to glam looks, our personal favorite slicked back hairstyle can use hair clips as an accent. A perfect ‘do for date nights and special events, it goes well with any pretty dress or ensemble you have laid out for the occassion. You can even wear the clips in geometric forms to raise your style notches edgier!
Editor’s tip: Spritz TRESemmé Salon Finish Extra Hold Hairspray on your ‘do to secure its hold all day long.
17. Pixie Cut
Yup, even the shortest of hair lengths can wear hair clips! It’s also a great trick for taming your growing short hair, especially when it’s at its awkward stage. Just wear them on the side to neatly tuck your hair behind your ear for a sleek, chic hair clip hairstyle.
18. Bedazzled Long Hair
Who says you can’t go wild with hair clips? We beg to disagree! Mix-and-matching hair clips is a fun take on this trend that we strongly believe we should all try. You can even match it with your quirky outfit for a standout look.
19. Low Messy Bun
When you’re having a lazy day, hair clips can effortlessly elevate your ‘do. If you’re due for a formal affair but got no energy to glam up, you can just wear elegant clips on your underdressed hair –say a messy low bun– to match your outfit.
20. Side-Parted Long Hair
Want to show off your beautiful long hair? Part your hair to the side and accessorize with a hair clip or two for a chic touch. Now the spotlight’s on your long, soft, and bouncy hair!
21. Claw Clip Updo
Level up your ‘do with an updo by using claw clips as your hair accessory. Crazy? We say high fashion! Use the black ones so it blends well with your black hair, perfect for an all-black ensemble.
Editor’s tip: For complex updos, a more potent hairspray is a must to give your hairstyle a firmer hold. Use the TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray.
22. Wavy and Long with Metallic Clip
A low ‘do looks great with a hair clip. Give body to your hair by adding huge waves using a wide-barreled curling wand, then part it in the middle or at the side, depending on how you want it. This look is guaranteed to leave your friends in awe as your beautiful waves bounce with your every move. Choose a clip that is simple to complete the look.
23. Big Snap Clips
To nail this ‘do, just keep your hair down, part it at the side, and put on two big pearl clips. You can also opt to part it in the middle and put a clip on each side of your hair. It’s a great way to level up a simple dress for an evening romantic date.
Editor’s tip: Make your hair look its best by applying a good amount of Cream Silk Standout Straight Leave-On Cream to keep frizz away. It gives your body a smooth and shiny finish without the greasy after-feel.
24. Low Pinned Wavy Hair
Give your hair some beautiful loose waves and put the hair clip (or hairpin if you like) just right above your ears. Let the other side of your hair fall to your face for a sense of mystery. Of course, you can also wear this hairstyle to a date or a lazy afternoon at the park.
25. Half Updo with Studded Barrette
Wavy hair is nice to flaunt and wear in a low ‘do. But if you don’t like the feeling of your hair falling all over your face, then, this half updo is the best hairstyle for you. This style looks really cute and feminine because only the hair on your crown is gathered into a half updo, making it look unique yet stylish.
Hair clips aren’t just for kids and teens. Even women like you can wear them anytime you like, especially if you want to rock these chic looks. There are actually no hard and fast rules when it comes to wearing them. Whatever works for you is fine, so go ahead and mix and match your favorite pins, clips, and barrettes. Have fun!
